Natural Remedies for Cats

Garlic & Onions Are Toxic to Dogs & Cats
Due to this warning a tip listed above from the link that I changed is for Intestinal Parasites/worms from garlic (treat once a day for 15 day) to coconut oil (treat twice a day for a month.)

One tip I removed from the list above was for Fleas - Garlic (due to toxicity in cats & dogs.) Another tip listed in the link above that I removed was is Obesity - Garcinia Cambogia. I would maybe recommend trying a grain free diet.

Feel free to post any more useful tips that you know or tips listed above you do not agree with.

Thanks for the information. Grapes and raisins are also bad for dogs and cause kidney damage.

Hmm. One of my cats is overweight. I'll look into this. Thanks.

Great list thanks. I've been having great sucess wih propolis for my senior kitty. I'd add tumeric as an all around tonic/anti-inflamation for the seniors as well.

Food grade diamatious earth can be used for parasites in dogs and cats as well.

Avocado is poisonous to dogs and cats.

Especially the leaves of the plant. I learned that when my cat decided to trim one of my seedlings.
