Herbs & plants – the power of nature for dogs

Herbs & plants for a holistic treatment

Not so long ago there were no antibiotics or synthetic pharmaceuticals. Instead, illnesses and ailments were alleviated with the power of nature. Then came modern veterinary medicine and made us almost forget the wonderful effects of many herbs and plants. These natural remedies can often promote the health of our dogs in a particularly gentle manner and without side effects. They are no less effective at this. So it is all the more gratifying that more and more people are now returning to the roots of veterinary medicine and rediscovering the power of herbs and plants for their pets.
