My 6 pound Chihuahua suffers itchy skin allergies. My vet recommended washing his feet with a baby wipe whenever he comes in from outside. Since Remi’s itching was not just on his paws, I started a nightly regimen of a full body wash up with the wipes followed by a light coating of coconut oil rubbed into his coat well so it would also reach his skin. This treatment has not only almost completely eliminated the itching but has also turned his coat from dull and dry to soft and shiny.
Yes I do that and I give him organic coconut oil
@@Sportsmom19 Organic always. Only way to make sure you aren’t putting on the same thing you’re trying to remove.
@@sandracastle42 absolutely
Thank you so much for getting common sense information out to the public, who love their pets but can't afford all the rate hikes on everything.
The vet costs are absolutely outrageous. I don't know how low income families can afford having pets. It's insane. 😢😢
@@saraswati1386And they wonder why more people do not adopt!
When its a known fact how pets lead to healthy humans mentally, they should be covered under human health insurance which reduces overall mental health expenses
Gravol is apparently Dramamine in the US! ❤
I give my small dog the kids gravol liquid for car rides, works well
Years ago when Pharmacists were caring (like you) I had seen many kittens die of diarrhea and vomiting. The Pharmacist told me to give Malox to the kittens and it worked. Sixty years ago saving animals with Malox anit-diarrhea medicine. And giving kittens baths and popping fleas off their bodies. The fleas eating kittens up. I bet you see it all. Thanks for sharing.
Pepcid has been a life changer for my 11 year old cat. She used to vomit daily, but no more. Her fur has improved greatly and she seems so much happier. Thank you ❤
I need to try that. My cat is elderly (in teens), and she throws up at least every other day. Thank you for your comment!
I have a ragdoll who vomits every single day, sometimes 2x. I will absolutely be buying pepcid.
Thank you for the Awesome information again.💖👩🏻🦳My fur baby thanks you too.🍥I now have two feral cats I somehow adopted😀
How do you get your cat to take a pill?
@@ShannaM1 Remember to eliminate the dry food too - that's what I believed created the problem in the beginning
I love this guy!! I love his book. Thank-you for being so generous with your knowledge.
Me too!!!
Tula is such a good health "model" for her fellow canine's. Dr. Jones your videos and webinar's are the best! I have learned so much from you. I haven't missed a webinar. So very informative with both dogs and cats. Thank you so much!
Dr. Jones is a GODSEND. Thank you.
My 🐈 and I thank you! ❤️
I just Love Your advise!!! I am the Pet Parent to 2 Dogs, 2 Puppies, 1 Kitten and 3 Cats!!! And try to treat them with natural methods!!! Plus now the Costs of Veterinary Care is threw the roof!!! Like everything else!!❤❤❤
Your channel has totally helped me with my pups and cats. You’ve helped me more than any vet ever has. I use the vet only for their upkeep on immunization or emergency purposes. They are very sensitive pups and would get seizures. I never got an answer from the vet that helped. Following your advice on food and acceptable snacks along with other suggestions has completely improved their quality of life and helped with the anxiety I would suffer with my babies. It’s rare now that they get a seizure. I’m a long time Patreon. I recommend your subs become Patreons to your channel! It will sooo help with the care for your pet family ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for this! As another person stated my cat has been throwing up almost routinely that started because of his age. Even after other Veterinarian advice; this was not mentioned. I ended up using Camomile sprinkled in his food. I am pleased to see a Veterinarian trying to truly help pet owners without paying thousands of dollars to try to help routine problems that humans can go to their drugstore for a remedy.❤
Thank you Dr Jones for another very useful and needed video. Of course little Tula makes for a great addition for knowing how and what to use for OTC medicines. God bless you ❤❤❤
Great advice
My brother's old cat got in a fight and had a hole about the size of a quarter (1" dia) in it's front leg, too big to stitch together (you couksee the muscle underneath). The "free" vet clinic (donations only) near him the vet recommended he gets triple antibiotic cream at the store and Preparation-H... Apparently the ingredient in the Prep-H promotes scabbing over, a few weeks with a cone on his head (to keep him from licking it and reopening g it) a nice scab formed and it was healing nicely.
God bless you💕🐈
FYI- Reactine comes in 5mg tablets, no splitting necessary. I've been using it with my cat with chronic rhinitis since your last OTC video. Love these videos! Thanks
yes, except the 10 mg or extra strength costs the same, so you get more bang for your buck ;0)
You’re a legend 👍🏻 thank you for helping us pet people ❤ I’m a subscriber 😅
how about NAC? usually only emergency or specific reasons, but the antidote to tylenol poisoning is pretty important if your house has tylenol.
Thank You!
Hey Doc, a little feedback. Earlier this year I asked for Apoquel substitute and you recommended Beta Sitosterol, works like a charm. Thank you so much! 😊
can i ask how much you give for the weight of the dog and also where did you get it, i am in canada, trying to get my dog off apoquel
@@dread6211 well,I give her one tablet with her morning food, that’s it. She’s overweight…..30/35 pds ….. it’s an easy substance to purchase online. The doc might have it…. I order from Swanson vitamins.
May da force n light be with you n animal gods bless you for enriching their lives n us owners🙏🏽🫶🏽👍🏾
Please do a video explaining glands in animals behind area that need to be drained and why?

Thank you for all the advice you give us! It’s extremely helpful!
Thanks, you’re amazing 😊
Claritin twice a day effectively manages my dog’s allergies better than anything I have tried. Waiting on no. 5.
Thank you!
Thank you soooo much for the info!!!! I just found your channel and I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Dr Jones, my 11yr old pooch's skin is finally so much better after following your advise
My vet suggested Neosporin (Sp?) for my Bengal kitty's skin when she was reacting with horrendous itching and scary seizures from various kibble brands. The dollar tree version worked just fine, after I tried it. I started feeding her tinned catfood with giblets for taurine, mixed with pumpkin puree. (Your anti-itch spray did not help at all, sadly, since I optimistically bought two). When her fur grew back and she hadn't had a seizure for several months, I gave her a serving of kibble and within hours, she seized, eliminating dry food for my girlfriend. She loves the pumpkin mixture and the cooked meat and liver I supplement with, but I wonder whether I should continue the puree.
Thanks for the info, I'm part of a briard group and they are all about health and we use whatever healthy options when available.
Thank you Dr Jones. Pepcid has helped my CKD boy a lot. Since I don't feed CKD diet I also give him porus one to help his little kidneys and your ultimate feline formula. He's doing a lot better than 3 weeks ago.
I use those things too for Luci my dog! They work good too for!
Thank you
Going to veterinarian is so expensive can’t afford anymore ,

As we are trying to stock up for ourselves woth the way things we're going today this video is worth Gold, it is very important to have these on our shelf for our pets in case we need them, Thank You very much..
I saw your other video about ear infections and recently used the Canesten on my pup and it's worked great. Next time I'll also mix with the hydrocortisone. Thanks for saving me a lot on vet visits/expenses.
Excellent video
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much 💖
Thank you for your great advice, well worth knowing in an emergency.
You are so helpful.
THANK YOU!!! So many of us have pets with allergies and worry endlessly while trying to find solutions to their misery. Your videos are so helpful.
Reactine works great for horses too

Great video, thanks
Been using Zyrtec with my latest dog and Imodium as needed on my dogs present and past - so good to have easy to find and easy to stock aids!
Thank you. Thank you thank you!!!
Will be trying that at home remedy for the ear and skin as my golden is having really bad rashes by his private area all of a sudden again and one of his ears looks infected or has yeast too. He’s suffering from hot spots on his tail as well. Poor guys going through it. Vet had given me dermavet ointment to put in his ear and it seems to be helping a little thankfully but the rashes down below look rough… also using your black tea with aspirin for his hot spots that work wonders. thank you doc!!!!
Thank u u are the best. Have two PittBulls very allergic and ears and akin terrible. Thank u
Dr. Jones you're an angel ❤ I've been using your green tea home remedy for my 11 year old pug's reoccurring ear infections for a year and a half. I fill a small syringe twice a day and her ears are nice and soft, no digging and scratching as much like she was constantly doing, and no unpleasant ear smell anymore.
Thank you so much doc.
You're welcome ❤️
I so appreciate your information
Glad to help
Invaluable info. My 15yo diabetic pup Hermie would get sick after insulin shots. So he's been on o.t.c. Pepcid (Famotidine) from 2019 to 2023. He is a 40 pnd. minibulldog and started on 10mg after each shot but our vet increased dose to 1- (cut 20mg) to get 15mg before breakfast & 1ea, 20mg @ supper (12 hours apart). Generic Reglan was also added with ea dose of Pepsid. I'd buy the 20mg Famotidine at Walmart in multi packs (cheaper) and give it to him with a pinch of cold Philadelphia creamcheese...He always thinks it's snacky time taking pills. This channel is a Godsend. Thank you!😊
You are my treasure trove of info.
Thank you for your knowledge! Would you be able to recommend the correct type of probiotics for a yeasty dog? There are so many different opinions and I haven’t had luck with any of them. Thanks again 🤗
You are a blessing
TY l will check this out👍🏼
Thank you so much for all the useful information you share. It is much appreciated I am sure by pet lovers everywhere. I am a senior retired Emerg/trauma nurse in Nova Scotia and I would love a video on what to give your pets to calm them down before storms, lightning, thunder and also wind. What with hurricanes stronger than ever our pets suffer, please help us with this dilemma. I am thanking you in advance.❤
Thank you!! I have all those OTC.
Thank you Dr. Jones! 💕💗🤟🎁💐👏🥳😎
Awesome video
Really need your advice and is there a way? Your kindness would be deeply appreciated.
You have helped me so much this year. The advice I need is too much to write out in comments.
My fur child is a senior Rottweiler/Pitt mix . The first time in his life to get sick was January this year. His doctor was out of town and a very young vet that works under him treated him. There have been problems since. Only once was his doctor in office. His doctor did call twice over this period of time … I trusted the vet who was working under him and realized in late April I should not have. Trying to figure things out (what to do) on my own. Thank you for all you do Doctor Jones. You are wonderful.
Thanks. Your magnificent ❤️
Thank you Dr Jones great information. I will look for more on cat treatments. Thanks great videos love you and yours love bernadette ❤❤❤xoxox
My Australian shepherd has the mdr 1 mutation.
Every time I see one of your videos I'm so grateful for the content and the presentation however, I would be grateful if if I left you a question out here that you can respond❤
Hello thank you so much! Is there something safe for reoccurring conjunctivitis? :)
Tqvm. Wish I saw this yesterday bcos my cat is suddenly vomitting and refuse to eat or drink. I gave her ORS fluid every 3-4 hrs and try to feed her some puree cat food. Also, the 5th OTC ear infection treatment is it suitable for cats too?
Thanks for the advice. Two of my cats have had nasal allergies for the last 4 years and none of the vet's medicines work. I have been battling with the idea of giving them my antihistamines (Cetrizine). Will try the dosage that you have advised.
You ROCK!!!!
When my dog has an pancreatitis episode, Pepcid helps so much. My vet recommended it. I also use doggie pepto. I'm too scared to give the human imodium. My other dog gets Claritin for allergies. Please make sure if doesn't have decongestant.
New to your channel, subscribed. Seeking info on clear, growing nodule on top of elder dog's head. Two vets just shrugged shoulder or said it's because she is aging. 11 yo Collie mix.
