Book summary
Blending energetics (cool/warm, dry/damp), physiology, and practical how-tos, The Herbal Dog teaches you to match herbs to the individual dog—not a one-size-fits-all protocol. You’ll learn assessment basics, organ-system insights, remedies and modalities (tinctures, glycerites, flower essences, medicinal mushrooms, phytoembryonics, essential oils, homeopathy), plus step-by-step support for common issues—from acid reflux and allergies to itching, scratching, and yeast. A substantial canine-specific materia medica helps you pick the right plant, dose it safely, and know when to stop.
