Why herbs are so good for pets

Herbs have a long-documented history for promoting not only the health of humans but of our four-legged friends as well. In fact, in the wild, animals instinctively seek out healing herbs when they are feeling unwell, to aid their digestive system or to fulfil a nutritional deficiency. When you see your pooch chewing a mouthful of grass, it’s exactly what they are doing too – self-medicating with the help of Mother Nature.

However, with Regal’s high-quality herbal remedies, your fur kids don’t have to rely on instinct alone! All our doggie supplements are formulated with our special 3-way herbal combination for optimal effectiveness. The herbs we use are well-known for their therapeutic benefits, and all our formulas are gentle on the body.

Glossary of Herbs

When you consider all the benefits of herbs, you’d never want your baby to go without it ever again:
  • Herbs can act as food, vitamin, and medicine – it’s like a three-in-one tonic of nourishment, nutrients, and healing!
  • Herbs boost the immune system – your fur kids’ best defence against illness and harmful bacteria
  • Many herbs pack a nutritional punch with carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins and minerals
  • Herbs play a key role in the absorption of vital nutrients, as well as the removal of nasty toxins
  • Unlike traditional pharmaceutical drugs which are created to treat a particular symptom, herbs support and enhance the body’s natural functions, without interference or destruction
