Paws, Plants and Purpose

When Your Dog Becomes a Gardener

October 4th is World Animal Day, and while most pets are happy with a belly rub, some are sneakily raiding your herb garden. Ever wonder why? Because animals are natural healers – they instinctively sniff out plants that make them feel better.

Catnip, Chamomile and Canines

From cats rolling in catnip to dogs chomping on grass, pets know that plants have power. Chamomile tea can soothe a stressed pup (yes, vets use it too), and lavender oil (properly diluted) can help calm anxious fur babies. Suddenly, your garden looks less like décor and more like a pharmacy.

Paw-Approved Plants

Of course, not all plants are safe (looking at you, lilies). But safe herbs like rosemary, parsley, and basil can freshen your dog's breath and aid digestion. Basically, they're doggy breath mints that grow in pots.

A Greener Purpose

World Animal Day is about loving animals, but it's also about helping them thrive. Why not plant a pet-safe garden? You'll enjoy the greenery, and your pets get a natural boost to their wellness. Plus, it makes your backyard smell less like "dog" and more like "spa".

This World Animal Day, celebrate with paws and plants – plant something safe, brew a calming tea, and let nature do the healing. Want to know more about our wonderful pet range? Have a chat with Budley, our friendly AI Cannabot.
