Get ready to learn all about herbs!

We have none other than the Canine Herbalist, Rita Hogan, on the show. You’ll be leaving this episode with a list of herbs to try on your dog.

Rita teaches us all about how herbs balance a dog’s body. She gives you the signs and symptoms to diagnose your dog as “cool” or “warm” and how to treat them.

We chat about:

• what a canine herbalist does
• “cooling” and “warming” herbs
• which herbs to give your warm or cool dog
• the dog treat test

Rita is the co-founder of Farm Dog Naturals - an herbal remedy company for the All-Natural dog. All of their products are plant-based and ethically-sourced ensuring the health of both dogs and the environment.
