Dandelion

Dandelion offers many nutritional benefits for your pet. If your lawn is free from herbicides, chances are you may have brilliant yellow dandelions that grow there. 

Did you know that Dandelion especially, when grown organically without pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, offer a multitude of benefits?

I've added dandelion for its superior blood-cleansing benefits. Dandelion contains bitters called sesquiterpene lactones, which provide the herb’s main detoxification benefits. Although dandelion also supports liver and gall bladder detoxification, it’s especially helpful for kidney detoxification, assisting in the removal of blood-borne toxins excreted through the kidneys. Clean blood helps ensure metabolic wastes get efficiently carried away from your pet’s tissues and vital organs.
