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.

Our CTO, Chief Treat Officer, in action
Some dogs will eat anything. Ravens won't.
He tastes, assesses, and decides—with precision, focus, and a generous dose of enthusiasm. For him, snacking is a serious business (and a bit of a sport).
Every snack he catches tells a story. About origin, quality, and care. About ingredients that are truly natural, without unnecessary additives or vague claims.
Because as Chief Treat Officer, Raven takes his job very seriously: only what is honest, sustainable and tasty makes it to the shop.
And yes, sometimes that involves a bit of chaos, crumbs, and flying candy. But that's part of it. Shop with Marley's isn't about perfection—it's about joy, conscious choices, and the confidence that what you give is good.
Our natural dog treats and sustainable products are carefully selected for dogs with taste and owners who share their conscious lifestyle. Whether it's a training treat, a hearty chew, or a responsible treat: Raven has tested (and usually approved) them all.
