Empirical Hound Digestion Support FAQ

Are these herbs safe for my dog?: Generally these herbs have been used on canine's without any side effects. However we always caution people and pet owners to understand that just like food and because herbs are classified as a food, there can always exist the possibility of a negative reaction.

If you percieve that your dog is not tolerating the herbs, the first step would be to immediately stop giving the herbs to your dog.

Then you would wait 24 hours, and if the symtoms that were concerning you still existed, you would know that it is not a herb related effect.

If the symtoms do receed then you would need to decrease the amount of herbs.

After the 24 hours, give the herbs to your dog at 1/2 the recommended dosage, if once again you noticed any negative effects, you would discontine the herbs.

Just like people PawHealer.com recommends that you always tell your doctor, or your pet's doctor any and all supplements you all may be taking!
Do these herbs work?: As an herbalist, I always have to get a little frustrated at this question. Of course they work, HOWEVER we can never be sure of the success because each dog and every person is an individual.

NOT ALL MEDICINES WORK!....For some reason we have lost our ability to be rational with respect to herbal medicine. We would not offer herbs that did not help, however we do not claim that they work 100% of the time!

We do provide you with testimonials, but logically speaking, anyone who makes a claim that herbals work 100% of the time is a quack! This holds true for people taking herbs as well as our family dog.
How do these herbs come to us?: These herbs are a powder form. They are a 5:1 concentration of raw herbs.

We offer this formula as a loose powder or for an additional charge of $10 per bottle we will encapsulate them for you.
