How do I give my dog the herbal tonic?
It is easy to give dogs herbal treatments. The herbal tonics are to be given 10-20 drops in water or feed, or directly for tiny and small breeds, and 20-40 drops for medium and large dogs.

How do I administer the eye wash for dogs?
The General Eye Wash for dogs and Cataract Eye Wash for dogs are made of concentrated herbal extracts. The herbal concentrate should be diluted in water, only 3 drops to an egg cup of water.Wash the eye twice a day with the diluted wash. Drops of this can be dropped into the corner of the dog’s eye, it will spread over the eye when the dog blinks.

What information do you require to make a prescription herbal treatment for a dog?
The following questions are asked on the Checkout page and your answers will accompany your order:

  • Age or approximate age of the individual this treatment is for
  • Gender
  • Weight or approximate weight
  • Brief Summary of Current Symptoms
  • Approximate Date of Onset of the Medical Condition
  • Short Summary of Previous Health – Including Accidents and Episodes
  • Other Medicine being Taken at this Time
  • Emotional circumstances which may have also been involved in either the current or previous health episodes

Do you need a diagnosis from a Vet to make a prescription herbal treatment?
If your dog needs help with a particular condition, we recommend that you make sure he or she indeed has that condition before you order a particular herbal treatment. If however, you wish to treat your dog for general debility, or a chronic condition or very obvious symptoms, go ahead and place an order, completing it with any further information that might help Caraf fine-tune the herbal tonic for your dog.
If you are not sure which herbal treatment on our website will suit your dog’s needs best, please proceed directly to order a prescription herbal treatment for your dog by giving Caraf the information she needs to make one.

How long is a course of herbal treatment? How long does one bottle of herbal tonics last for?
A herbal treatment usually should be given for 12 weeks, after which we recommend you get back to Caraf with a progress report.

What is the recommended diet for a dog on herbal medicine?
We recommend the following diet to support natural healing in a dog: Raw muscle meat with bones (chicken thighs and drumsticks or whole carcass of rabbit or chicken), raw heart, raw liver.

To support hair, skin and nail healing in your dog, giving your dog 2 teaspoons of crushed millet & linseed made into porridge once daily as it contains the mineral silica which is an important mineral for hair, skin and nails, will help.

How does my dog benefit from the Bach Flower Remedies in your herbal treatments?
Dogs like all other animals are affected by their experiences and form habits in dealing with strssful situations. In nearly all cases, supporting the dog in dealing with stress and changing stress-based behavior helps healing from physical conditions as well as preventing relapse.
The Bach Flower remedies are dilutions from flowers that have been known to support people and animals in recovering from trauma, emotional crises and changes of life or situation. They have been used in combination with herbal extracts for decades now and will almost certainly modify your dog’s treatment with Bach flower remedies that are specific to your dog’s emotional needs.

Can your herbal treatments help my dog in fighting cancer?
Yes. Read more about treating cancer in dogs with herbal medicine.

Can I transition my dog off steroid and prescription drugs to herbal treatment?
After the first 8 weeks taking both herbal treatments and steroids, the steroid doses could be reduced by 25%, and after 2 more weeks a further 25% and after a month another 25%m and so on depending on the response.

Should you have a holistically inclined Vet who has helped others transition off steroids and other prescription drugs before, they might have helpful advice as well.

What is your ointment base for topical herbal treatments?
I use a simple aloe vera and colloidal silver gel base. The aloe is always helpful whether in repairing skin or protecting from the sun and wind, or just supporting the other herbs. The colloidal silver is a full fledged infection fighter on its own and helps the other herbs penetrate and be better received than otherwise.
