One of the most wonderful experiences there is in life is having a dog. They truly are man's (or woman's) best friend. Enjoy the great times that you have, but you must also take on the responsibility of taking care of them when they are not feeling well. Read on to find important tips and information on dog pain relievers that all dog owners should be knowledgeable about.

Alright, you have a dog in pain-what's the reason? You have to know the source of his suffering so you can deal with it and eliminate it from the animal's life. I mean, you can't administer a strong dog pain medicine if all your dog is experiencing is minor inconveniences of tick bites. If your dog seems to be in the throes of a sickness more serious in nature, you need to have him checked by a licensed vet right away.

When the vet confirms that the discomfort your dog is experiencing is not that serious, there are several effective ways you can go about treating it that doesn't entail strong medications. Ginger and peppermint extract for example alleviate nausea and car sickness. Help him to relax by getting a few drops of lavender or chamomile oil and rubbing it on his coat or bedding.

Matted fur that cause "hot spots" and tick bites are prevalent causes of nuisance for the animal. Provide soothing comfort by applying a blend of water and tea tree oil on the irritated area. Have a bottle of some Eucalyptus spray ready and mist it all over your dog to repel the parasites from him. It will also leave your dog smelling fresh and clean. Use herbal based formulations in treating your dog's flea problems as much as possible.

Help ease the stress that canines feel by giving them a gentle massage or brushing out their fur. This releases tension that also causes pain. Brushing them will allow you the opportunity to spot check for any tumors, rocks, ticks and wounds that your dog may have. Put some Aloe Vera on the cuts but if these wounds don't heal after 10 days, bring them to a vet.

Human medication should never be used as dog pain medicine at any time. The medicine that we use, no matter how mild we may think it is, contain chemicals that are too strong for animals. There are people who sometimes use Aspirin for their dogs in small amounts; but Aspirin can result in ulcers. Moreover, it also thins the bloodstream, endangering the life of an animal recuperating from surgery.

Now, if your pet's condition is not helped by these herbal remedies, consult the vet for a safe medication you can use for him. NSAIDs or non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs are over-all safe and effectively, particularly when used with a recommended supplement. It is advisable that any medication is closely monitored and given only over a period of time.

Use the simple tips and information on great dog pain relievers to ensure your dog's quality of life today. With a healthy diet and a regular exercise regimen, you can be sure that your dog enjoys his best life with you always.
