Did you know you can make a simple paw rinse to keep your dog’s feet healthy after muddy autumn walks?

A cooled infusion of thyme or rosemary works brilliantly, both are naturally antibacterial and gentle on skin. Just dip, rinse, and pat dry.

It’s one of my favourite ‘back from the park’ routines.

Autumn is arriving - the days are shorter, the air is cooler, and our dogs are busy exploring every pile of crunchy leaves. 🐾 But with the season change, you might notice:
✨ Restless nights when routines shift
✨ Muddy walks leading to sore paws
✨ Dull coats after a summer of sun

That’s where The Herbal Lore Guild comes in.

Every month, we explore one herb in depth - its folklore, the science that backs it up, a quick shopping list, and 3 safe, practical recipes you can use straight away. There's also a private Facebook group where you can share your wins.

It’s about building confidence, one herb at a time - so you always have natural, gentle options to care for your dog, whatever the season brings.

Take a look, I'm sure you'll love it!! Link in comments and bio.

Autumn is a beautiful season for long walks and crunchy leaves, but it can also be a tricky time for senior dogs. Cooler weather can stiffen joints, lower energy, and bring on little niggles that make life less comfortable.

That’s why I created 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗴’𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 - a free guide packed with gentle, safe herbs to support your golden oldie.

Inside you’ll find:
🌟 6 common senior ailments made easier with herbs
🌟 Simple ways to use them at home
🌟 Recipes to bring comfort and health back to your pooch

It’s free, practical, and designed to help you make autumn feel brighter for your senior dog. 💛

That lovely time when the air feels fresher, the crowds in the park start to thin, and the leaves crunch under our feet. Storm and Emmylou are already diving nose-first into the first piles of leaves (Emmylou with her usual clumsy enthusiasm!).

For me, September feels like a fresh start, especially as it's my birth month - a chance to slow down after summer and enjoy cosy evenings, cooler walks, and of course, spotting the first autumn herbs peeking through.

What about you? What’s your favourite thing about September with your dog?

The other night Storm was pacing up and down, restless and unable to settle. I’d checked everything - no pain, no discomfort, just a busy mind that wouldn’t switch off.

So I made him a little herbal nightcap:

✨ Brew a weak cup of chamomile tea (always caffeine-free).
✨ Let it cool completely.
✨ Add in a spoonful of skullcap (dried herb or tincture).
✨ Offer a small amount and watch the calm kick in.

Within minutes, Storm curled up and went to sleep.

Chamomile + skullcap make a wonderful team for soothing restless nights. Gentle, safe, and all-natural.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that work the best.

Oat flour (or even blitzed rolled oats) is a hero for irritated paws, insect bites or minor skin flare-ups. When Storm (my older pooch) comes in scratching or licking, I mix a spoonful of oat flour with a chilled nettle or chamomile tea to make a quick paste.

Spread it onto the itchy area, leave for 5 to 10 minutes, and rinse. It's cooling, calming, and completely lick-safe. You can even add a drop of calendula oil if the skin is broken.

Honestly, I think this homemade 'herbal calamine' works better than anything I used to buy. Bonus: it smells faintly like biscuits!!

Not every herb is safe for every dog. Dosages matter. Preparation matters. And what works for one dog may not be right for another. 🐾

That’s why I always say: 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵.
It’s the difference between using herbs with confidence and second-guessing yourself at 10pm with Google tabs open.

Inside 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱, we take the guesswork away. Every month we deep dive into one herb - exploring its folklore, the science that backs it up, plus safe recipes and tips for using it with your dog. You’ll know exactly what’s safe, how to use it, and when. 💚

If you want gentle, natural options without the overwhelm, the Guild is here for you.

This could be what you're looking for, give it a go! Link in comments.

For the past three months, I’ve been showing up here every day, sharing tips, posting, and creating resources to help you feel more confident with herbs for your dogs.

I’d love to know… have you noticed me more?

As a small business owner, every like, comment, and share makes a huge difference. They keep me visible, help me keep doing what I love, and make sure more dog mums discover gentle, natural care for their pooches.

So if you’ve enjoyed my posts, please keep engaging - it truly means the world.

And most of all… thank you. Your support has kept me going, and I appreciate it more than I can ever say.

When do the kids go back to school where you live?

My own son is 32 now (so a tad too old for school 🤭), but I’ll admit - I can’t wait for schools to go back.

Why? Because it means the park will be quiet again, and I love those peaceful walks with Storm and Emmylou. Just us, the trees, the herbs, and the feeling that the whole park belongs to us!!

When do the kids in your area go back to school, and are you looking forward to it? let me know in the comments.

For me, it’s to keep building Herby Hound HQ - creating more resources and projects (like the A to Z of Senior Dog Health Care) that help dog mums feel confident using herbs safely.

But enough about me - I’d love to know your biggest goal before the year is out. Big or small, dog-related or not, share it below.
