Sometimes at Land of Holistic Pets we get asked what exactly are ‘safe’ herbs to give to dogs.
For thousands of years humans have used herbs in cooking and medicinally.
In fact there are many safe herbs which help promote and maintain health in the body and strengthen or boost the body’s own immune system.
Herbs can give relief to underlying health issues and can even sometimes help relieve acute symptoms.
It is usual to take some sort of formulation of herbs for a particular condition like cancer or arthritis. Other formulations might aid digestion or help control skin or ear problems.
Different traditions have developed their own understanding and combinations of herbs. At Land of Holistic Pets we combine the best of eastern and western herbal traditions.
The ‘safe’ herbal formulations sold through the Land of Holistic Pets shop have all been carefully selected to support specific health issues. These include:
- Herbs to support liver, kidneys, bladder and heart in dogs
