Parsley Piert for Pets

Herbs For Pets 4 min read

Don’t be fooled. Parsley Piert has nothing to do with the green stuff you’d find on top of a fancy meal. Instead, it’s a plant that has long been used in herbalism for bladder and kidney issues. Today, pet parents can use Parsley Piert for pets thanks to veterinarian-approved supplements such as NHV Tripsy.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s take a closer look at what this plant is, how it may support urinary health in cats and dogs, and why it earned the strange nickname “stone piercer.”

What is Parsley Piert? And Why Was It Called “Stone Piercer?”

Parsley Piert, also known by its scientific name Aphanes arvensis, is a sprawling plant that grows throughout the British Isles.

But Aphanes arvensis and Parsley Piert aren’t the only names that this plant can claim. It actually used to be called “stone piercer!” Why? Well, there are two reasons. The first is that Parsley Piert loves to grow in the cracks of rocks. To some, it almost looked like Parsley Piert was piercing right through the stone, causing it to crack! While this isn’t really the case – the plant just loves to grow in existing crevices – it’s still a great homage to this small yet mighty herb.

The name is also a nod to its traditional use in herbalism as an aid for kidney stones. In truth, this plant isn’t related to culinary parsley at all!

Fast forward to today, people still reach for Parsley Piert when they have kidney or bladder issues. Even pet parents can find supplements containing Parsley Piert to help support pets with kidney stones alongside regular veterinary care.

Benefits of Parsley Piert for Pets

Parsley Piert has a long history of use in folk medicine. In fact, it was sometimes called “colicwort” or “bowel-hive-grass” (with hive referring to inflammation) because it was also used for intestinal issues.

However, one of the most popular uses of this small but mighty herb is as a support for kidney stones. It is believed to help support the normal functioning of the kidney and bladder.

Science is now starting to look at this herb more closely. One study even suggests that Parsley Piert has some benefits thanks to its naturally occurring antioxidants. They wrote that Parsley Piert “has a potential source of antioxidants of natural origin since especially the aqueous extract has very low cytotoxic activity. Thus, A. arvensis might be a good candidate for further investigation in developing new antioxidants.”

Safety of Parsley Piert for Pets

Parsley Piert is non-toxic to pets. However, pet parents should not try to guess the dose they give their pets. Instead, they should use veterinarian-approved supplements such as NHV Tripsy.

It should also be noted that the unrelated culinary parsley (Petroselinum crispum) can be toxic to animals and should not be confused with Parsley Piert.

Common uses of Parsley Piert for pets include supporting the kidneys, urinary tract, and the bladder.

The multi-herb formula NHV Tripsy, which contains Parsley Piert, has been studied on cats and dogs, with results suggesting promising benefits.

According to the study’s lead, Dr. Joe Bartges, “When [NHV Tripsy is] given to young cats and adult dogs, in a relatively short period of time of two weeks, the collected urine samples indicated that Tripsy significantly decreased the risk of developing urinary stones in both groups.”

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. NHV formulas are meticulously researched and made in a GMP-certified facility using only the highest quality organic or ethically harvested herbs. Each formulation was expertly developed by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined 50 years of experience in plant-based remedies. Through dedication and research, NHV formulations are safe and effective in extracting the medicinal properties of the herb through a patented process.
