First and foremost, you as the owner must decide that the animal will benefit from herbal supplements. If you are not firm in this belief, the animal will tune into your reluctance and also become reluctant or even recalcitrant. Be kind, but have firm, gentle intentions and a no-nonsense approach. This will benefit both you and your pet.

  • Dogs & Cats. Herbal delivery can be a challenge, especially in cats and small dogs. You will have more success if you give the herbs mixed with wet or moist food when the animal is very hungry. If the animal rejects the food containing herbs, you may need to be resourceful. Try disguising the herbs in something the animal likes such as meat, canned food, peanut butter, liverwurst, cottage cheese, applesauce, flavored oil (e.g., fish), molasses, honey, etc. You may also disguise herbs by offering them in a treat. After the herbal supplement is consumed, serve the rest of the meal to make it a positive experience. Each animal is different. You may have to experiment to determine what works for your animal. Herbal loose powders can also be baked into treats, or mixed with water and made into ice cubes. If necessary, powders can be mixed with coconut oil or warm water and administered rectally. For the pickiest of patients, you can take the herbal formulas to a local pharmacy that can make it into a more palatable compound with a flavor that the animal likes, or even create a transdermal gel that is administered to the skin, following label directions. Different forms of herbal products may also help solve this issue. Tea pills (tiny round pills), capsules (in two different sizes) or dog biscuits are available for many herbal formulas, in addition to powders.
  • Horses. Sprinkle herbal powder over feed. This is generally well-accepted, but if your animal is reluctant to eat, you can try mixing the herbal powder with molasses, applesauce or maple syrup, if not contraindicated. In some cases, it may be necessary to dilute the herbs with water and tube them with a syringe, especially in acute cases. Rectal application may be a viable option.
  • Cows and Goats. Rectal application works well for cows and goats.

?What should I do if my animal has diarrhea while taking herbal supplements?

Discontinue usage immediately and do the following: 

  • For Spleen Qi Deficiency or GI sensitivity, wait 3 days and start at half dose once the diarrhea has resolved. 
  • For other situations, wait 3 days then slowly increase back to the original dosage over a period of 3 to 5 days, provided the animal is able to tolerate the herbs. 

If your animal continues to have diarrhea after you have taken these steps, contact your veterinarian.

In general, herbal products do not need refrigeration. A climate-controlled, dry, cool area (78ºF or less, with airflow) is fine for the storage of herbal products. However, it is important to avoid direct sunlight and keep the herbs in a sealed container.
