Animal Botanical Herbal Remedies and Health products for your Pet Welcome to our new retail range of Herbal preparations now readily available in your local pet store.

Designed specifically for the busy dog owner, our new range of Animal Botanicals makes it easy to incorporate herbs into your dog’s diet safely and easily. The Recipes
Animal Botanical™ uses combinations of 1:1 extracts of whole herbs that have been used in Western Herbal Medicine for thousands of years. Our range has been professionally formulated by Catherine Cox (Medical Herbalist), of McDowell

’s Herbal treatments. Catherine has been successfully supporting our canine companions and equine partners with herbal preparations for over 15 years using the Dorothy Hall system of Western Herbal Medicine. Animal Botanicals™ formulations reflect Catherine’s long standing experience as a full time animal herbal practitioner , equestrian and animal carer , assisting all kinds of dog owners to support their pets to greater health and wellbeing, naturally. The Herbs
The herbs we use are extracted in Australia to the highest standard under strict quality control to ensure that the herb extracted is the correct species, and that extraction is of the highest quality. Alcohol
The herbs are extracted into a mix of water and ethanol- these two liquids representing the pure and natural solvent that enables the highest nutritional value of the herb to be extracted. Without the alcohol, many valuable soluble nutrients and oils would be missed in the process. The small % of alcohol also acts as the preserving agent, giving Animal Botanical’s extracts and formulations a long shelf life. The liquid product is therefore pure, with no added chemical or artificial fillers and is easily and readily absorbed into the animals system. Safety
Animal Botanical’s™ herbal extracts are extremely safe. The dosages represent the smallest quantity required to achieve a positive result. The dosage can be increased tenfold if desired; however, this is not required under the Dorothy Hall system of herbal prescribing that Animal Botanical recommends.

“Our vet gave our 11-year-old Rottweiler, Jedidiah, a month or less to live after diagnosing him with Osteosarcoma. We found McDowell's through a story on line, and we began giving him the Osteosarcoma Program. It's now over four and a half months, and he's still alive and happy. The vet is very perplexed. The treatment has eliminated one fatty tumour and reduced another. I would recommend McDowell's to anyone!! Your company, concern, and products are phenomenal!” Jacquelyn

New Zealand dog diet study a wake-up call for dog nutrition

This is what we advocate 'real food for dogs'; the independent New Zealand study – only the second of its kind in the world – found the high meat diet is easier for dogs to digest, means more nutrients are able to be absorbed, and resulted in higher levels of bacteria associated with protein and fat digestion.

Dog owners can improve the wellbeing of their canine companions by serving up a high meat diet rather than the “human-like” fare favoured by many, a new study shows.

KitKat is still thriving in old age

The vets said to put him to sleep because of his age but this owner persisted, looked for healthy alternatives and now KitKat is thriving through old age!

I have a domestic short hair kitty named KitKat. He was quite the kitty in his heyday after being saved from the side of the road where he was thrown away 18 years ago. It wasn't until he was 17 that he had an accident playing with his family of dogs....as he was fleeing the game of tag with the.....

Spinal Stenosis

Thank you Nicole for sharing your wonderful success story!
'A True Miracle'
"My dog Musky suddenly collapsed one morning after several trips to the vet and x-rays he was finally diagnosed with a trapped nerve and hip dysplasia...The medication almost killed him as he was born with a heart murmur and the option of back and hip surgery wasn't really an option A friend of mine had recommended McDowell's Herbals. I am amazed at the difference in such a relatively short time. Before starting the herbal treatment he was limping, could hardly walk and wasn't able to climb any stairs. Within 3 weeks he was walking without a limp, full of life and wanting to play again, he was also able to put his front paws on our bed so i could lift him which he hadn't been able to do for several months. Now 5 weeks later he is climbing the stairs and is back to his old self."

Helen Anderson of Animal Equilibrium on behavior problems.

Yesterday's post sparked some messages about what types of natural therapies can help with behavioural problems. Most commonly Helen uses flower essence remedies and homeopathy. Both are termed vibrational remedies with homeopathy being more deeper acting and certainly Helens " go to remedies" when behaviour is presenting as a real problem for the owner and the animal himself and time is of the essence. Separation anxiety where self destructive behaviour results, would be where homeopathic remedies can really help. The remedy is selected based on the overall personality of the animal,taking into account the affinity that remedy has for a variety of mental symptoms. Usually high potency remedies are used in those situations.Tailored flower essence remedies work quite well for the puppys or animals with milder challenges, as do herbal remedies like Relax by Animal Botanical, which Helen stocks and prescribes, but these do have to be given more frequently.The use of essential oils with animals has previously resulted in quite a bit of confusion via social media as to whether their use is toxic for some animals or not. What is the most important thing when using oils is to use good therapeutic grade oils. Only a few drops are needed, and diffusing is the best option initially and then spritzer sprays can be used that are also infused with flower essences. Spray a diluted oil and essence blend into your hands and run through the coat of your animal. Flower essences and essential oils are accessible to the general public, and with some knowledge and skill you can look to help your own animals with their emotional health and wellbeing, alternatively contact Helen and a tailored remedy and /or spray will be made based on using a behavioural inventory. Want to learn more then check out when Helen is next running a workshop on flower essences or essential oils.Helen is a qualified animal homeopathy and also completed training with Dr Melissa Shelton in 2011 on the application of essential oils with equines and small animals.
