Episode description

Herbs have been used to doctor animals for millennia, but sadly it's tough to find information on how to use them in our modern age. 

Today I'm so thrilled to be joined by Dr. Patrick Jones-- a veterinarian, naturopath, and herbalist who knows this topic inside and out. Dr. Jones sheds light on the complexities of herbal dosages, species-specific risks, and the profound impact these treatments can have on our animals from household pets to livestock.

 He packed this interview with loads of practical, actionable information and you'll walk away with tons of ideas on how to naturally treat your cows, goats, chickens, dogs, and more!
