    PEDIALYTE FOR DEHYDRATION

    Pedialyte is marketed as a rehydration fluid for children experiencing diarrhea and/or vomiting, but this versatile product can be used for rehydration in many different circumstances, including those affecting your pets. Lower in sugar and higher in electrolytes than Gatorade and other sports drinks, Pedialyte may be a more effective rehydrating drink in a non-athletic context. (PetMD)

Can't get your dog to take a Vet. prescribed pill. Make a SMALL Peanut butter sandwich
put the pill inside and offer it to your pet. Our dog who has to take medicine daily for allergies loves it! And, a lot easier and cheaper than trying to put it into a hotdog or cheese, or crushing pills to put it in their dog food.

Garlic is toxic to dogs in certain amounts (like a whole clove, onions have the same chemical as well); I have treated my 4 Labs with Brewers Yeast with Garlic and sprinkle granulated garlic on their food (probably about 1/4 tsp. morning and night) for the past 5 years and haven't had a flea. I got tired of putting toxic chemicals on them and this combination works. I would consult your vet on the amount of both based on your dog's weight and any health issues he/she may have.

Does your dog have dry flaky skin? Skip all the drugs and give them PLAIN Vanilla Yogurt. Feed 1/2 of a small container on day one and the other half the next day. You will be amazed with results in just 24 hours. I got this from a Vet and have been giving it to my Boxers for years. Just a small container every few months keeps his coat soft and smooth and no dry skin. It has to do with the bacteria culture in Yogurt . This really works!
