Some additional info/details from Dr Kangas:

Information provided by herbalist, Greg Tilford

Fennel - Relieves gastric discomfort bloating and indigestion.

Notes:
Fennel is high in vitamin C, vitaminA calcium, iron, and potassium.

Also, is an especially good nutritional adjunct for dogs w chronic indigestion that does not seem to be attributed to a specific disease.

Directions for use in dogs:
Add 1 tsp of dried fennel seeds
in 8 oz of boiling water,
steeped until cool.
Feed 2 - 4 tablespoons for each 20 lbs of dog’s body weight, or can be added to the drinking water.
A Glycerin tincture also works well and offers the convenience of a smaller dosage, especially for finicky animals. 10-20 drops perf 20lbs dog body weight

Dill
Relieves nausea and gas. Especially when issues are secondary to a sudden change in diet, or inadvertently getting into food not intended for them.

Directions for tea:
Steep 1 TBS of dill seed in 8 ounces a very hot water. Once the tea has cooled, strain it and feed 2-4 TBS, or add to drinking water or mix it with a broth to get them to drink it.
A sprinkling of ground dill seed on the food may also help symptomatic relief, but the liquid option tends to be more effective.

Digestive tonic recommendations from Animal Essentials brand:

Colon Rescue
Daily digestion
Healthy gut

And for mouth:

We had an incredibly powerful and heartfelt conversation on Pet Loss & Grief with three amazing women, Dr. Katie Kangas of Integrative Veterinary Care, Sarah Bowen, and Libby Carstensen, this past weekend.

As animal lovers, all of us know the incredible highs of experiencing the unconditional love of an animal companion, and we will all unfortunately experience this devastating loss one day.

Being prepared, expanding your understanding, and cultivating a bond with your dogs that goes beyond the physical are major steps in handing this type of loss with love and grace.

I highly recommend watching the replay of this past Sama Saturday to all of my friends and followers.
