This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com wishing you a day of making choices that support well-being (today and every day).
Our moods and our feelings not only affect us, they affect the people around us and even our beloved pets. Thus, working on changing our attitudes is not only something we do for our own well-being... it's also something we do for the ones we love.
The focus for today is:
I choose to limit feelings of
fear, anger, grief, and panic
as much as possible.
Today's message is inspired by Rita Hogan. author of the book: The Herbal Dog.
Science has proven that both positive and negative emotions can affect the heart’s electromagnetic field.
What we do in our environment directly affects our dog’s emotional and physical health (and ours as well), whether we like it or not.
Animal behaviorist Temple Grandin encourages people to focus on joy around their animals and limit feelings of fear, anger, grief, and panic as much as possible.

The Herbal Dog: Holistic Canine Herbalism Applications and Practice
by Rita Hogan.
In this comprehensive guide to holistic care for dogs, clinical canine herbalist Rita Hogan explains that by looking at dogs as individual ecosystems with unique personalities, physiology, and needs, we can select effective and personalized herbal remedies to support their constitutions and provide relief from many different ailments.
The author, who has spent more than two decades working with canines, uses energetic principles (cool, warm, dry, damp) to reveal how herbs are not "one size fits all" and how to find the root cause of chronic imbalances. She discusses in depth how a dog’s main organ systems work, how they are connected to each other, and why we need to understand them when choosing specific herbs and foods
.Presenting safe, clinically proven, and effective protocols for common canine conditions—from acid reflux to allergies to itching, scratching, and yeast—Rita presents a wide variety of holistic and herbal remedies: from herbal tinctures, glycerities, and phytoembryonics to flower essences, essential oils, medicinal mushrooms, and homeopathy. Her comprehensive materia medica of canine-specific herbs that she uses in her practice details what herbs are good for which conditions and why, what types of energetics are involved, safe dosage recommendations for each herbal remedy, and when to discontinue an herb.
Allowing each of us to take a hands-on approach to our canine companions’ health and longevity, this herbal guide outlines how to help them live their best lives by our sides.

Recap:
Science confirms that human emotions impact the emotional and physical health of pets. Dogs, in particular, are highly sensitive to their owner’s moods, which can affect their stress levels, heart health, and overall well-being. By limiting feelings of fear, anger, grief, and panic, we create a more harmonious environment that benefits both ourselves and our beloved pets.
