Herbal Therapy
What are veterinary herbs?
Veterinary herbal medicine uses carefully selected plant-based formulas to support your pet’s
health naturally. These herbs—used alone or alongside treatments like acupuncture—can help
balance the body, strengthen organ function, and address chronic or acute conditions.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), herbal formulas are customized to
your pet’s specific pattern of imbalance, not just their symptoms.
How do herbs work?
Herbal formulas are made from combinations of leaves, roots, bark, and other natural
ingredients. These blends are designed to:
- Support the immune system
- Promote circulation and healing
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Regulate digestion, appetite, or energy
- Strengthen organ function (liver, kidney, lungs, etc.)
- Calm the nervous system
What conditions can herbal medicine help?
Herbal therapy may be recommended for:
- Arthritis and mobility issues
- Chronic pain
- Skin allergies or hot spots
- Liver or kidney support
- Anxiety and behavioral issues
- GI conditions (diarrhea, vomiting, appetite changes)
- Cough, asthma, or chronic respiratory issues
Is it safe?
Yes—when prescribed by a veterinarian trained in herbal medicine, these formulas are safe and
carefully matched to your pet’s constitution. I source only veterinary-specific, lab-tested herbs
from trusted suppliers.
How are herbs given?
Herbs come in powders, capsules, or teas. Most are easy to mix into food and well-tolerated. I’ll
guide you on the best form and dosing for your pet.
