or maybe a pot of basil growing by the kitchen window? Basil oregano, and marjoram are packed
with nutrition, great for human and dog health alike. Even less known but common backyard herbs
that grow as weeds can provide little known health benefits to you and your dog. With this in mind,
here's five garden homes packed with nutrition goodness that benefit your dog's health.
Basil is packed with better carotene, vitamins A, B6, C, E, and K, as well as minerals calcium,
iron, potassium, and manganese. And one teaspoon of dried basil has as much calcium as a half glass
of cow's milk. Simply pick the leaves and add to your dog's meals for an excellent source of fiber,
antioxidants, and chlorophyll to take away body odor bad breath and to alleviate constipation
and bad gas. Oregano is packed with vitamins and minerals, it's an aromatic and medicinal
plant with incredible healing properties known sensation times. It contains vitamins A, C, E,
B6, K as well as iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. And it also contains rosemaranic acid,
a powerful antioxidant. And its essential oils are anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial,
known to aid the healing of allergies, asthma, digestive problems, flu, gum disease, mange,
yeast infections, and kennel cough. And for more on oregano oil and 32 reasons oregano oil is
the must-have antibiotic replacement for dogs, click the video link in the description below.
Red clover has those little red blossoms covering patches of your local park or the backyard
and is one of nature's anti-cancer, blood purifier, and immune system enhancers.
Red clover contains beneficial isoflavones and including its phytoestrogens, red clover
is a valuable source of calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium,
thiamine, and vitamin C. Red clover helps with cleansing and purifying the blood, its antitumor
diuretic and boosts the immune system. Red clover can be used internally and externally
as a preventative measure. It comes either as dried herbs, as a tea, or uses a tincture.
Give a small pinch to a small dog, and a larger pinch to a bigger dog. If using dried herbs,
follow the guidelines on the bottle. If using as a tincture, use your dog's body weight.
The astragalus herb, a member of the pea family, has been used for thousands of years by the
chinese in herbal healing and is part of ayurvedic medicine. Astrogalus is called an adaptogen,
meaning it helps to protect your body from physical, mental, or emotional stress.
This herb will enhance your dog's immune system to more powerfully defend from diseases such as
cancer, while at the same time, helping to strengthen the digestive tract, the thyroid,
heart, lungs, kidneys, and the all-important liver. Astragalus works in similar fashion
to Echinacea by increasing the levels of certain immune cells to fight pathogens,
now on high alert, these immune defense cells will consume or kill microbial enemies, viruses,
and cancer cells. Astragalus comes in capsules and tincture form. You can use up to 10 drops of the
tincture per 10 pounds of your dog's lean body weight twice daily. Dandelion is another common
backyard weed with pretty yellow flowers. This herb is a bitter herb that helps break down fats
in the body by stimulating the digestive system and reducing inflammation. Dandelion will increase
circulation in the body and helps to heal inflamed lining of the lower and gastrointestinal system.
It's also excellent for reducing lipomas or fatty cysts on the skin by helping to remove toxins
through the kidneys and liver. You can go out and pick the young leaves and add to your dog's food
or buy a tincture of dandelion and give your dog a half drop of tincture per pound of body weight.
Edible herbs add a powerful nutritional and herbal boost to your dog's health and wellbeing,
and if you love the idea of giving your dogs herb but can't be bothered with all the fuss of picking
or growing herbs there's an awesome alternative I use daily myself and for my best friend.
It's a freeze-dried supergreens product i've been using for 20 years that from my research
over the years is the best available in the world today and something i'm happy to share
with you. These super greens, nature's powerhouse vitamin, antioxidant, immune, skeletal, liver,
enzyme and probiotic support. And supergreens are freeze dried greens that are a nutritionally
valuable food supplement that contains a huge variety of beneficial plant-based ingredients
they retain their nutritive value and they're super simple quick and easy to add to your
dog's meals and your dog's overall health gets to benefit greatly. Green Vibrance contains 74
ingredients in all. Your dog will get the health benefits of spirulina, wheatgrass juice powder,
barley grass juice powder, alfalfa sprouts powder, beaches powder, chlorella powder,
parsley leaf stem powder, carrot powder, spinach leaf powder, plus enzymes, fiber,
tonics, antioxidants, adaptogens, immune support, skeletal support, liver support, probiotics,
and other plant-based micronutrition. More importantly than reeling off beneficial plant
names known to aid dog health, these super greens and the rest of the 74 ingredients,
will provide the all-important trace nutrients missing from your dog's current diet. They do
this by providing all known nutrients with greens, vitamins, minerals, plant proteins and enzymes,
plus 25 billion CFU of probiotics from 12 strains that help feed the good flora in
your dog's digestive system. Modern pet food provides fewer nutrients despite the labeling,
the micronutrients in the super greens fill in the gaps in four main areas; digestion, immunity,
nutrition and circulation. And essentially, your dog gets a one-stop solution. Instead of buying a
dozen or more individual products plus probiotics, you get one product with them all for a fraction
of the overall cost, with the result that can lead to the following; increased energy, increased
endurance, greater clarity of mind, stronger immune system, stronger heart, stronger blood
vessels and circulation, reduced blood pressure, better skin health, better kidney function, better
blood cleansing, greater well-being, better focus, decreased joint ache, decreased joint muscle pain,
better sleep, decreased arthritis pain, better digestion, greater elimination of waste from the
body and urinary tract. The tub comes with a scoop that you'll filter level for an average human
adult of 150 pounds, so just adjust by your dog's weight. For example, a 25 pound dog equals one
6th of a scoop and a 50 pound dog would be one 3rd of a scoop and a hundred pound dog would be two
two 3rds of a scoop. And if you have a ten pound Chihuahua for example, simply add a large pinch
by hand. You can experiment with different ways to add the greens to your dog's meal.
If you feed kibbles, try adding the greens to a little yogurt or kefir and stir in an
add to the meal, as dogs generally love yogurt and kefir which is also very healthy for them.
Another way is to add to the greens to a little goat or sheep's milk in a container with a lid,
give it a good shake and pour over the kibble and again dogs generally love milk. Feed the
super greens daily, they're safe and with no known side effects. Green vibrance is the best option
for long-term economy and its quality is reflected in the price but will last a fifty pound dog six
months, and a Chihuahua, probably about two and a half years. And keep in the freezer for long-term
freshness.This really is a powerhouse convenient superfood addition to your dog's current diet
that will benefit them greatly, and i'll leave a link to the greens in the description below.
Along with the five herbs mentioned or more conveniently the freeze-dried greens,
you'll want to have a good think about how you can upgrade your dog's kibble diet without
actually having to change your dog's regular kibble diet, but by adding in certain extras
to your dog's kibble meals you can boost their diet to resolve many day-to-day health issues.
I created the Healthier Kibble Diet to help kibble feeding dog owners reclaim their dog's health
from health issues that show up from long-term feeding of kibble.
Those persistent health problems such as obesity, arthritis, allergy related skin and coat problems,
digestive complaint, hot spots, diarrhea issues, and yeast infections. And this changes things
dramatically for your dog simply by adding some essential extras your dog instinctively
knows is good to eat and cutting out the excess starches. And once added, your dog enjoys a whole
new meal time experience, feeling fuller, more sated, and begins to feel better, look better,
and act with more mental clarity, focus, and happiness. And you'll see a link to a video in
the description below explaining more about the Healthier Kibble Diet. Vitamin and mineral rich
herbs are a great idea and the super greens I discussed are a great addition to the diet.
But for much improved all-round health, supply your dog's body with a boosted Healthier Kibble
Diet to ensure your dog is getting more of the vital nutrients missing from a regular kibble-only
diet. This is a fantastic opportunity for your dog to enjoy richer health and longevity. And if you
