What are the best herbs for dogs for better digestion?

Spinach

It contains a lot of fiber, minerals, vitamins and carotenoids. It supports digestion and serves as a prevention of cardiovascular disorders.

However, it needs to be used judiciously, as large amounts can prevent the absorption of important minerals due to oxalic acid.

Nettle

It helps digestion and detoxification of the body. It is a great source of vitamin A, calcium and other materials such as potassium, iron, calcium or magnesium. It also acts as a catalyst to help the dog's body absorb other minerals and vitamins.

Basil

It tastes great and has antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. Dogs like it very much and it is loaded with vitamins and minerals. It contains, for example, vitamins A, B, C, E or K and minerals such as magnesium and potassium.

A sprig of parsley

Soothes the stomach. It is an excellent source of vitamins (A, C, K), minerals (iron), lycopene and carotene. It supports blood circulation and serves as a breath freshener.

Mint

It is used to soothe stomach pain, reduce gas and nausea. It has also proven itself as an aid for nausea during travel. And of course it freshens the breath.

Fennel

It serves as a prevention against stomach torsion, which is a big risk for dogs. This is an inversion of the stomach, which is extremely painful and can kill the dog within a few hours. Fennel helps prevent these problems.

Prebiotics for dogs

Yes, we mean PREbiotics, not PRObiotics. Of course, these are also important, but we will talk about them another time.
Prebiotics are indigestible substances (e.g. lactulose or fructooligosaccharides). Their purpose is to ensure that the intestinal microflora has enough nutrients and works better. It strengthens the bacteria that support the function of the large intestine in particular.
