The benefit of herbs for your dog
Herbs have been around for thousands of years and have powerful therapeutic properties. Through extensive research, it is now understood that ‘conventional’ medicine derived from plants.
Over the last Century, herbs have been used more to support and maintain our own good health & wellbeing and we are now choosing to include herbs and other natural remedies to support the health of our animals.
Have you noticed that your dog may forage and choose to eat different plants/herbs etc at different times? This is a process called Zoopharmacognosy or (self-selection/self-medicating) and is a natural way for your dog to support itself both physically and emotionally. In the Western world, it can be difficult for your dog to naturally find the herbs that it would select in the wild, and as such Proflax have created herbal blends for each of your dogs ailments, which they would most likely select if they had access to them.
Every herb in its natural active state is made up of dozens of unique bioactive chemicals (phyto-chemicals) and nutrients called phytonutrients which contain trace minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.
We use only the finest medicinal/practitioner grade herbal tinctures; flower, leaf or root. The herbs are macerated in either natural alcohol or vegetable glycerine (a standard procedure for herbal extraction with tinctures). This process is the best way of extracting all of the goodness out of the herb giving it the very best therapeutic effect. Dried herbs tend to lose much of their goodness and bioactive compounds due to the heating process they go through.
Herbs can be used as an integral part of a holistic approach to health as they can support an animals physical body as well as their emotional wellbeing, when selected correctly. This is a technical process and involves understanding the qualities of each herb and its actions.
All of the Proflax herbal formulas are unique; they have been formulated by experienced UK holistic vets for maximum efficacy and safety.
All of our herbal tinctures are sourced from cGMP UK licensed farms who have full accreditation. Every ingredient is full traceable and tested for quality.
Every bottle of Proflax oil you choose contains 25% unique herbal formula, all of which are different depending on what issue you are wanting to support.
Herbal remedies such as Proflax may be used alongside of medication as an integrative approach to supporting the health of your dog. However, we always recommend that you check with your own vet first if you would like to take this approach or if you have any concerns whatsoever about giving your dog herbal tinctures.
For any questions about the safety of herbs in pregnant, nursing bitches or puppies or those with specific medical ailments please refer to the FAQ section of this booklet.
“Until recently, plants were an important source of novel pharmacologically active compounds with many blockbuster drugs being derived directly or indirectly from plants. Despite the current preoccupation with synthetic chemistry as a vehicle to discover and manufacture drugs, the contribution of plants to disease treatment and prevention is still enormous. Even at the dawn of 21st century, 11% of the 252 drugs considered as basic and essential by the World Health Organisation were exclusively of flowering plant origin” - cited Prof. (Dr.) Ciddi Veeresham
Let customers speak for us
from 958 reviewsGreat product, stops the scooting really quickly.... Enjoying proflax products
IIs working wonders on my blue staff’s coat. The results after 2 months
It was working well but now it’s not now. Need she passed away
First week trying Proflax. Dogs stools have improved. Keeping fingers crossed he doesn't need to increase his many tablets that he already takes
This stuff actually really does work! I only wish I had taken a before and after photo to prove it! My frenchie is almost 5 and has environmental allergies and yeast build up! I actually never knew the dark skin on his tummy was yeast until it went away!
After giving the mini yeast bundle to my dog for the last 4 weeks he is much improved with his yeast infection. He has been suffering for a number of years and is having cytopoint injections. This has finally showed improvement in his skin and itching and his smell is improving
I did have some reservations about the smell from reading other reviews but our dog had no problems at all. I tried them before buying the Omega Calm oil, which will be my next purchase!
Great Supplement for my active gang. Helps keep them supple and looks after their bones.
I think this has been good for my dogs
Great product. Noticed a big difference in dogs breath particularly as she is elderly.
She also doesn’t refuse to eat it on her meals.
Tummy tastic was recommended to me to help with my younger dog’s upset tummy episodes. It’s a great product and I will certainly continue to use it, my dogs stools have never been so good.
I purchased the yeast bundle for 2 of my dogs, they both have food allergies and have had a flare-up, we're 2 weeks into an elimination diet with my use boy and have started him on this bundle and there's already a noticeable difference in how much he is itching, i have no doubt with more time and continued use of these products it will clear.
My little Bean is eating this with an egg and seems to settle in her stomach well. Healthy looking poos but anal glad issue not resolved as yet but early days.
I prefer to be proactive and prevent fleas and ticks on my dogs without using chemicals. The treatment from the vet only killed ticks after they latched on and fed. I had to remove them with tweezers.
It helps to calm my dog dog reactive and people reactive dog, it helps him to cope when he’s competing too
