Herbal remedies have long been effective in treating human ailments. But they can be equally as efficient in treating your dog's problems, and there is probably a garden full of them just outside your back door. But why use herbal remedies when we have modern medicine?

While modern medication has come a long way, antibiotics and a host of other drugs bring with them a world of side effects. Plus, too much use can negatively impact your dogโs health in the long term.
How to Select Herbs for Canine-friendly Remedies
โ
Select fresh-smelling and healthy-looking green leaves. You want the freshest ingredients to ensure your remedy has the optimal effect.
โ
Avoid herbs with brown leaves or with bits missing. They are past their peak and may have already been breakfast, lunch, and dinner for neighboring moths.
โ
Be sure to select herbs that havenโt been sprayed with any pesticides or herbicides. You are probably exploring the herbal remedy route to avoid giving your dog chemicals, so be sure the herbs you select are chemical-free.
โ
With dry herbs, avoid leaves that are too brittle. This is a sure sign they are too old and are lacking in their original goodness.
