New Improved Formula! In our new formulas, the herbs are distilled in alcohol instead of glycerin, a process that is generally considered to preserve more of the beneficial properties of the herbs. Because alcohol is not sweet like glycerin, we've added both glycerin and agave nectar (a natural sweetener) to the formula to make it more palatable for dogs and cats.
This product was made in a FDA-approved facility using human-grade ingredients.
Available in 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottles.
Only Natural Pet brand products are 100% Guaranteed!

About Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies
The Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies have evolved from the work of holistic veterinarians and experienced herbalists to bring you a wide selection of natural health care products for your animal companion. Herbal formulas are easy to administer and assimilate, making treatment simple and effective. Herbs are great natural sources of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, proteins, trace elements, essential fatty acids, and other important nutrients.
Only the finest herbs are used in our formulas, and the synergistic nature of blending the herbs makes interactions more strongly felt. Nothing is more natural than harnessing the healing powers of the herbs and flowers around us. Animals in the wild have an uncanny ability to seek out and eat plants that will help them when they are ill or injured.
Natural therapies do not attack just the symptoms of a disorder. Instead they help rebuild the total health of the body so that the body can heal itself. When natural remedies are used in conjunction with a nutritious diet, your pet can enjoy a healthier life.
The effectiveness of Laxa-Herb Herbal Formula, as with ANY herbal or natural remedy, varies with the health of the animal. A animal being fed a high-quality diet with adequate vitamins and enzymes will respond better than an animal on a poor quality diet. Each animal’s system needs support in healing from within. Please see the article What You Need to Know About Your Pet’s Food for information about feeding the best quality diet.
Please keep in mind that response to supplements varies by individual. If your pet's symptoms worsen or change in any way that concerns you, discontinue use of any supplements and contact your veterinarian.
When introducing any new supplement, it is wise to start with a lower than recommended dose and build up over the course of several days to a week. Only introduce one supplement at a time.
