Does anyone use herbs to help their pets?

My dog is prone to urinary tract infections. After repeatedly spending $$ on vet bills, antibiotics and prescription dog food I did a lot of research and came up with a tea that I mix into her dry kibble (a good quality no-grain variety). Crossing fingers, but so far we've gone quite a long spell without a recurring infection. Here is what I came up with, not always exactly measured, and sometimes I add other herb that are diuretic. Make into a tea - less for when she is doing well, stronger when she starts showing signs (rubbing or chewing on her rump). What I don't grow/dry myself I buy in bulk from my local co-op. It is very inexpensive (another bonus).

1 part uva ursa, marshmallow root, dandelion root
2 part nettle, chickweed, parsley, echinachea

I have made pennyroyal pillows for the areas,cage / house ,that animals lay to deter fleas.

and of course the cats love fresh catnip.

my dog sometimes chews the chives in the garden , I have read onion/garlic not good for dogs but she does it only sometimes.

My cat is crazy for wheatgrass. However as research will reveal the pros and cons of it for cats are debated. Nonetheless, a small patch of it is super easy to grow and serves as a nice treat.

I use a blend of nettle, burdock , root, goldenrod and wild blueberry leaves in a jerky to help my older dog with his eyes and itchy skin. He only gets this once a month.
When I started giving him this jerky he was having trouble seeing due to cataracts. He's able to see better and has more energy

sounds eatable

Lol it is but my dogs frown on anyone eating their treat

Mindy, how do you make your jerky? My dog is always itchy in late summer / early fall. I've taken her to the vet more than once, no sign of fleas. The only thing they come up with is perhaps an allergy of some sort but I'm not interested in trying to pin that one down (could be anything). I end up just giving her benedryl when she is distressed, but would be interested in trying an herbal solution.

First I blend the herbs to a powder because any chunky bits get spit out. Then I add a tablespoon to ground meat. Any meat will do as long as it's groun Smokey prefers chicken or turkey.
Then I use a jerky gun to make strios and dehydrate them until dried.
The goldenrod in my blend is for his allergy the nettle and burdock are for overall benefits and the wild blueberry leaves are for his eyes.
If you want I can list other herbs that help with allergies

Thanks! I think I'll try adding Frankie's UTI herbs as well as the ones you suggest. I don't have a jerky gun but assume I can just spread thin and dehydrate in the oven on low low.

Yes you can. Thickness should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
If you have a cookie press that would work too.
