Folk remedies

• Sagebrush

Wormwood is a useful herb, in which there are substances intolerable by the organisms of worms, so they gradually die. But the grass contains harmful components that can harm the dog's health in case of an overdose. That is why you can add a quarter teaspoon of alcoholic tincture with wormwood to the feed and only three days in a row, no more.

• Carnation

Roundworms and flatworms dislike carnation buds because of their antiseptic and harmful effects, so this herb is an excellent option, useful for a pet and dangerous for alien pests.

The treatment should be continued for a week, once a day, painting one bud in food. After a week, you can repeat the procedure and so on for 2 months with interruptions.

• Carrot

An affordable product that can be found on the shelves of any supermarket, and at the same time, very useful for both people and animals. But it must be applied through an enema, since with ordinary eating it will quickly be digested in the stomach. Before use, you need to warm up the juice to 37 degrees.

• Raw pumpkin seeds

Absolutely harmless to a dog, but intended for only one type of worms - cestodes. You can find out which worms a dog has become infected with when going to an appointment with a veterinarian. Dosage - 5 g of pumpkin seeds per 5 kg of dog weight.

They must be added to the feed in crushed form, before mixing with sunflower oil or ghee. Continue treatment for 5 consecutive days.

• Garlic

A controversial folk remedy that is often recommended by Internet users, you can even find many good reviews, but in fact you cannot overdo it. It is toxic to medium-sized dogs, so it is dangerous to consume it, especially if the pet's immune system is weak.Even pills are more beneficial than garlic.

• Fennel and chamomile decoction

The decoction is useful for both people and animals, but the dog itself will not drink it, so you can only drip it under the root of the tongue. Prevention can be carried out at least every day, but it is better not to spoil your appetite with this tasteless, albeit harmless herb.

• Decoction of dried pomegranate bark

This remedy is often advised by our dog-loving ancestors, it is completely safe, since the pomegranate bark contains the corresponding beneficial natural ingredients. For 10 g of bark, you need to pour half a glass of boiling water, leave for 30 minutes and give it to the dog every day.

• Black walnut

It grows in the USA, so it will be difficult and expensive to purchase it in Russia, but if it so happens that you have the opportunity to buy this product, then it will positively affect your pet's body and remove round and flatworms from the body completely painlessly.

You can not abuse it, since it is very toxic both for foreign parasites and for the host of the organism.

• Kieselguhr

Because of its appearance, this powder is called mountain flour. Not as toxic as other products, it is intended to be taken exclusively by mouth, but you should still not give your dog too much of this diatomaceous earth. For dogs up to 25 kg, one teaspoon per day will suffice, while large animals can be given a tablespoon.

• Oregon grapes (mahonia)

This plant can only be found in American fields, but it is also available for purchase in Russia. Due to the berberine contained in it, it effectively copes with any infections or parasites. It also has a protective effect, so if prevention is carried out from time to time with the help of this herb, then the dog will no longer be able to become infected with worms. Tones the liver and the entire digestive system.

The herb is sold in the form of a tincture, 12 drops per day should be given per 10 kg of the dog's weight. Should not be used in dogs with liver disease.

• Fig

Dried figs contain a unique enzyme called ficin, which weakens the activity of worms, weakens their integuments and immunity. One of the few foods that cannot be mixed with your dog's food, you just need to give it as it is. Only 1-2 fruits can be given at a time.

• Parsley

A popular herb in everyday life, it must be boiled in boiling water, filtered, cooled and frozen in ice cubes, then add one cube to the feed. It is not toxic to the dog at all.
