Pumpkin seeds are used fresh, raw and without salt. They have long been known as an anti-parasitic (gets rid of parasites) in humans as well as dogs. They are not poisonous and contain many valuable nutrients.
Diatomaceous Earth
Food-grade diatomaceous earth is an excellent parasitic, it isn't poisonous, and can be given for several days without problems. Use as much as 1 heaping tsp. for every five lbs. of animal weight.
Black Walnut
Black walnut is a very effective cure for intestinal parasites, but it can be poisonous if taken too often and in large amounts. It doesn't take more than a few mg per lb. for each dog.
Wormwood
This is another common herb that's often used for getting rid of parasites--but like black walnut, it can be poisonous due to a high level of tannins. Careful use of wormwood will produce the desired results, but it should not be used often.
Is It Worms?
There are many signs of worms, from bloated stomach to bloody stool or excessive coughing. Worms are a serious condition if left untreated because they soak up all of the vital nutrients a dog needs to survive. However, the signs of a worm infestation are similar to many illnesses, and some are equally lethal. Know what you're dealing with before attempting to treat it. Take a fecal sample to your veterinarian to check for worms for a very small fee.

If your puppy doesn't have a way to easily get out of the house, you will need to train her to ask to be let out to go to the toilet. It's best to do this when your puppy is young and easy to train. Once dogs get into bad habits they can be hard to change and you might find yourself cleaning up 'accidents' all over the house.<br><br> <span>1.<span> </span></span>The best idea is to buy a dog bell/ poochie bell. You can attach this to string which you should hang from your back door so that it hangs at your dog's nose level.<br><br> <span>2.<span> </span></span>Every time you go to your back door, you should shake the bell and say out loud 'go potty time' and then take your puppy outside to the toilet.<br><br> <span>3.<span> </span></span>If you keep doing this, your puppy should start to make the association between the bells and going to the toilet.<br><br> <span>4.<span> </span></span>After a week or so of doing the above steps, you can say 'go potty' but don't ring the bell. Hopefully your dog will touch the bell herself. If she does, give huge amounts of praise and hugs.<br><br> <span>5.<span> </span></span>If she doesn't touch the bell, then gently shake it yourself and repeat the phrase 'go potty time'.<br><br> <span>6.<span> </span></span>It might take a while - don't give up! Just keep repeating the steps until your dog figures out that if she wants to be let out she needs to ring the bell.<br><br> Good Luck and stay positive. Hopefully within a few days you will have a nice clean house and a well-trained puppy.
