Parasite Management for the Natural Rearing Breeder
An evidence-based guide to natural and conventional parasite care, from breeding through the puppies' new homes. Instant PDF download from your account or confirmation email, 33 pages.
Pumpkin seeds, garlic, black walnut, wormwood, diatomaceous earth, homeopathy, herbal parasite cleanses: natural rearing breeders hear about all of them. But does any of it work in dogs, and are they safe for a bitch you're about to breed, or one carrying a litter?
This ebook looks at the research behind the most common natural parasite remedies and gives you an honest answer for each one: what has been tested, what hasn't, and what is risky for pregnant dams and young puppies. It draws on veterinary studies and on respected holistic and homeopathic veterinarians, alongside more than fifty years of hands-on dog breeding.
Inside you'll find:
- Why a cleanse before breeding can't reach the larvae that matter most, and what to do instead
- An honest look at herbal cleanses, gentle herbs, grapefruit seed extract, diatomaceous earth, essential oils and homeopathy, including Cina, Narayani WORMS and nosodes
- Pumpkin seed amounts from the only study done in dogs, with an easy dose table
- How to read a "natural" dewormer label, and which ingredients to avoid
- A side-by-side table of natural remedies: what the research shows, safety for breeding dogs, and where each one fits
- Running your own fecals with a home microscope, collecting a good sample, and when to get a second opinion
- A photo guide to roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, flea tapeworm, coccidia and Giardia: what you can see, what shows up under the microscope, and why it matters in the nursery
- When conventional dewormers make sense, including a plain explanation of fenbendazole during pregnancy
- A simple stage-by-stage plan for between heats, pregnancy, the nursing litter, weaning and going home
Every claim is backed by numbered footnotes with clickable links to the original studies, so you can read the research yourself.
For breeders and puppy owners who want to rear their dogs naturally, without guessing.
