The Herbal Dog – Rita Hogan (English)
The natural toolkit for owners who want to look beyond kibble and basics.
The Herbal Dog: Holistic Canine Herbalism Applications & Practice by Rita Hogan is a comprehensive, practical reference on herbs for dogs: what's safe to use, when to use them, how to dose, and what to watch out for. Think digestive, immune, skin & coat support, stress regulation, joint health, and more—with clear explanations and recipes you can use right away.
👉 Important: This book is entirely in English. No Dutch translation is available.
Why you want this book (yes, even if you already know a lot):
-
Practical how-tos, recipes and applications for daily life with your dog.
-
Clear explanation of safety, contraindications and combinations (which herbs to use/not to use).
-
Focus on prevention and holistic care: from gut health to the nervous system.
-
Written by a leading canine herbalist with years of practical experience.
What you can expect:
Instead of vague wellness talk, you get concrete tips: what a herb does in a dog's body, when to use it, how to prepare it (infusion, tincture, ointment, compress), and how much to give per dog type/weight. You'll read about herbs that help with sensitive intestines, itching, tension-related issues, recovery days/decompression, and clever combinations that complement each other. Also helpful: clear warnings about when not to use a particular herb (medication, pregnancy, specific conditions).
Who is this book for?
For owners, coaches, and (future) behavioral specialists who want to work evidence-informed with natural support. You don't need to be a herbalist; just be curious and willing to experiment safely and thoughtfully. Perfect if you have a dog with sensitivities or if you want to expand your toolkit beyond training, management, and nutrition.
