Herbal Remedies for Your Dog’s Anxiety with Rita Hogan, the Canine Herbalist

What this episode covers

Have you ever used herbal remedies for your dog? or yourself?  If you started your day with a cup of coffee or tea, then your answer is Yes! Rita Hogan, the Canine Herbalist, has so much wisdom to share with us.  From being raised on a rural farm to running a holistic pug rescue, Rita has dedicated her life to practicing western herbal medicine for pets and people. For many of us, essential oils are a common form of herbal remedies that we’re familiar with.  But Rita shares with us why essential oils should NOT be your first choice for healing – and what to use instead. Rita also discusses her wholistic perspective on the treatment of anxiety in dogs – giving us a sample of what to expect from her new book, The Herbal Dog, which covers herbal approaches to healing  20+ common conditions in dogs. We also touch on the history of plants as medicine and the mind-boggling relationship between pharmaceutical medicines and plants.
