A hands-on guide to holistic canine herbalism
“Even if skeptical readers don’t come away completely convinced, they’ll be enormously educated—Hogan imparts a huge amount of biological information about dogs, and does it all with an easy readability that will make quite a bit of it stick. An informative and sometimes eye-opening examination of natural remedies for helping your dog.”—Kirkus Reviews
• Teaches the tenets of holistic herbalism for the individual dog
• Presents safe, clinically proven, and effective protocols for common canine conditions, from acid reflux to allergies to itching, scratching, and yeast
• Lays out a comprehensive materia medica of canine-specific herbs, including what conditions they are good for, their energetics, internal and external use, safe dosages, and contraindications
In this comprehensive guide to holistic care for dogs, clinical canine herbalist Rita Hogan explains that by looking at dogs as individual ecosystems with unique personalities, physiology, and needs, we can select effective and personalized herbal remedies to support their constitutions and provide relief from many different ailments.
Hogan, who has spent more than two decades working with canines, uses energetic principles (cool, warm, dry, damp) to reveal how herbs are not “one size fits all” and how to find the root cause of chronic imbalances. She discusses in depth how a dog’s main organ systems work, how they are connected to each other, and why we need to understand them when choosing specific herbs and foods.
Presenting safe, clinically proven, and effective protocols for common canine conditions—from acid reflux to allergies to itching, scratching, and yeast—Hogan presents a wide variety of holistic and herbal remedies: from herbal tinctures, glycerities, and phytoembryonics to flower essences, essential oils, medicinal mushrooms, and homeopathy. Her comprehensive materia medica of canine-specific herbs that she uses in her practice details what herbs are good for which conditions and why, what types of energetics are involved, safe dosage recommendations for each herbal remedy, and when to discontinue an herb.
Allowing each of us to take a hands-on approach to our canine companions’ health and longevity, this herbal guide outlines how to help them live their best lives by our sides.

Convo with THE Canine Herbalist
I love reading this book. It feels just like having a conversation with Rita. Which, if youâve had the privilege of doing, youâd agree is equally fascinating and hilarious.Rita presents her expansive knowledge of herbs, dogs, energetics and holistic health in general in a very approachable way that keeps you thinking and wanting more.I am so excited for all pet parents to have this book as a resource to learn when we can reach for plants vs the medicine cabinet, and how to support our pets to health and longevity.

A Must-Have Book for All Dog Guardians

Must have for pet owners
This is an amazing book. Filled with so much information and explanations on herbal remedies for your dog. Itâs well written and easy to understand.
C.C. Rene –
Too much for the average person.
I am giving this book a 4 only because the ability to create these ointments and remedies is not for the average person. Most of us donât understand herbalism and therefore wouldnât have a closet full of the herbs mentioned in this book. You would need to own a herbal store to make these or be willing to spend a lot of money to stock up on them. I am a big believer in holistic healing but there are remedies for illness that donât go this deep.
