Compresses and Ointments

Herbal compresses and topical creams can help to reduce the pain that your dog feels from a chronic condition or a surgical procedure. Hot compresses soothe irritated skin and help to reduce inflammation and swelling caused by infection.

Use natural ointments to aid in the treatment of minor wounds. Homeopathic ointments and compresses are helpful in reducing the effects of skin allergies, although these treatment methods are most effective when combined with other strategies for reducing contact with the offending allergen.
