Wild Flowers For Dogs - Delicious And Healthy

Wild flowers are known to have many good qualities. We have been using them for a very long time – whether in the kitchen, as an alternative healing method for diseases, wounds or other ailments, or for our animals. They can have a very positive effect on the organism and can be used in many different forms. Perhaps you already know these plants as an alternative healing method or through your dog’s barking? Because especially in the nutrition wild flowers for dogs are very often very popular.

Overview

Nettle – An all-rounder among the wild flowers

If we are honest, nettles are not exactly the most magnificent wild flowers. We usually find them on the edge of paths, in meadows or in our own garden. They can spread very quickly and come in the form of the large and small nettle. Because of the many small stinging hairs on the plant, we usually only remember the itching and burning pustules that appear on the skin after touching it. This of course gives it a rather bad reputation and it is therefore more of a weed. But actually there is much more to this plant. It is considered a very important medicinal plant and is often used by humans, dogs and other pets. It has many different ingredients that can have a positive effect on health problems or to keep your dog healthy. It can not only be used internally, but also for external application.

Look out!

If you are interested in Goutweed and want to use it for your dog, please take a close look at the plant. Goutweed, also known as goutweed, has some similar looking competitors. However, these are toxic to your dog. These include the spotted hemlock, the poisonous water hemlock and the hogweed. Bibernelle is also confusingly similar to goutweed. However, it is not poisonous for your dog.

Therefore, research very carefully in advance if you are not so familiar with wildflowers. You can also take pictures of the wild giant hawkweed and the other plants to avoid confusion.

These characteristics can help you to distinguish between them:

Shape of stem and leaves: The goutweed has triangular stems and triangular leaves consisting of three individual leaves. The edge of the leaves is serrated.

Smell: If you rub a few leaves in your hand, the goutweed has a light note of parsley.

With wild flowers, the correct dosage and use is important. These useful plants also contain vitamins and minerals and can have undesirable effects on the dog’s organism if used incorrectly. Especially if your dog suffers from certain diseases or needs to take medication regularly. Even female dogs, for example, should not be given everything in their food bowl during pregnancy.
