Veterinary herbal medicine has been used for centuries by cultures around the world. Not only has its traditional use proven its value, but ongoing current research shows how herbs are acting in the body.
Herbal medicine, including Western, Traditional Chinese, and Ayurvedic, looks at the individual within a holistic framework, taking into consideration mental, emotional, and physical aspects of the patient and not just the conventional diagnosis.

Herbs are beneficial for everything from dogs with chronic ear infections to cats with chronic constipation. As a stand-alone therapy or integrated with conventional medicine, herbs treat gastrointestinal, behavioral, endocrine, musculoskeletal, neurological, and dermatological conditions, as well as preventative medicine.
Herbal medicine goes beyond simply replacing conventional medicine with "natural" remedies. Veterinary herbal medicine looks at the patient in an entirely different way, while remembering that the body has the ability to heal itself and sometimes needs some extra tools to help it do so. The role of the herbalist in the healing process is to consider a whole patient and implement changes including diet, herbs, and supplementation. These changes help to foster an increased state of balance and health - thus maximizing the body's self-healing capabilities.
THE OVERALL GOAL IS TO ENHANCE HEALTH AND PREVENT DISEASE, RATHER THAN JUST TREAT THE DISEASE PER SE. HERBAL MEDICINE CAN BE USED AS A SOLE THERAPY, OR INTEGRATED WITH CONVENTIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS TO CREATE A SYNERGISTIC EFFECT FOR BEST RESULTS.
