Indian Gooseberry for Pets

Herbs For Pets 3 min read

Did you know that a tiny green fruit packed with vitamin C may be able to make a big difference in your pet’s health? Indian gooseberry, also known as amla, has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine. Today, it’s also making its way into holistic pet care. Notably, this superfruit may ease digestion and support wellness in a variety of ways.

The History of Indian Gooseberry

The Indian gooseberry plant, as the name suggests, is native to South Asia. It has a pretty distinctive appearance, growing on trees with mottled bark and crooked branches.

It is used both as a food and an herbal remedy. (There’s a reason people say, “let food be thy medicine”). Often it is pickled, but it may be eaten raw or juiced. Nutritive and wholesome, gooseberries are full of vitamin C, the vitamin we all know as the remedy for the common cold and as a natural source of antioxidants.

But as a herbal remedy for pets? It’s more than just tasty. Thanks to its unique properties, this plant holds a lot of potential in herbalism.

Benefits of Indian Gooseberry for Pets

Today, holistic vets look to the versatile Indian gooseberry to help support pet wellness in a variety of ways.

Indian gooseberry may offer several benefits for pets. Thanks to its high vitamin C content, it may help improve the immune system, improve the quality of skin and coat health, and support their overall wellness.


Researchers have even identified amla as having several promising medicinal effects. Amazingly, these effects potentially include: “enhanced cell survival, decreased free radical production, and higher antioxidant levels.”

One of this superfood’s best uses is as a digestive aid for pets. Nausea, which is an often difficult to detect symptom in sick pets, may be eased when using this ingredient. What’s more, thanks to its antioxidants, free radicals in the digestive tract may be neutralized, making amla a great ally for pets with digestive troubles.

Additionally, it may also alleviate symptoms of heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea. Therefore, it’s great to have on hand for sick pets or pets who take pharmaceuticals that cause side effects (just be sure to space supplements at least half an hour apart for proper absorption).

Safety of Indian Gooseberry for Cats and Dogs

Indian Gooseberry is non-toxic for pets. It may be used in supplements made specifically for pets to treat symptoms of digestive problems. These include heartburn and nausea, or it may be used as a proactive aid. However, like any herb, it may not be suitable for pets that are pregnant or lactating. Consult your vet first.

Note: The dosage and quality of the herbal ingredient are crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without proper guidance and under the supervision of your pet’s veterinary team.
