Dogs Are Individuals

Today we are going to talk about mushrooms again! One thing, mushrooms are NOT herbs and they are used differently even though people tend to lump them together. When I tell you mushrooms you need to use quite a bit for therapeutic purposes, and it’s not the same protocol for herbs. Let’s talk about mushrooms!

In this episode, I’m talking all about restlessness and anxiety in dogs—something I get a lot of questions about. I’m answering a listener's question on how we can use herbs to help with things like reactivity, separation anxiety, and just general restlessness. I share some of my go-to herbs, like nettles and chamomile, that support the kidneys and nervous system, plus some tips for calming your dog's anxiety. I also talk about how we, as dog owners, need to check in with our own stress levels because our dogs pick up on our energy. And of course, we go over why I’m not a huge fan of meds like Prozac and Trazodone for behavioral issues, and why natural remedies like flower essences and calming herbs are often the way to go.
