  The Right Way to Use Comfrey for Dogs

  Jul 22, 202625 min

  180: Comfrey is one of herbalism's most beloved plants but it's also one of the most misunderstood. While it's known for supporting the healing of bones, ligaments, tendons, and skin, it deserves a healthy dose of respect. In this episode, I share how I use comfrey in my practice, why it's one of my favorite herbs for external healing, and why I'm much more cautious when it comes to internal use. We'll talk about the compounds that make comfrey controversial, when it may be appropriate to use, and the safer alternatives I often reach for instead. As always, it's about understanding the whole plant, honoring its strengths, and using it thoughtfully for the dogs we love. Topics Discussed: → Is comfrey safe for dogs? → What does comfrey help heal in dogs? → Can dogs take comfrey internally? → When should you avoid using comfrey? → What herbs are safer than comfrey?   Sponsored By: → Green Juju → Animal Essentials → Pug & Hound Apothecary Check Out Rita: → The Herbal Dog (Book) → Rita’s Instagram → Facebook Group → My Courses → My Website and Store   Produced By: Drake Peterson
