Canis Extra Tausendgrün Organic Herbs for BARF

Naturavetal’s choice blend of gently air-dried organic herbs for dogs provides vitamins and minerals in exactly the form employed for centuries by Nature. The vital elements in the organic blend of herbs for BARF enrich the menu and supplement a meat diet with balance, versatility and variety.

Naturavetal’s Organic Barf Herbs are gently air-dried to retain all their nutrients in the best way possible. These concentrated organic herbs are power packs for dogs, supplying the body with valuable vitamins, minerals and secondary phytochemicals. This makes them an ideal accompaniment, for example, to a spring or autumn regime, following intestinal cleansing or detoxification, for dogs preparing to shed their coats. Also for dogs that have experienced persistent deficiencies, or even simply as a nutritional boost to ensure both a species appropriate and well balanced diet.

Vitamins don’t simply buzz around in pure form on their own in herbs – they are surrounded by other substances called secondary phytochemicals used by plants. For example, growth regulators, to deter predators or microbial attack, or as colourants. Whether bitters, mucins, tannins, sulphides or essential oils – they are all eaten with the animal’s food and therefore supply much more than “only” a vitamin. Over the centuries Nature has perfected a system which is still unsurpassed today.

Unfortunately these days not everybody is able to grow herbs at home so that their dog can be provided with fresh herbs every day. Oregano, known particularly for its tannins and bitter compounds, chamomile flowers which supply flavonoids such as apigenin and coumarins, and basil, known for its high level of beta carotene – they all belong in the herb bed. Also undervalued plants often described as weeds, for example nettles, which have incredibly high levels of calcium, iron and vitamin C or dandelions, remarkable not only for the bitter compounds they contain, would warrant a bed of their own.
