69 detailed pet herb profiles with species-specific safety ratings, weight-based dosing, and administration guides.
Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
A gentle carminative herb for gas, bloating, and appetite stimulation. Safe for dogs and often accepted readily due to its mild licorice-like flavor.
Horsetail
Equisetum arvense
Silica-rich ancient plant used for connective tissue support, urinary health, and coat/hoof quality; species selection critical due to toxic relative Equisetum palustre.
Mullein
Verbascum thapsus
A gentle respiratory herb used for coughs, bronchial issues, and ear infections (as flower-infused oil). Safe and soothing for the lungs.
Red Clover
Trifolium pratense
Classic lymphatic and alterative herb rich in isoflavones that supports skin, glands, and gentle detoxification. Mild phytoestrogen activity makes it a key adjunct in chronic skin and lymph nodular conditions.
Self Heal
Prunella vulgaris
Gentle antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing mint-family herb used traditionally as "heal-all" for oral sores, minor wounds, herpesvirus flares, and mild lymphatic swelling.
Skullcap
Scutellaria lateriflora
A nervine herb for anxiety and nervous tension. Calmer acting than valerian with less risk of paradoxical excitability. Good for dogs with chronic stress or nervousness.
Yellow Dock
Rumex crispus
Gentle laxative and liver alterative rich in iron and anthraquinones; supports anemia, sluggish bowels, and skin conditions. Oxalate content limits use in some species.
