Exploring Herbal Wellness for Dogs: A Natural Approach to Canine Health

As interest in natural and holistic wellness grows, many pet owners are seeking gentle, plant-based ways to support their dogs’ physical and emotional well-being. Herbal medicine, long valued in human healthcare, is now gaining recognition in the canine world—and for good reason. Herbs can offer powerful support for digestion, stress, inflammation, immune health, and more—when used correctly and intentionally.

To help dog lovers better understand how herbs can be safely and effectively used, we’re excited to host a unique educational event: Sniff, Sip & Learn: An Herbal Dog Day Out, featuring renowned Canine Herbalist Rita Hogan.

What to Expect:
This engaging experience will include an in-depth talk with Rita Hogan, who will share her extensive knowledge of herbal medicine and how it applies specifically to dogs. Participants will learn about individual herbs, their energetic properties, proper application, and how to assess which herbs may best support their dog’s specific needs.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, skin irritations, digestive concerns, or simply want to enhance your dog’s overall vitality, this event will offer valuable guidance on working with herbs safely and effectively.

More Than a Seminar—A Celebration of Dogs and Nature
Hosted at Urban Dog Bar, this event combines education with community. Dogs are welcome to enjoy the off-leash play space while humans can sip craft beverages, enjoy food, and engage with fellow dog lovers. Rita will also be signing copies of her new book, which is included with each ticket purchased.

Event Highlights:

• Herbal wellness talk with Rita Hogan

• Mini dog communication webinar (the evening before) with hands-on guidance the last 30 minutes of event.
