1. A balanced and healthy diet is essential for your cat or dog (just like humans). If possible, be sure the diet is organic. Do not allow your cat or dog to eat onions or chocolate as they are toxic to them.
2. Ages ago dogs and cats self medicated by eating herbs out in the wild. Some beneficial herbs: Milk Thistle and Dandelion (cleanses the liver) | Astragalus and Echinacea (are immune system tonics) C-Caps by PetAlive is a popular herbal medicine that includes these herbs and more. It is known for its ability to support the immune system and maintain cell health in dogs and cats.
3. Pesticides and herbicides should not be used whenever possible. Smoking in the house is also very harmful to your pets health. So stop smoking. Why kill your pet (and kids) too?
4. Do not use plastic food and water bowls. These should be made of either stainless steel, porcelain or glass. Also, be sure to rinse them well and often. This will help you avoid leaving chemical residue behind which can be harmful to your pet and it’s immune system.
5. Your pet, as always, thrives on good exercise. Take your dog for a walk or give your cat a catnip mouse to encourage his/her fitness. Physically healthy pets are much more likely to become sick, and have stronger immune systems.
6. Before you give you pets immunizations each year be sure to talk with a holistic vet. Overuse of conventional vaccinations can cause stress to the immune system and end up giving your cat or dog negative side effects.
7. Be sure to give your pet plenty of filtered, clean water. Cats can give you trouble because they tend to be picky. Some cats only like to drink from a tap, your glass or puddles of rain.

Natural remedies can be very effective in pets, who respond well to their gentle yet effective properties. After all, animals in the wild have always instinctively made use of herbs when they need health support! This means that their bodies are perfectly adapted to respond to the therapeutic benefits of herbs. Apart from their intrinsic benefits to the respiratory system, by providing additional tonic support, home remedies may also be used to complement conventional treatment of many respiratory problems such as feline and canine asthma, colds, flu and other infections.
There are many things which can be done to naturally support respiratory health in your dog or cat:
-Use natural remedies to support respiratory and immune system health.
-Minimize the use of aerosols or at least make sure that all creatures with paws are out of the room when you use your hairspray!
-Feed a preservative and colorant free diet. A raw, unprocessed diet is the most natural option for your pet.
-Do not expose your pet to cigarette smoke. Your furry companions should not be passive smokers!
-Keep your pets fit and trim - a walk a day keeps the vet away!

If you have problems with your immune system, you are most likely to get frequent bouts of flu, cold and some of those minor infections. Antibiotics are indeed the wonder drugs that they are made out to be, but recklessness in their use is not recommended.
Your body’s immune system is the first line of defense against foreign invaders: pathogens, bacteria, viruses, parasites or anything that can potentially cause disease. The thymus, spleen, lymphatic system and tonsils are all part of this extensive network of organs, tissues and cells including white blood cells, which help in self healing. Herbs for immune system and natural foods should be made a part of your daily routine to strengthen this complex system.
It is a misnomer that antibiotics can treat and cure all viral and bacterial infections. Antibiotics do not have any affect on viruses and unnecessary administration can actually be counter productive. It can make your body immune to the drug and lead to bringing down of immunity. A natural antibiotic alternative can go a long way to help in prevent further damage that drugs can potentially cause and relieve symptoms as well.
Low immunity is either primary or acquired. Primary conditions are mostly due to a genetic predisposition. Acquired conditions of low immunity are greatly affected by eating habits, lifestyle and overuse of medication for minor ailments like common cold etc.
There is scientific evidence that a natural diet, herbal antibiotics and an active lifestyle boost your immune system health and help in avoiding simple diseases as common cold or life threatening diseases like cancer.
* Vitamin A, C and E are most essential for maintaining immune system health. A handful of almonds daily will provide you sufficient quantity of Vitamin E. guava, oranges and other citrus fruits are a natural source of Vitamin C.
* Garlic is perhaps the oldest cultivated plant in the world and its history as an effective herbal antibiotic and a booster for the immune system dates back to the days when the pyramids were built. It is natural builder of white blood cells, one of the most important constituents of the immune system.
* Carrots and other red, orange and dark green vegetables contain carotenes, which are converted into Vitamin A by the liver. These are extremely helpful for protecting thymus gland. The thymus is a ductless glandular organ at the base of the neck that produces lymphocytes. It plays an important role in producing immunity and preventing atrophies due to advanced age
* Zinc is another element that is essential for immunity. The element is next only to iron in concentration in the body. Its deficiency can impact the immune system in more ways than one. It acts as a catalyst in immune responses for killing pathogens and necessary for white blood cells to perform their functions. Peanuts, peanut butter, and legumes and dark meat of chicken, beef and lamb are excellent sources of zinc.
* Six ounces of natural and fresh yogurt every day keeps the intestinal flora healthy for proper digestion. The yogurt bacteria convert the lactose in milk into lactic acid, which is perfect for maximizing calcium absorption, vaginal and bladder infections.
* Among the herbs for immune system, Echinacea and the Ayuredic herb, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) are worth mentioning for their stimulating affect on the immune system.
There is an old saying that says that whenever in doubt: go back to nature. A natural lifestyle and daily exercise coupled with fresh home cooked meals will keep many ailments at bay.
