Does anyone know any home remedies for dogs who have asthma or allergies?
Joshy's baby girl asked:
i have a beagle-mix. she is about 11 years old. she has problems w/ her breathing. sometimes she has "weezing attacks" water doesnt seem to help. when she is sleeping she breathes very heavy and it seems she is having trouble breathing. she has done this for a while now, but we were living somewhere else and she didnt do it there but now that we are home again she does. she is an indoor/outdoor dog. if anyone knows what could be causing this or anything that might help, please let me know. besides of course taking her to the vet. any kind of natural remedies or medicine or something. thanks.

I don't know if this will help, but our little Shihtzu has allergy's to grass, our vet told us to give her 1/2 a Benedril twice a day. You might want to ask your Vet first as I don't know what other medications your pet may on. Good Luck

Your best bet is the vet–he or she will best know how to treat your dog's problem.

treat the dog as if it were a child…get an air purifier in the home to free the air of allergens; also, make sure your home is a smoke-free enviroment, as that can really set off the dog's asthma….also, some vets tell dog owners to buy claritin or benadryl (over-the-counter) to help their pets with their allergies….talk to your vet about that option. it sounds crazy but i've seen it all before…prozac puppies and claritin kitties!

I have a 12 yr old min pin with the same problem. The vet said to give her children's benadryl for her allergies and the coughing and wheezing is because she is overweight. Is your dog overweight? If not you need to have your dog seen by the vet because he/she may have bronchitis or something.
