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.
