Dogs Are Individuals

187: This week, I’m breaking down my five-step framework for supporting your dog’s organ health with herbs. We’re talking about the nervous system, lymphatic system, liver, digestion, and creating a protocol based on your individual dog. I’m also sharing why herbal protocols should change with the seasons and why you shouldn’t give your dog the same supplements forever.

186: As we transition from summer into fall, our dogs can experience subtle changes in their bodies and overall health. In this episode, I talk about the connection between the lungs and colon, how seasonal changes can affect breathing, digestion, skin, and hydration, and what signs to watch for in your dog. I also discuss supporting dogs through the transition with moisture, diet, and herbs based on their individual needs and energetics.

185: Is all milk thistle really the same? In this episode, I talk about the difference between whole milk thistle seed and standardized milk thistle extracts, how they differ, and when you might use one over the other. I also discuss what to look for on labels, the role of milk thistle in liver support, and why it’s important to know exactly what you’re giving your dog.

184: In this short episode, I’m coming to you from SuperZoo in Las Vegas to share one of her biggest takeaways from the event. After dealing with significant back pain throughout the week, I was introduced to Tvati, a topical oil traditionally made from the inner bark of Hibiscus tiliaceus, and was surprised by my experience using it.
