In this episode, I sit down with Rita Hogan, an incredible canine herbalist, author, and educator, to dive into the fascinating world of herbal medicine for pets. We explore her decades of experience working with herbs, her journey to becoming a canine herbalist, and the deep wisdom she’s gained from indigenous healing practices, plant energetics, and holistic pet care. This episode is packed with powerful insights on how pet parents and vets alike can bring herbal medicine into their pet care routines in a thoughtful, practical way. We also dig into the emotional and energetic connection between pets and their people—how our stress directly impacts them and how we can support both ourselves and our pets through intentional healing. If you’ve ever wondered how to support your dog with herbs at home, this episode is a must-listen.
