I have been introduced to the world of herbals over the past year with our rescue dog.....it is very interesting stuff.....and can compliment a behavior modification/rehabilitation plan when used correctly.....There are herbal teas you can create for everything from being used as a Calmative, to helping repel ticks and fleas, to digestive upsets....
Also aromatherapy can help too.....it's all a matter of what you believe in and how you perceive a more integrated holistic approach can balance and help achieve a healthy life.......
That being said......you have to be careful because there are ALOT of folks out there that do not know what they're doing in this particular realm......

Is there any specific condition you have in mind? Or just ailments in general?
I know I sound like a broken record :whistling: but I swear by Marina Zacharias who runs the Natural Rearing website www.naturalrearing.com I've been dealing with her for years and use her products on myself, my daughter and my dogs. One item I will never be without is the NR Herbal compound. Especially when I have dogs attending shows and also for a pregnant bitch. It helps boost their immune system, among other things. Herbs are wonderful but sometimes traditional medical care comes into play, depending on the problem. Thankfully I have a wonderful, supportive Vet for that.
Info on herbal compound:
NR HERBAL COMPOUNDS
Are composed of seven ingredients of exceptional powers. GARLIC, RUE, SAGE, THYME, EUCALYPTUS, WORMWOOD with VEGETABLE CHARCOAL. These are truly the best herbs for disease prevention and cure! Juliette de Bairacli Levy has traveled the world with her dogs, living in primitive places, with complete Immunity with the use of this formula. The Herbal Compound formula is used extensively throughout her book. She states that she could not raise her own animals safely without the help of these herbs. These tablets stimulate immunity, maintain health and promote a cure in the sick. A must if you attend shows and for the in-whelp and nursing female. Use them daily for prevention, especially before and after your animals is exposed to any public place where other animals may have been.

I was just interested in looking inot this area for general purposes. I don't have anything really specific in mind, but I don't know what all the uses are. For instance, I have had a couple of girls on thyroid lately...and what about the occasional need for pain meds ? and more....I am just looking into it. I would like to find a chart of some kind that list what herbs act on what ailments.

herbal and homeopathic remedies helped my alsatian cross as he used to have severe colitis and was on permanent medication. We now use a combination of herbs (slippery elm) and white poplar bark and the difference is that much that he is completely off prescribed medication now.
I have about 20 some books about herbs and healing. The absolute best for my furry people is " Herbs for Pets" by Mary L Wulff-Tilford and Gregory L. Tilford.
Costs $30 and I've seen it for less at half price bookstores and seminars. It's a must have for anyone wanting to get into herbs for their dogs and cats.
This book won't disappoint.

Roger and Sassy both take herbal remedies. Roger used a particular one throughout the healing of his torn cruciates. Within 2 days of starting, the pain and inflamation was under control and he was walking normal. Sassy takes them for allergies. She used to be on 1/2 of temaril tablet a day. Now she only gets 1/4 of a pill 3x a week.
I meet many people at Dr. Wens office who's dogs are being treated for anything, from allergies to cancer.

Hi
My experience with herbal therapy has been wonderful for my Newf! She had urinary incontinence after she was spayed and my vet wanted to put her on 2 different meds for the rest of her life. I decided to try a herbal remedy first and with in 4 months (I think) we saw major improvement. She had a relapse or two over the next year but small ones and I started the herbs again, seemed to do the trick. Its been close to 4 years since we've had any incontinence issues. Never used the drugs - How about that!

Until I saw this thread I had forgotten about it, but we used to use the Fading Puppy Remedy from Natural Rearing. Havent used it in quite a while. We have had trouble with Fading pups a few times in recent litters. Really no way to know if it worked or not, but we seemed to lose fewer pups when we were using it. Now that i am thinking about it, i am going to order some more.

We use a lot of herbal on our dogs and our horses. Camomile ( we grow this ourselves) is a wonderful calmer for people/dogs and horses. We use the dried flower in their feed and as a tea for us. When I had my very arthritic newf I used a multitude of herbs. One of the most helpful to her was Devils Claw. We also use this on an old horse, you can tell when you have run out and he is off it for a couple of days. I will never forgo modern medicine, but i truly believe that there are a lot of herbs out there for animal and human use. I have so many different books on it. Our vet is also very interested and he uses both Acupuncture, herbal and Bowen. Plus ordinary medicine
And not to forget rescue remedy...my forever standby for all

For pain in dogs, we are using grape seed extract. It reduces inflammation and has a multitude of other benefits. 1 - 50 mg capsule with breakfast and 1 -50mg. capsule with dinner. It was prescibed by our holisitic Vet. Go ahead-Google it.

My mother in law is very much involved in natural healing for humans, she brought up grape-seed extract for our dog to help her skin problem. It didn't really do much for my dog at the time, but I passed it on to my dad's dogs who have HORRIBLE skin problems (at first glance I thought it was manage) and they report improvement.
