For the last year I’ve been working with Jodie from Vet 2 Pet – she is a Holistic Vet who uses acupuncture, speciality physio to aid rehab, & nutrition. For the last year we have also been working together using herbal medicine to help your furry friends.

Our beautiful pup Zoe

Just like you….herbs can be used to help many of their ailments. I concoct a herbal tincture which can be added to their food, or use tablet or powder form if preferred – for a range of ailments.

But you can easily use fresh/dried herbs in their food too for some simple relief:

Chamomile: a bitter & relieves spasms – great for digestion;  is anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial (great as an infusion/tea to wash wounds); plus calms the nervous system.

Lavender: mood elevator & calming; antibacterial; gentle pain reliever & anti-itch (soak flowers in warm water & use as a body rinse).

Slippery Elm Powder: soothes, protects & reduces inflammation of the digestive tract (great to add 1/4tsp per 10kg dog to food) – think diarrhoea or constipation. Plus it’s nutritious with Vit A, B’s, C & K,  & calcium, magnesium & sodium.

If you’d like some help with your furry friend….give me a call & I’ll see how I can support them too!!
