A growing number of dog owners are looking towards natural remedies to provide additional support to their canine companions' overall health and wellness. From calming anxious dogs to aiding digestion, and boosting their nutrient intake, the world of herbal medicine offers an array of potential benefits. In this article, we'll delve into the power of three common herbs: Chamomile, Ginger, and Parsley.

How to Add Herbs to Your Dog’s Food

Adding herbal remedies to your dog’s daily routine can be as easy as simply sprinkling in a gram or two of an herb into your dog’s food bowl along with their meal. Some dogs may be pickier about the flavor of their meal, so you may have to get creative by hiding herbs inside of a treat or “pill pocket” to get them to take it. I’ve also heard of some of my colleagues having their dog do a few tricks and giving a treat first, then a pill containing the herbal remedy, then another treat. That way they have the flavor of the first treat in their mouth still when they get the herbal capsule. You know your dog best, so I recommend trying a few different methods of trying to get herbs into your pet to see what works for you.

Remember: Every Dog is Unique

As with all dietary changes, it's important to introduce these herbs gradually into your dog's diet and observe their reactions. Each dog is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. These herbs should not replace any current medications or treatments unless advised by a professional. Always consult with your vet about any changes in your pet's diet or routine.
