A brief overview on herbs
Why do you have to give dogs herbs?
You can always find herbs on free sale (they are sold in packages in drug stores or supermarkets). You can just open the package and strew the dog's feed with its contents. Some dogs drink cold herb tea. Given in moderate doses, herbs are easily digested and have no side effects (in some exceptional cases allergy may occur).
