How To Choose The Right Herbal Remedy For Dogs | Short
173: I’ve noticed so many dog parents getting overwhelmed trying to choose the “right” herbal product for their dogs…tinctures, glycerites, powders, chews… what’s actually best? In this short episode, I break down the differences between some of the most common herbal formats, how they work in the body, and why delivery method matters just as much as the herb itself.

If you’ve ever wondered why one herbal product works differently than another, this episode is for you.
