Dangerous - Home Dog Care Remedies to Avoid!

Dogs

Every so often I find myself treated to an interesting story about someone's grandma's "famous" home remedy or some culture or another's preferred unguent, balm, salve or snake oil. Though not invariably dangerous, the bulk of these cures and creams suffer from the questionable status that arises from being wholly untested.

Which is why - at best - the most we veterinarians can tell you about their use on your dog is that they're unlikely to do any harm.

Some, however, don't even deserve such detached endorsement. In fact, when you ask your vet about them, we're more likely to offer you a look of alarm consistent with the dangers some of these pseudo-medical approaches pose.
