About Furbal Remedies
Our Story: A life long herbalist, Maggie Dana, understands the importance of caring for our pets in a gentle yet powerful way through herbal remedies.
This big headed dog here, Leroy, is one of my biggest teacher within canine herbalism. His three biggest struggles were with resource guarding, digestive intolerances and environmental allergies.
- After we adopted Leroy, he started resource guarding me from other dogs. I knew he normally was pretty good with other dogs, since he was a "tester" dog at the Humane Society because he was so neutral about them. Because of this, I created a concentrated herbal extract intended to help calm his nerves in the moment, help him be focused on our training while toning his nervous system over time. This blend became our best seller, Fast Relax.
- Leroy also suffered from environmental allergies. Each spring he would develop welts and hives all over his body. I started working on balancing his immune system over the years and each year his symptoms became less intense. Over three years, we completely healed his immune response and hasn't suffered from environmental allergies and hives for years.
^^ Year 1: When Leroy would get full body hives
^^ Year 2: The next year when his face blew up
but it didn't move to anywhere else on his body
Year 3: The next year he had a few small bumps on one leg that I could feel but couldn't see
Year 4 & onwards: No environmental allergies!
- Add onto his, Leroy also started to have chronic ear infections and developed interdigital furunculosis (infection filled cysts between his toes) which was determined to be caused by digestive intolerances. Once I knew it was because of digestive intolerances, I refused the pharmaceuticals the vets prescribed and I hit the ground running. I formulated a herbal powder blend to help heal his digestive system through what is known as leaky gut. Through a specific program I created and our proprietary formulated supplements, he can now eat all proteins and other foods.

This is what interdigital furunculosis can look like.
One week later after implementing our interdigital furunculosis protocol.
An impressive difference already!
A few weeks later when the infection was pretty much completely gone!
Interdigital furunculosis is a symptom of a deeper issue, so we still had work to do healing his digestive system through our Leaky Gut Reset Protocol.
He can now eat all foods with no reaction besides if he eats too much beef.
We call this a WIN!
