"Pet herbs" may be considered quite a strange term however in truth
there are many herbal remedies which are great for your pets. All manner
of illness, parasites and injuries can be cured with pet herbs and you
may also save yourself many a vet bill from using such herbs. Cuts can
be simply disinfected and healing promoted by spraying a tea made from
Calendula flowers onto the injured area or alternatively you can have a
salve made with Calendula flowers. When using a salve you will need to
cover the area with a bandage as pets are likely to lick it off.

Garlic is excellent for ear infections which can be administered twice
daily in oil form. You will probably find that your pet loves this
attention especially as you massage their ears. Garlic chopped up into
your pet's food is a very good way of removing worms and other digestive
parasites.

Goldenseal or Eyebright eases infected and sore eyes of most pets

Orange oil effectively kills fleas. That might sound harsh for animal
lovers but when it's your pet's health and happiness over the life of
fleas there is certainly no contest. In addition to this, a tincture of
Yarrow will strongly discourage fleas from returning.

This next cure using pet herbs may make you laugh with the irony of it.
Foxtails are a really annoying sticky grass seed that many cats and dogs
get stuck in their paws. These can be a real nuisance as the can make
your pet's paws sore and even infected. So how can you easily remove
these pesky Foxtail seeds from your pets' paws? With a Foxtail poultice!
Simply blend up a few leaves, mix with water and administer.

Callendula helps to ease all manner of skin problems in pets. Like
humans, pets often like being massaged and a few drops of rose oil in
almond oil has a wonderful softening effect as well as the massage being
beneficial in itself.

Pets, just like humans can become agitated, stressed, and even
hyperactive. Thankfully, there are a few pet herbs like Valerian, St,
John's Wort and Chammomile that soothe your pet's nerves which can
easily be given in capsule or tablet form. Of course we're talking of
very small doses here therefore never think that your pet can take the
same amount of herbal remedy as yourself.

When using all herbal pet remedies it is first wise to consult with a
professional herbalist and your vet just to make sure that what you are
giving your pet is safe. In doing so will give you piece of mind when
administering any herbal treatments to relieve your pets illness or keep
them healthy for life.
