Try these simple alternative medicines on your cat or dog. Herbal remedies have become a very popular alternative to traditional health care for both prevention and treatment of common ailments. Pets tend to respond very well to natural forms of medication. Now, don't think that you have to run out and buy a bunch of all-natural, fancy products and creams.

I wouldn't be without cayenne powder, which most people have in their kitchens. Cayenne will even help stop the bleeding of an open wound quickly.
