Dog Health

As all pet owners will agree, dog health problems deserve the same attention that we give to our own health issues. Dogs face the same illnesses as we do, such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis and even depression, in addition to unique conditions such as kennel cough and heartworm.

Recent research shows that there are natural dog health care treatments that can effectively combat many of these painful conditions. Oftentimes, a combination of conventional and holistic dog health treatment is the best solution.

Like human health problems, some dog diseases, injuries and physical ailments are serious while others are not. Fortunately, the vast majority of health problems that dogs commonly experience can be successfully treated with medications, physical therapy, surgery, or other types of medical treatments.

Unfortunately, since animals can’t talk, it’s often very difficult to detect what type health problems dogs may be experiencing. We have, however, compiled the following list of common healthcare problems to help you detect and better understand possible problems that could affect your dog’s health and overall wellness.

If your dog is showing any of the symptoms that we have described for the various diseases and physical abnormalities listed below, it’s very important that you take your dog to see its vet at the earliest possible time. Early treatment will not only greatly improve your dog’s chances for a quick and complete recovery, but it could very well save your dog’s life.
