What comes to mind when you think of pet nutrition? You would turn to the whole food diet and the necessary balance of the diet right away. However, your next thought should be stressing on the significance of the absorption of the nutrients within the diet, which is why herbs for dogs play a very essential role for dogs.
 
Here are three important herbs your four-legged friend should not be without:
