Dog owners are becoming more interested in using herbs to support their dog’s immune system to treat illness.  Most are aware of the value of Echinacea, Slippery Elm or Calendula.  Few dog owners use herbs for nutritional value however.

Herbs can pack a big nutrient punch and can be used to supplement your dog’s diet.  Most dogs find them palatable and they are inexpensive and easy to use.  Best of all, the body is better able to digest vitamins and minerals that come from plant sources as opposed to those that come from synthetic and processed sources.
