ABOUT Dr. Katie Woodley - The Natural Pet Doctor
=====
Dr. Katie is a small animal integrative veterinarian who developed a passion for natural medicine while I was living in New Zealand. Her vet career was lucky enough to begin in the beautiful country of New Zealand. She was able to see how living off the land by growing our own vegetables and raising our own animals was the way to live the healthiest versions of ourselves. Her pets were lucky to have lots of open space to run around in and were always at the beach or the river.
When they moved back to the States five years ago, her husband, unfortunately, developed an autoimmune disease. As they researched natural medicine options for him to avoid the horrible side effects of the treatment options his doctors were providing him, Dr. Katie realized that she was doing a disservice to her animal patients by not offering these holistic options to them. She began down the integrative medicine route and has never been happier. Through nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, essential oils, and supplements, every animal can achieve optimal health or feel their best even when they have a chronic illness or disease like cancer. She currently has a certification in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and is continuously learning about the other natural modalities and growing her knowledge base every day!
She started this business to provide pet parents with more resources for natural medicine advice and care because we need to increase awareness of how amazing natural medicine truly is! Dr. Katie's mission is to ensure that all pet parents have access to herbal medicine, supplementation, and nutritional advice throughout their pet's lifetime. One of her greatest joys is the opportunity to collaborate with both pet parents and other veterinary professionals to ensure access to all available integrative options for pet health care.

My dog started having seizures and foaming at the mouth, I thought I was going to have to put her down😢 as I was crying and loving on her I took a flea collar off of her and pretty much instantly she was back to normal!❤
Thank you Lord !
🙏💜🐶💜🙏
Omg thats crazy
Yep don't ever use pharmaceutical flea killers my go to is acv and diatomaceous earth I've yet to find something natural that kills the eggs 🥚
😮. Thank goodness you noticed that. No more anti flea collars for my dog then
Our vet said it is safe for our half-persian to get Frontline flea application as well as a flea/tick tablet at the same time it wont have side-effects.
A few years later our beautiful cat started getting seizures and died of kidney/heart failure.
It was a slow and agonizing death
I have lost any trust in doctors and vets because of that.
I love that Dr. Katie cares enough to provide natural alternatives - she is a REAL vet.
Thank you so much for your kind message. It means the world to me! We appreciate you watching and wanting more for your pets.
Just use functional med or holistic vets. Stay away from allopathic med vets.
@@judithlinfor1120 Exactly, I have a regular vet only because I need one for my pet insurance but I don't give my what he suggested. I adopted a pure dog near 2yrs old and she never seen a vet! No vax nothing, her first vet visit was for a checkup and stool test to be sure she's fine. He wanted me to buy the Revolution and that shit killed 2 of my doxies, AIHA both of them from it!! I had 5 doxies 3 passed of vax and or these meds. I swore never to give my new rescue anything that's a drug unless it's a life and death situation and she needs it but this stuff for fleas and ticks, no! I tell the regular vet that I already stocked up for a few years of meds when I was in MX (cheaper), but it's not true, I m not giving her anything.
I have lost trust in ALL doctors and the medical profession
I stopped going to my conventional vet because they insisted on these toxic flea treatments! My cat started having seizures at 2 years old. We go to a holistic vet now..give CBD for seizures…she is so much better! Thankful for our holistic vets who are in the business to help..not just to push the money making meds and treatments.😻
My tiny dog had a terrible reaction to the Lyme vaccine. She started vomiting foam for 2 hours straight. My vet wouldn't acknowledge it was a reaction because it happened 2 days later. She wanted to give my dog the Lepto shot that same day, but I told her I would prefer to split them up. My dog wasn't right for at least a couple months afterwards, very lethargic all the time. Until I gave her homeopathic Thuja, and she finally recovered. That was her last vaccine, we never went back for the Lepto.
So good to hear that you even stopped the vaccines as well! 👍
When the dogs come in from going on Hikes get a pet roller a hair pet roller and roll their coat with that and you'll be amazed at how many bugs and ticks you just pull off the top of their fur after they've been out in the wild it's amazing
I'm happy to hear this tip works well for you! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing ❤
I thought I was the only one that does this 😂
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
I put a capful of AC Vinegar ( with the Mother ) in my dogs drinking water daily, they never scratch now.
Hi Carol,
Thanks for your message and for watching! We appreciate your comment.
Do u shake the vinegar with the mother?
@@sandyshephard4571 I read NO
interesting.
With Mother?
We started feeding our 2 puppies raw food when we adopted a rescued dog that was heartworm positive. We didn’t want to use the traditional poisonous treatment. We did use the heartworm meds and a raw diet. In 6 months she was free of heartworms.
You didn't want to use the traditional poisonous treatment but " we did use the heartworm meds " . Uhm . . . . ?
@@patriciadupree3636 the heartworm med was ivermectin which is very safe for killing off the baby heartworms. The traditional treatment for killing the adult worms is not as safe. There are side effects and you have to keep your dog in a crate for months. So after talking to our vet and the holistic vet we went w/ the safer options. 😊 I hope I explained it well.
@@honeytoone8610 I use food grade Diatomaceous earth daily in food for myself and pets. There is plenty of information on Wolf - creek - ranch - Organics. Namaste 🙏
I wish our criminal Government would allow us to have Ivermectin. !
@@tumbleweeduk7479 I need to use that for fleas and ticks. We have chickens so we don’t have a big problem with fleas. We do have ticks as we live out in the country. I did not know it helped w/ parasites. Well, I guess I did bc I put it in my chickens food. I just didn’t think of giving it to the dogs. Ty.
Hey guys these are some of the things I picked up from the video not in any particular order:
*Shampooing
*Detoxing
*Use Light colured T-shirts to spot ticks when walking your dog
* Garlic as immune builder and repellant: use 1/4 tsp Freshly ground Garlic in food 15 mins b4 feeding for 15 pound dogs
*Supporting environment
Di..tmus earth
Apple Cider vinegar
Essential oils
Plants as natural repellant...rosemary, catnip, lemongrass sage
Garlic will kill you cat
Thanks for saving me several minutes!
How do you spot them with a shirt?
Yes, how to use the tee shirt? Tshirts dont really fit my dog... (?) Thx
@@rejuvinatez347 she mentioned that it cuts down on how much body is exposed to the flea/tick. I know in the house if you have fleas, they will jump on white socks, so I don’t know about using white T shirts. They would be easier to see.
When I go horseback riding and the Deer Flies, Black Flies, Gnats and mosquitoes are terrible, I look for or bring with freshly picked Catnip plants! I crush up and mangle the whole plant in my hands then wipe the plant and my hands all over my horses heads and special areas where these bugs love to bite! Chest, groin, under jaws and even myself! When I do THIS to protect my barn cats, you have to do it FAST because they get SO HIGH and playful, they can get crazed and wild! I've been accidentally bitten, so go fast on cats! If you put it on dogs...cats will love them but the flying, biting pests leave them alone. Catnip grows wild and really fast! Try transplanting some in your gardens, too!
VERY INFORMATIVE! thank you so much for posting this! I just had to take my best buddy of 13 years for her last ride to the vet on 1/6/22 . She was diagnosed with advanced stage lymphoma. I firmly believe that this was in a large part due to Sorresto collars which was making her vomit then her vet prescribed sympirica. I feel so guilty now that I thought I was doing what was best for her. I have been doing some research. I have changed my other 2 dogs diet and will never again use conventional flea and tick treatments!! I have since fired my vet and found another one that specializes in natural medicine.
Our pup was prescribed Simparica and a few weeks later he started throwing up and returned to the vet and he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Our pup has mostly been fed nutritious homemade foods and treats and an occasional brand treat. We are devastated and thankful he is still with us but now I make safe flea spray.
@Barbara Boix I think I might have to echo that .
@@wandanichols1187 Would love to know the formula of your flea spray please if you would PM me. Our last vet did the same and I don't want our dogs to go through that.
So sorry for the loss of your buddy♥️. I lost my precious toy fox terrier, Lila, who was only 9 years old. My vet’s office recommended the Sorresto collar for her and she had a seizure in the middle of the night that required me to drive 30 miles, with her screaming the entire way, to an emergency vet. They stabilized her and sent her home the next day. $1,300 for that visit. She never fully recovered; was walking into walls and just falling down. She had a second seizure 3 days later and was euthanized at my vet’s office. NONE of those involved with her care wanted to hear about that flea collar and denied any possibility of it being the cause. I told a friend what had transpired and he said their cat had the same thing happen about 2 weeks after they put a Sorresto collar on her!
After taking all my animals to vet, they were all dead within 6 weeks! NEVER AGAIN !
Really got me questioning the pharma co./ pet foods industry.
HOLISTIC is only way.
Pet ownership has turned into a privilege that the average person has priced out of these days.
It has become an industry of it's own to only keep them healthy and alive. Lucky for the dogs who's owners understand it is their duty to know or take the time to educate themselves about the many needs of their pets, apart from having the funds, of course.
@@Gabrielle937 A person has the duty to not have a pet that they can not take care of. Those that need a pet for psychological needs, will have to receive assistance for pet healthcare.
@@hollitheexaltedempress6957 Absolutely, agree on both points. However, if one wants the best for their pet, BARF in place of kibble, vitamins, oils, supplements, holistic health care, natural in place of toxic etc. sadly it often falls out of many people's knowledge and financial capabilities. It is no longer a question of affording to own a pet, rather keeping it alive and that can be expensive. I am in the pet industry and owner of three dogs, the above is my observation only.
@@hollitheexaltedempress6957except through the years your financial situation can change drastically. I had a cat for 18 1/2 years. A lot can change in that time!😢
@@beckyg8028thank you. Only the well off should be able to have pets is bull.. we live in a very successful society, people claim to love pets will donate to no kill shelters to keep animals in cages instead I would love and caring owners have been society in hole because people are more well-adjusted losing a pet or having to give up and Pat can be devastating lose your will to live should be forced to make that decision. One guy States like what a big industry the pet Care in supply has become makes billions then states that it's irresponsible for people have a pet if they can't afford I think about old people and children can't experience the joy of having a pet what a cold cruel world that these people want to live in everything's about the bottom line. Healthy society cares for the less fortunate. Decrease better society world for their children to grow up in.
Frontline almost killed my chihuahua. That was the first and last time I treated her. I called the Merck company and they seemed not to care. Now my puppy is healthy. No more vaccines or pharmaceutical products. Thank you for your videos. I will try some of the recipes. 💕😊
25:06 is where she gives the recipe
Thanks. I still don't understand all the ingredients she mentioned.
Don't forget to grow loads of cat nip outdoors,its beautiful good for all nectar eaters,cats and ferrets go all funny and intoxicated if a small bunch is gently crushed and given to them, my cats lie and sleep on cat nip patches,i also dry some and put in the areas of the house they sleep in amongst their bedding too.Its also good to burn as insence to repell mosquitoes,spiders and other insects.WARNING !!!!Burning dried catnip can cause happyness,relaxed,chilled out and restful sleep syndrome for people,but only homegrown seems to work for us all and i have never had fleas or ticks either.
Good tips! I’ll get some catnip plants and place them in various places on my property.
I grow tons of catnip. It's easy to grow outside or inside
😂😂😂❤❤❤
I had to think about this, when giving my dog a pill, and 30 minutes later the fleas and ticks begin to die. What do you think that is doing to the inside of your pet. There has to be some bad toxic poisoning going on. I said no to the toxic stuff. And do all natural. Thank you for sharing this video. It confirms everything I have felt about the over-the-counter stuff.
Thanks for your message Stephanie. We appreciate you watching and wanting the best for your pets!
Would like to know what you use please. Don't want our dogs to go through chemical stuff. 🐶🐺
@@roncoleman6693 I have a mixture of salt and baking soda, I mix equal parts. I sprinkle it under my dog beds. Then I make my own shampoo. I mix 5 table spoons of Castile soap, in a half gallon bottle, 3 cups of distilled water, 6 drops of lavender, 6 drops of lemon grass , 6 drops of cedar oil , all the oils are essential oils. And if your puppy has dry skin, one of mine does. I make oatmeal milk, I take 1/3 cup of oatmeal, and 2 cups of distilled water. In a pot, add the oatmeal, heat it on a low temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes. Don't let it boil. You just want to get it warm. Then I strain it with cheesecloth. So I don't get all the oats in the bottle. Wait for it to cool off before you use it on you dog. And if it's to thick, you can add distilled water to that mixture.
@@roncoleman6693 oh I forgot to tell you, if you do the salt and baking soda mix, make sure to vacuum every day, and sprinkle new salt and baking soda. That has really helped me with fleas and ticks. I also take in a 4oz bottle, I fill it almost to the top with distilled water, and add 10 drops of the cedar oil. And spray their beds. It has helped me a lot with the fleas and ticks. It takes about a week to get them under control. But it's natural, there's no harsh chemicals, and toxic fumes. And everyone is safe.
@@stephaniecain2491 Thank you very much. We've lost 2 family pets due to the toxins in pet food and flea/tick meds. Appreciate you and the info. GOD Bless. 🐶🐺🙏👍
My dog developed neurological problems following use of seresto collars.
It took us 3YEARS to work out what the problem was. I wrote to Bayer and they replied that it was obvious the dog wasn't used to a collar, or that it was put on too tightly.
Laughable
I kept a diary and wrote again, asking how they explained the symptoms.
They couldn't, and eventually they gave us compensation - a very small amount though.
These big pharma companies are too big to sue.
All I really wanted was an apology and a recognition that the collar was at fault.
Hitler used to send 150 healthy Jewish woman to a scientific research company that tested their stuff on these woman ..who dies in troves. That company was Bayer.
It was 3 years you complained to pharma company? I'm surprised you kept it going so long. They don't apologize because that's an admission of wrongdoing .
Just found your channel recently. It is wonderful. I found four feral kittens and a young mother living behind a carport at my job site. I started helping them out. But the mother abandoned the kittens far too early for them to survive so my wife and I made the decision to adopt them. We already have four rescue cats and on top of that these cats are feral so they cannot be handled or around other animals. Therefore I built a massive outdoor fenced in structure the entire length of my house with a ramp that leads down into my basement that I basically turned into the forest where I found them. I insulated the floor and then brought all of the leaves and shelters I made them and sticks and branches. They basically have the same exact life with just less real estate and no dangers. My question is this. I want to protect them as much as I can from Heartworms as we live in Michigan and it is a viable threat. how do I do that with cats that I cannot touch or handle? I cannot spray in all natural flea preventative on them because they won't let me near them. Any suggestions? Please help.
Thank you for all your good work.
God Bless You Doctor !
I just gave my dog his first dose of flea and tick drops down his back and he’s not the same , he runs around at times like he’s possessed and then tries to scratch himself but can’t seem to reach the area. I know he’s allergic to it and will not give it to him again. Thank you for a great video, very informative
I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. For these situations, we always recommend a detox. Here's a free blog post on things we recommend to help your boy: thenaturalpetdoctor.com/holistic-pet-care-a-guide-to-safely-detoxing-dogs-and-cats/ We're thinking of you!
@@thenaturalpetdoctor Hello, Please can you give the dosage of garlic for cats, as you only mentioned dogs, thankyou x
Stop using that. It kills pets. Do detox.
What is the dosage for cats, please? @@thenaturalpetdoctor
We had an older dog that I put that 'drop' stuff on. It burned her. She ran around, too trying to get relief. Never again
rub them with food grade diatomaceous earth..same as with your farm animals..works like a charm, keeps them off your pets, natural, no chemicals and works as fast as 3 days..use it in your home, garden, flower beds..all over!!
I used DE everyday for weeks when I first moved to FL- did not work at all. Finally had to wash her 2x with Dawn & once with her Coconut shampoo. Put her on 1/2 dose of Nexgard, but I am just learning how bad those meds are. 😢
It doesn't make your pets itch? It's glass you know..... 🤷😼
@@ginaperry2599no, it’s even edible…just don’t want to yourself, animals to breathe it or get in eyes
I'm THRILLED to see a sincere DVM TELL THE TRUTH OVER MAKING MONEY!!❤️

This is a great video, I wish more vets were like you. My cat had a reaction to his spot on and it burned his skin. I’ve now changed to natural flea and wormer treatment.
Yes but$$$.pills pills pills. Pets & ppl. Side effects so more pills. Gotta love USA medical.(it’s not all bad,but….?.?.really have to try to figure out what to do /not do for pets & self /family)
May I ask what you use?
@@ayselkimroannekavraz3116 I’ve been lucky.The 2 female cats that found me (1 Ferrell that lived alone as far as I could tell & 1 kitten that was already fixed , I didn’t know that until I took her for her appointment..ear had healed with no scar somehow,had a tattoo too..and was left at a church across the road from our house,or wandered off & got lost .?.have both been in/out side cats,no litter box & only occasionally got a few fleas. Caught it early & with diy citrus recipes & other natural things,bath,comb,extra vacuuming ect. Able to get everything under control pretty easily. Try a few things & keep doing it for the recommend cycle..& then some.
@@ayselkimroannekavraz3116 had other cat’s & dogs a long time ago,used frontline ect ect. Didn’t seem right.felt like it was too much & might hurt them. Started reading about natural alternatives & trying them but was more difficult with more pets at inc time.

You are so welcome! I'd love to hear what you found most helpful?
@@thenaturalpetdoctor I didn't realise just how many things we can do to support our dog's health and immune system, or the methods we can use to deter parasites without having to give him pesticides. I also wasn't aware of how effective catnip essential oil can apparently be for deterring mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. I made Dr Karen Becker's repellent spray and am especially pleased that cedarwood essential oil can calm our dog *and* deter ticks and fleas. We live in a high-risk area for ticks, so vigilantly checking is still #1.
When giving the Thuja 6C, is the Boiron Thuja Occidentalis 6C ok and what would the dosage be? The container says 5 little pellets, but I feel like that would be too much for a 30 lb dog. Thank you so much for all the great info!
One of the barn cats, uncatchable, had a leather back tick on his back. So I sprinkled some lavender essential oil on the tick, straight, and it was gone from the cat in a few hours.
Hi Doc very helpful info thxx❤
Double kidney failure in a 10 year old cat named Bela. Rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this information

Good job
If you take salt and shake it along side of your baseboards in your house,the fleas will eat it,and they will explode,really works.
Great idea! I’ll start doing this on a consistent basis, though I’ve not seen any flea’s. And the ghosts don’t like it either! Salt is a powerful protector! No joke.
I thought I was the only one whose dog kept looking into space and snapping like something or someone.?
Lol
I tried it and sprinkled salt all over my house. It was saturated but the fleas didn’t die.
Does not!
Borax kills fleas. But it's toxic
to dogs. So you can sprinkle it on their bedding but don't dump on your pets.
Thank you‼️ 🌻thank you ‼️ 🌻thank you ‼️🌻
🤠🤠‼️ you are amazing …
I wish everyone would see this. I’m passing it around to friends. Very thorough 🙌🏼
I have a little cat colony in our yard and am learning as I go. ❤️🐈
This comment made my day, and I'm so happy you found our channel :)
I’m so happy I found you!! Currently have 4 dogs and 3 cats!!!! Do you work with farm animals
I'm so happy you found us too! I do not work with farm animals though (and you probably don't want me to lol), but anything dog and cat related, I'm all over it!
Back in June, I put Advecta on my senior cat and I believe I came close to losing her. Thankful to know there are good natural alternatives.
I’m so sorry to hear about your cat - side effects like this and worse are too common with many of the conventional insecticides. Thank you for wanting the best for your pets and taking time to watch this video ❤
Raw coconut oil generous applicatio on fur. Excellent for cats, dogs, chicken. They die on contact. LITTERALY!
Do u rinse??
EXCELLENT INFO. ❤THANK YOU KATI❤
You are so welcome!
I brought on a stray barn cat from a farm in PA that was EXTREMELY sick. After over a year of taking this cat in for antibiotics nothing helped. He would get better shortly, then fall back into his upper respiratory issue would come right back. I started giving him a small amount of garlic in his food, and he is FINALLY getting better. He's like a different cat.
So glad to hear that the natural approach with garlic is helping your cat.
😻💖
How much?
Thank you so much
How can we tell the good essential oils from the bad ones?
Thanks YOU…😘🙏🏻so so so much for sharing your Awesome ideas…Greatly Appreciated YOU ❤️🤩😘
Hello 👋 how are you doing???
Living in the country in Florida, lotza fleas. I have used food grade DE on her body and it did not keep fleas off my dog. Maybe it does kill them eventually, but she was crawling with them. I will try giving DE in food. DE will clog Hepa vacuum filters- FYI.
I read DE only kills the fleas but not the eggs. So, you have to do it once a week because the eggs will eventually hatch. I put it on my puppy for 2 days and gave her a bath she doesn't itch like crazy anymore, but I will continue with DE.
D.awn dishsoap
Hello! Thank you so much for this video!! Regarding the garlic-is it ok cooked or better raw? Thank you!
Raw
And you have to crush it and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, so that the allicin (the beneficial component of garlic) gets activated. If you eat garlic immediately, without exposure to air, it’s basically useless, except to flavor your dishes. The allicin is what makes garlic a super food, and allicin needs air to become super 😉.
Thank you for sharing. I'm an all natural lady, no drugs, no chemicals, etc. So I'm looking for natural remedies for the little dog I'm hoping to get soon. Thanks again.
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Thanks Doc.liked shared subscribed ect.
Thank you! We truly appreciate it!
I live in Texas so this video is very helpful I need something for my cat to prevent fleas and ticks😻😻😻
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Also Dr Bonners Eucalyptus liquid Castile soap, diluted is the best organic shampoo for dogs and cats. It kills flea's and ticks within a few minutes of being on on them, you can pour leftover water in yard. I did an experiment with ticks and Dr Bronners eucalyptus liquid Castile soap, and it works beautifully plus it's organic! I recommend it to pet owners!
My husband is allergic, to eucalyptus, so guess I’m shampooing the dogs 🤷♀️
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your message. We love to learn more about what works for other pet parents.
Here is a blog post from our website that will give you some alternatives for a hypoallergenic dog shampoo. thenaturalpetdoctor.com/how-to-treat-allergies-in-your-dog-and-cat/
Hi, Thanks for your message. I have posted a link to some alternative shampoos that may help in the previous comment.
@@esterwymanthat’s what gloves are for… hehe! Plus t a breathing mask like painters wear…😅 just saying…
Where can I buy the bronners eucalyptus soap ?
Essential salts are no longer being released in the crops as agrochemicals have killed the microorganisms that used to release salts and minerals in the soil. My cat was overgrooming and was put on a course of Ferrum Phosphate and abracadabra, the cat stopped overgrooming. As a matter of daily treatment, my cats have had water treated with sulphur block since 1981 and never get fleas or mites.
I thought I saw something regarding Wondercide not to use now? And which need oil did you mention to get?
Thanks so much
Very informative video! I have to say though...I tried the wondercide product and it has a STRONG smell. I'm sure it works, but if I find it too strong I can't imagine what my dog senses. Also having to apply that every day (which leaves her coat somewhat damp after) is a bit of a pain...
Thanks for sharing

We live outside city limits. We don’t use any toxic sprays in our yard. I care for 3 feral cats. So far, after 3 years, they are all healthy. A mom and her two kittens live in my yard. I have a fenced acre.
I have been making natural bug repel for 25 years that actually works for humans and pets... The key to essence oils working is to have bees wax in the formula... Essence oil evaporate quickly but with bees wax it seals it on the skin... Citronella works the best...

Excellent info. Thank you so much. You would likely find lectures by Barbara O'Neill (a series called From Sickness to Health), very interesting. She also describes causes of disease from a natural perspective. This is for humans but I think excellent principles for all natural life.
In the 1800's, a writer called Ellen G. White wrote: Drugs never cure disease, they simply change the form and location of the disease. I do believe these words still hold true in many cases. Her books are excellent for crazy insights into holistic health, like her book: Ministry of Healing, completed in 1905 or somewhere there. She had incredible wisdom regarding true causes of disease and using the laws of nature to support health.
Thank you!
Beware of this cult writer

I applied a topical flea treatment (k-9advantage). Took about a minute then the shaking started dripping from the nose and mouth. I got her into a bath asap. Took a week for her to feel better. Still have fleas. Pulled my hair out weeks ago. Help
Hello Doc,
I've watched lots of videos the last couple of days on the flea and tick repellent sprays, and yours definitely coincides with a bunch.
I thought that I would ask about other products that have popped up.
Witch Hazel
Coconut oil as a repellent, flea and Tick killer and delivery oil for the EO's
Castille soap as an emulsifier
Lavender
Cedarwood
Thanks!
Do you have a repellent for fleas on cats?
I just ordered Seresto collars for my cat & dog, right before I saw your video. Took a tick off my dog tonight. It's Nov. 23, 2021 in SC. My neighbor says this is the season for ticks, that they ride the wind. Today was very windy.
That brand Seresto is deadly to dogs and cats.
❤️🐕🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🐕❤️
I care for feral cats. Thank you!
Can you recommend a milk thistle for dogs?
How long Can I use this natural remedies on my cats 🐈
I do lightly cooked meat and or raw. The cooked I have mixed in some garlic and or AC Vinegar and they haven't picked up any ticks since. I didn't think any thing of it until I found a tick crawling up my leg. They were sticking their faces in foliage in the woods where they typically have picked up multiple ticks. I also bath them with spearmint natural soap. I also stopped vaccines last year since my boy had a very bad reaction to one of the mixed vaccines. I was told they have had issues with it in the past with bad reactions to death. I was pissed because there was no informed disclosure on it. The reaction was fairly quick as he woke me up whining in the middle of the night of the day he got the vax. He couldn't walk and was in great pain. His chest and arm was extremely swollen. I thought he was going to die. I'm calm in these situations but this boy means a lot to me so I was a bit frantic, out of character. Within a month he had a lump appear on his chest. Went back and they said it's a lipoma and it wasn't from the vax reaction. I'm not convinced it wasn't caused by the toxic vax since he's 5 and we eat healthy as well as very active. We haven't been back since.
I don't trust the vet or medical doctor profession anymore. They've been compromised by $$
My late dog Noah had seizures after giving him Revolution. I stopped using any of the flea and tick preventatives with him and my other dog an use Brewers Yeast instead. No fleas and what ticks they got I was able to prevent with Rose Geranium oil or Wondercide.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry to hear of Noah. Thanks also for watching, It's also great to learn what pet parents are using and finding helpful and the lessons learned.
Do you put the yeast in the food ? How is it used?
@@graphicallydeb9897yes put it in the food
Any hot spot remedies please? Bosch in 4 yrs old IV tried organic shampoos
We put diametacious earth on our farm cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and we eat it in banana & spinach drinks in the morning to detoxify our bodies. We always apply DE outside and then work it In really well with their combs. They shake off the excess……..
What’s your opinion on trifexis?
what is the best dog and cat food we can buy at a store. please
I brush my pack ,even cats ,with un little bit of natural coconut oil
The"grease" on their hair stop bugs on them
Where do you get natural coconut oil n do the fleas die??
@@H4me7215dans l'océan Indien où je réside
Il faut en mettre TRÈS TRÈS peu dans vos mains ou bien sur la brosse ; vous passez sur vos animaux
Il ne faut pas que le pelage soit gras non plus.
Les "bugs"ne peuvent ni grimper ,ni pondre car le poil huilé les empêchera de s'installer
Pour les chats a renouveler tous les semaines car ils se toilettent.
Je faisais cela aussi quand j'étais enfant dans ma propre chevelure épaisse : je n'ai JAMAIS attrapé de poux !👍
Pour les purger: feuilles tendres de papayes vertes en tisane bien infusée ; selon le poids
26kg: 2 cuillère à soupe/ mois
De 2/4k: 1 C a café/ mois
Ça fait+ de 19 ans et je n'ai aucun problème de parasites ,( puisque l'une des chiennes a 19 ans et se porte comme un charme : jamais malade )
Totally love i that vets are speaking out for alternative herbal /natural remedies......At last. !!!!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed your prsentation. Regards,
Thanks so much for your kind words and for being a part of this important movement!
I’m really conflicted because my dog already has had a bad reaction to tick meds. we live in a high tick area nexguard makes her very sick
Can you actually mix a little honey with dry cat food or wet cat food to help during flea season?
My dog runs up and down the passage during the day and especially at night. He is so calm before. He used to sleep thru the night before. His unusual behaviour is really getting to me.
I have also been told by a veterinarian not to use peppermint essential oil on them also neem oil is what we get for our trees to spray them to keep the bugs off so I can understand some of that but is that going to be harmful in the long run and what's the difference between the time we buy to spray on the trees and bushes then the one that we get for the the dogs
Your dog will never have flees if you sprinkle natural 20 Mule Team Borax in the area they spend most of their time laying down. It's completely harmless and it does'nt let flea eggs hatch. I dont know about ticks,but after I started using that ,My dogs never got ticks either. CHEAP FIX THAT WORKS.
Good tips!
Thanks!
What if the dog eats the borax?
@@sandyshephard4571 They are people that eat that stuff, and they swear by it.
No, Borax is not safe to ingest. Yes it kills ants and cockroaches because they eat it. It is not safe. Do not feed it to a cat, dog, ferret human etc… Are you confusing it with starch?
Yes, I use them and they are expensive. I would like to more about natural remedies
Also, if you could show the process of using the product for the cat and the dog before you go out the door and when you return, that would help cement the process. I was wondering if I could just make some catnip tea and spray that on my cat? can I give my cat a little bit of garlic safely?
So interesting, a cat rescuer once advised me street cats that were rescued in areas that were fed by the locals leftovers which had garlic and herbs from an Arabic diet never had the cat flu and were not infested with fleas. However, the cats that were fed kibble by locals were unhealthy and infested with fleas. So there you go feed your animals home made food and they will last a long time hopefully.
Yes!!! Cats are amazing at self-selecting what their bodies need to. Thanks for being here and leaving a comment❤
I ferment garlic with honey as a way to preserve so I have less waste. Is this benefisial for dogs?
Is there a brand of neem oil you recommend ?
What do you recommend for paralysis ticks? As these ticks kills dogs in Australia every week
Can I use this stuff on possums?
Where do we sign up for your club
Thank you… I was just about to start Nexguard knowing possibility of seizures side affect. The vet said very minimal possibilities, which is already too much, how can we know?
Thank you again!
Hi, Thanks for your message. I'm glad you found this helpful.
Here is a blog post from our website that you may also find helpful for fleas and ticks. thenaturalpetdoctor.com/5-natural-remedies-to-prevent-fleas-and-ticks/
Don't use any ingestibules or poisons o. Your animals. My 11 year old springer spaniel got cancer after using nextguard spectra and 20 thousand dollars in surgery and vet bills. He is on cbd oil now and other supplements and cancer has not returned.
prices please
Coconut oil works guys! : )
Yes it does!
The pure one, check the ingredients!!!
How do you use it to get rid of fleas on cats?
I love using coconut oil.
@@jthor3097 I mix melted coconut with a little water so they don't get too oily 😁 and give them a full on individual massage ☺️ with it!
@@miar600
Thank you. It’s worth a try. 👍🏻😁
Can you use the spices in your house
I have 3 weeks old kittens and nursing mother cat.what can use for getting rid of fleas
What can I use if my 15lbs dog has goowy eye mucus constantly? Thank you
Thank you for educating me. I appreciate non-pharmaceutical options. I've been home cooking for my dogs and cat for years and notice more folks are opting for home cooking and raw meals. I wish you could be my pet's vet.
There are some Facebook groups regarding the toxicity, and what has happened to our companion animals using these products as the Director of a rescue we have, unfortunately had to use these products to clear dogs have fleas and ticks and mange, but I try to use them sparingly, and only when absolutely necessary, and I even tell some of my adopters who live in really bad flea and tick areas and mosquito areas to use them every six weeks because the toxicity can build up in the liver and cause other health issues I have personally read the clinical reports on these things and it’s a bit disturbing to see the hundreds of reactions to these neurotoxins
Our Lab ,I believe got Lymphocytes from the Flea/Tick meds.$1700 Later I'm scared to death to put it on him again😢Used all you just mentioned. Now we just pray the cancer doesn't return.
Please ensure that DE is not administered in such a way that your pets may inhale - or yourself - due to its silica content. Thus for their food always mix with a sml amount of liquid or an oil such as coconut, hemp or E.V. Olive Oil; and exercise great care when/if applying to their coats.
Exactly, I think i killed my dog with DE 😔
It's heartbreaking to hear, medical errors happen, I'm very sorry for your loss, I hope you're able to eventually get another pet, the past is the past and can't be changed. Don't punish yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and lessons can be learned.
@@staciross7888 💗 Love enfolding you. You were trying to do your best for your Love. And quite possibly ill informed about it - I see so many advising to sprinkle liberally on their coats and into their food. Double check all info by carrying out your own research… about anything & everything ; ))
Use food grade DE.
@@DianneRay-pj3wu yes, definitely food grade. It still needs to be administered mindfully - inhalation is dangerous.
God bless u 6hank u for everything.
you are more than welcome! Thank you for wanting the best for your pets!
I gave my dog simparica trio and 4 hours later she had a seizure and had difficulty walking. I was afraid I was going to lose her. My 15 year old cat had a reaction to the flea medication also. I told my vet about it and he said that the flea medication couldn’t have caused a seizure. I didn’t give the flea medication to them again. I used herbs to prevent fleas and heart worms.
Hi, Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I hope this video was able to provide some additional tools and information.
