ARTHRITIC DOG TREATMENT

Arthritis is as painful to dogs as to people, so be careful when treating them. Having said that, however, dogs generally loved to be massaged and a dog with arthritis will both enjoy and benefit from the following treatment.

Arthritic Dog Formula

Try to get the oil on the affected joints by working through the coat and into the skin. Starting at the back, massage into the muscles in rhythmic movements working towards from the haunches . Cover the whole of the legs and also the vertebrae. don't worry about this being messy - your dog will soon lick much of the oil off but by then the correct amount of essential oil will have penetrated the skin and got into the affected tissue and bone - and by the licking it will also reach the digestive system. The cabbage-leaf method mentioned earlier will also help tremendously: Apply the leaf while it is still warm and replace after an hour, repeating several times.

Half a teaspoon of white clay in your dog's water will help absorb toxins from the intestine.
