When it comes to our dogs, we never want to think about emergencies — but being prepared can make all the difference when the unexpected happens.
Most pet parents have the basics on hand: bandages, tweezers, maybe some hydrogen peroxide. But what about natural, herbal support that doesn’t just patch things up, but helps your dog’s body truly heal?
At Furbal Remedies, we believe a herbal first aid kit is one of the most powerful gifts you can give your dog — because it prepares you to meet common issues with gentle, effective care. 🐾🌱
Today, we’re sharing exactly how to build one.
🩺 Everyday Emergencies You Can Be Ready For
You don’t need to wait for something dramatic to need a first aid kit. Everyday situations where herbs can make a difference include:
🐾 Minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions
🐾 Hot spots or irritated skin
🐾 Tummy upsets like vomiting or diarrhea
🐾 Anxiety after injuries, vet visits, or loud noises
🐾 Mild allergic reactions (skin flare-ups, itching)
These are the little moments when having the right tools lets you act fast — without immediately reaching for harsher pharmaceuticals.
🌿 The Core Herbal Remedies Every Dog Parent Should Have
Here’s what we recommend stocking your herbal first aid kit with:
1. Pawsitively Healing Wound Balm (Calendula + Plantain Blend)
Perfect for cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and dry, cracked paw pads.
🌼 Calendula soothes inflammation and speeds healing.
🌱 Plantain draws out irritation and supports tissue repair.
How to Use:
Clean the area gently, pat dry, and apply a small amount of salve 2–3 times daily.
2. Gut Soother Powder (Marshmallow Root)
For those sudden cases of vomiting, diarrhea, or loose stools caused by stress, food mishaps, or minor illness.
🍃 Marshmallow root coats and protects the gut lining while calming inflammation and irritation
How to Use:
Mix into a small amount of food or broth during digestive upset.
3. Digestive Charcoal Powder (Undesired Ingestion)
Pulls toxins or bacteria out of your dog's intestines.
🖤 Charcoal supports has strong drawing capabilities to bind to unwanted toxins within the digestive system.
How to Use:
Mix with a tiny bit of liquid-like food you dog likes and let them lick it up.
4. Fast Relax Extract (Nervous System Support)
For calming overwhelmed, anxious, or injured dogs naturally — without sedation.
🌿 Skullcap supports a healthy nervous system response to trauma, fear, or stress.
How to Use:
Administer orally according to your dog's weight when anxiety or trauma is present.
4. CBD Oil (Pain Support)
For when your dog hurts themselves and needs some pain relief.
🌿 CBD Oil binds to pain receptors to help your dog feel more comfortable when they have an injury or post surgery/procedure.
How to Use:
Administer orally according to your dog's weight when anxiety or trauma is present.
🛠 How to Build (and Use) Your Herbal Kit
Setting up your kit is simple. We recommend a small box or container with:
⛑ Healing Salve
⛑ Gut Soother Powder
⛑ Fast Relax Extract
⛑ Digestive Charcoal Powder
⛑ CBD Extract
⛑ Cotton pads, bandages, vet wrap
⛑ Small bottle of saline solution (for wound flushing)
⛑ Tweezers
⛑ Emergency vet contact info card
Keep it in your car, at home, or put it in a small bag and take it on hikes or trips!
👉 Bonus Tip: Always monitor your dog’s condition. Herbs are incredible allies — but if symptoms worsen or you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to contact your holistic vet.
💚 A Smarter Way to Care
Natural remedies are a beautiful bridge between fast action and true healing.
Instead of masking symptoms, herbs work with your dog's body to soothe, repair, and strengthen — all while being gentle and safe.
