A white pony with a fluffy mane inside a wooden stable.

Mulin seemed much better after the session. I believe the laminitis has improved thanks to the principles of animal self selection. He seemed much better in himself, was able to walk better, and I even caught him doing a little canter around the yard! After re-offering the medicinal plants for dogs according to his self selection sessions, his laminitis has stayed away for well over a year now through his natural herbal self medication.

Hi Vicky. He has been much the same since last time. Less jumpy but still looking for trouble while out hacking. However, this is making life much more enjoyable for me. I have now bought some barley grass and rose hips, which he is thoroughly enjoying! It's fascinating to see how he engages in animal self-selection, gravitating towards herbal self-medication with these medicinal plants for dogs. So if you see a green ghost on your travels, it’s me!!!

Three horses grazing in a lush green pasture under a partly cloudy sky.

I offered Diddy his oils for a couple of days after seeing Vicky. Diddy was happy each time to have them applied topically to his sweet itch. I believe he has been experiencing some relief from this herbal self medication approach, which aligns with the concept of animal self selection. I will continue the process using these medicinal plants for dogs, thanks so much.

Vicky came to see my horse a couple of weeks ago who has SI issues. She brought along an array of different herbs and laid them out, explaining their benefits for my horse, including aspects like pain and emotional well-being. My horse instinctively chose a willow branch, known for its pain-relieving properties, which makes sense given his back issues. Vicky was incredibly helpful in demonstrating the concept of animal self-selection and how herbal self-medication can aid in pain management. I would highly recommend her expertise, especially for those interested in using medicinal plants for dogs and other animals!

I have been picking yarrow for him since last week, and I got barley grass powder! This weekend will be a foraging adventure, exploring medicinal plants for dogs. Thank you so much! Xx I will definitely continue this process. I've noticed a change in him and want to maintain that... happy horse, happy life, less strife! It's all about animal self-selection and herbal self-medication. xx Alyson, July 23

Black dog sniffing or nibbling green plants in a garden pot.

I was amazed at how Cleo responded to the process of animal self selection. She seemed to instinctively know what she did and didn't want, which she also maintained after the session. I noticed a complete difference in her behavior; she appeared much more content and less anxious. This experience highlighted the importance of herbal self medication and how it can lead to better well-being. Definitely something I will be continuing, especially as things crop up, and to generally help with maintenance and exploring medicinal plants for dogs.

You were kind, patient, gentle, and so knowledgeable about animal self selection and herbal self medication. Your love and kindness extended to everyone, especially Teddy. I believe we all enjoyed the session very much, and I truly think it would be beneficial to others; there is too much reliance on chemical and synthetic medicine these days, especially when there are so many medicinal plants for dogs that can support their health.
