By Geraldine Dimarco


Let me guess, you are sitting down wondering what to give a dog as a pain reliever and the search engine brought you here. You must have a beloved dog and the sight of him in pain is not very high on your favorite things list-right? Friend, I know exactly what you're going through. Read on to find more about safe and very effective dog pain relievers you can use for your pets today.

Dogs do not come with the ability to talk our language, thus we will not be able to know what exactly is the source and cause of his pain. Nevertheless, you will know that your dog is suffering through obvious signs like crying or whimpering, unusual lethargy, refusal to eat and unwillingness to move. If this is your dog, restrict his movements and have him checked up by the veterinarian right away.

Your dog will have to undergo several tests to make certain the nature of his condition. A lot of times, arthritis is the reason for his pain. Other times, it is because of a food related incident, or an effect of a particular canine sickness he may be having. Know what the source of the pain is and treat it at its very root.

Vets generally prescribe non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs to animals that are in pain. NSAIDs are pretty much safe for usage, although there have been some dogs that reportedly experienced a few adverse side effects. You need to consult with the vet regarding the dosage and frequency of the NSAIDs, or any medication, that you will administer to your pet.

A lot of dog owners are veering towards homeopathic and holistic therapies in helping their pets live a more comfortable life. These natural products are much safer because they contain herbal essences and other natural elements in treating specific problems in the dog's internal system. Check out pet-care sites and specialty stores for the best dog pain relievers.

Aloe Vera is an excellent balm to soothe and heal wounds and cuts. Herbal remedies like St. John's wort, licorice, chamomile and feverfew aid in easing the dog's discomfort. If your dog has a flea problem, spray on some herbal blends like eucalyptus, fennel, rosemary or lavender mixed with water on their coat and bedding. Avoid the eyes, ears and nose areas when you do to avoid infection.

There may be a time when your dog will need to go through surgery or an operation. You can quicken his recovery with some helpful elements. Ledum accelerates the healing of ligaments and tendons; Bellis assuages the soreness it sometimes leaves behind; and Phosphorous eases the feeling of nausea. Again, you should never proceed in any treatment without the vet's consent.

When you understand what to give a dog as a pain reliever, you will be more relaxed in enjoying fun days with your pet. Sicknesses or infections or pain-you know what needs to be done. Keep him in a great diet and exercise and find a happy dog in your home today.
