Herbs for Dogs have so much to offer in the way of therapeutic and nutritional value and provide an abundance of vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre, fatty acids and micro nutrients all in a form that the body can make use of
We are now stocking a wonderful range of Herbal Blends by Caroline Hearn of Hedgerow Hounds to help nourish and support the good health and vitality of your dog. Read more to find out what inspired her and the benefits these blends bring.
Caroline’s dogs are fortunate enough to have access to a large area of land where they are free to select chemical free grasses, herbs and seasonal berries that they require at that time. She noticed just how much they enjoyed eating the berries and rosehips and seeking out grasses and young shoots to eat on a daily basis and also how they would favour certain plants and fruit at different times of the year.
This started her thinking about the many dogs that never get the same opportunity to forage like this due to living in cities or maybe never coming off the lead and getting the chance to supplement their diet with ingredients which they must crave and be lacking.
So Caroline decided to make the organic seasonal herbal blends to add to their food and which could also be re-hydrated with hot water or made into a nutritious tea which can be poured onto the meals, blended with vegetables or used in treat recipes, so they were versatile enough to suit every dog.
Caroline uses a wide selection of organic herbs, wild plants, seeds, roots and berries to give a broad spectrum of nutrients which are all of the highest quality and from a trusted source.
Caroline’s most popular blend is Natures Bounty for the spring and summer months which contains herbs and plants to help the body repel fleas, ticks and parasites as well as improving skin and coat health.
