190: In this episode, I’m sharing some common mistakes herbalists can make when working with herbs for dogs. We’ll talk about why natural doesn’t always mean gentle, the importance of understanding individual plants, and why the right herb for one dog may not work for another. I’ll also discuss the risks of using too many herbs at once and why sometimes the best approach is to keep things simple.

We’re talking about the nervous system, lymphatic system, liver, digestion, and creating a protocol based on your individual dog.
