Treat your ailing dog with some simple home remedies.

Taking your dog to the vet can get expensive.

Before you rack up the medical bills for your pooch, try some of these simple, natural home remedies from PetMD.

Vitamin E is great for treating your dog's dry skin. Try applying some vitamin E oil directly to your pup's skin, or adding some to his or her bath water. It can also be given orally.

Sports waters or pediatric drinks can help supply your sick pup's body with much needed fluids. Use plain yogurt to keep the good bacteria in your dog's intestines in balance, as well as to help keep yeast infections at bay.

Does your puppy have an upset tummy? Chamomile tea is recommended for colic, gas and anxiety.
