When creating the hydrogen peroxide and borax solution, make sure the mixture dissolves completely. Use this solution once a week to bathe your dog in. The mixture should include 1 to 2 tablespoons of borax for every 500 CC of 1% hydrogen peroxide. Do not wipe your dog dry after this bath but allow the solution to work its magic on the nasty mite causing mange. Do this once a week but do not do this for more than two months.

Deworm your dog at home
Garlic

When fed in moderation, garlic can boost the immune system and help fight worms and giardia. A recent scientific study found garlic to be just as effective as the veterinary dewormer, Ivermectin. (Ayaz et al, Recent Pat Antiinfect Drug Discov. 2008 Jun) Give a half clove to two cloves daily, depending on the size of your dog.

Fruits and Vegetables

Adding some of the following fresh foods to your dog’s diet can also help make his intestinal tract less attractive to worms: grated raw carrots, fennel, shredded coconut and papaya (pawpaw) .

Pumpkin Seeds

Raw, organic pumpkin seed can help prevent or expel worms. You can feed them as a treat or grind them and place them in his dish. Give a teaspoon per ten pounds of your dog’s weight.
