VITAMIN-RICH HERBS FOR YOUR PETS

12/26/2015

0 Comments

 
Dog owners are becoming more interested in using herbs to support their dog’s immune system to treat illness.  This is very important if you would like to keep your pet healthier.

Many are aware of the value of using echinacea for something like a cold, slippery elm for an upset stomach and calendula to soothe scratches or skin irritations.

However, few dog owners use herbs for nutritional value. Herbs can pack a big nutritional punch and can be used to supplement your dog’s diet.  Essential oils can also be helpful and they are a concentrated form of the herb or plant.

Have a dog with allergies or arthritis? Try some vitamin C in the form of chickweed or comfrey..

Or is he iron deficient and now anemic? Grab some kelp.

Is he having circulation problems? Give him some vitamin E from slippery elm.

The great thing about deriving vitamins from herbs is that the body is better able to digest and use vitamins and minerals that come from plant sources as opposed to those that come from synthetic and processed sources. Plus, they are inexpensive and easy to use.

They typically come in tablets, capsules or liquid tinctures. It’s preferable to administer them away from food if you can swing it. But if your dog isn’t game, you can mix it in with his food.

According to The Veterinarians’ Guide to Natural Remedies for Dogs by Martin Zucker, a very general rule of thumb is:

Give a 1/4 capsule/tablet (if one is the human dose) to small dogs.
Give half a capsule/tablet to medium and large dogs.
Give 4 to 8 drops of an herbal tincture twice a day (much less than the human dose).

However, if you are unfamiliar with the herb or uncomfortable with dosing yourself, consult a holistic vet.

Here is a list of some herbs you might want to try:

DISCLAIMER: I, Mary DeRoche, am not a veterinarian and do not practice medicine.  I do not diagnose, cure, heal, treat disease or otherwise prescribe medication.  I assist people in working with their animals in correcting energetic imbalances in their pet’s bio-field that assists the body to release its innate healing ability.  When the energy of the body is balanced and moving correctly, the body’s innate natural energy heals itself.  All healing is self-healing.  Animals are affected by their environment so I also include the pet owners in my work.  Animals do pick up energy from their owners.   I only recommend the use of therapeutic grade essential oils for your pets because therapeutic grade  essential oils have been tested to guarantee that they are free of synthetics, additives, toxins and any other impurities, which can result in side effects and/or inconsistent results. Essential oils and supplements are recommendations to help boost the pet’s immune system.
I recommend that clients continue to see their pet’s regular veterinarian and follow their advice and my work is a complement to regular allopathic medicine.  My spiritual energy work is not a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis or treatment for any medical or psychological condition.  For such issues, you should seek the proper licensed veterinarian.  I am a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner and a Subtle Energy Practitioner and my work is spiritually and energetically based and I believe all healing is spiritual in nature. I do not make any promises, warranties or guarantees about results of my work, or of the energy sessions.  The energy sessions help many animals but like any energy work  it might not work for everyone.  The use of essential oils, herbs and supplements is to assist the pet with balancing chakra centers for proper energy flow or chi.
