“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” -Hippocrates
We love to keep our animals healthy by giving them the food they need. In nature, animals self medicate by eating a wide variety of plants. The best treats are also very beneficial to our animals health, such as dandelion! In fact, many “weeds” are wonderful treats. Please don’t give anything you can’t 100% identify! Text a picture if you are unsure. If you’d like to learn more, here' are some helpful websites!
