Parasite Cleanser and Diarrhea Relief
Are you wondering, “can dogs eat fennel?” or perhaps you’re curious about whether feline companions can ingest fennel, too? The short answer is yes, they can!
In fact, this kitchen staple is not only harmless to your pet, but it is also a highly nutritious herb. Let’s dive into the world of fennel and learn how exactly it helps with your pet’s health!
What’s Fennel, Anyway?
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a green and white plant with yellow flowers. Its hair-like foliage makes it unique, and its aromatic flavor makes it excellent as a spice.
This nutrient-rich herb is low in calories and includes essential components like calcium and antioxidants such as Vitamins A and C. Dogs, while primarily omnivores, can get nutrients from fennel, making it a healthy and beneficial addition to their diet. As for human use, this plant’s dried seeds and oil have also historically been used as medicine.
A Glimpse into Fennel’s History
Fennel can help address digestive conditions like gastric discomfort, flatulence, and bloating.
Fennel has been around for centuries, with roots tracing back to the Mediterranean region. Foeniculum vulgare is originally from southern Europe, but it has now become established in northern Europe, Australia, and North America. Various regions worldwide grow and cultivate this versatile vegetable!
On top of that, with a rich history in traditional medicine, the plant may address a broad spectrum of health issues associated with the digestive, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems.
Medicinal Properties Fennel for Dogs & Cats
This plant has a long list of properties, from anti-inflammatory, nutritive, antibacterial, and carminative, which can contribute to many health benefits for your furry companion. Its high fiber content also serves as a valuable ally in promoting smooth digestion, preventing constipation, and enhancing overall gut health for your beloved pet.
Fennel can also help in cases of digestive issues like gastric discomfort, flatulence, and bloating. This herb possesses the ability to help relax spasms, improve peristalsis (the wave-like motion of the intestines), expel intestinal gas, and ease stomach cramps. For these reasons, our holistic vet and master herbalist have added fennel to NHV’s main gastrointestinal formula NHV TumFlora, and our constipation support NHV Maris.
- TumFlora helps ease IBD symptoms (e.g. acid buildup), helps improve natural intestinal flora, and helps address bacterial infection in the gut.
- Maris is vet-formulated for constipation in cats. It promotes healthy bowel movements and soft stools, helps reduce congestion, and supports good colon and GI function.
As internal parasites may cause gastrointestinal damage in your little one, our vet and pet experts have also included fennel in NHV Inulin-PK. Being a natural deworming support, Inulin-PK helps repair damage parasites cause, promote gastrointestinal tract healing, and control bleeding.
Precautions with Fennel for Dogs & Cats
In general, this herb is completely safe for pets. However, the volatile oils in fennel may contribute to photosensitive dermatitis in some animals, but it is very rare.
To ensure your sweetie’s safety, we recommend you consult your veterinarian before introducing fennel into your pet’s routine. Your vet can provide guidance based on your pet’s specific health background and needs.

What to do for a cat with constipation? It can be a real messy situation, and long term constipation can cause serious health issues for your cat including megacolon in cats. You can help relieve your cat’s constipation with natural remedies formulated by vets. Promote healthy bowel movements with Maris, a gentle, herbal supplement that will soothe your pet’s intestines, soften stools, and help relieve cramps and gas.

- Discomfort when defecating

Other Symptoms of Chronic Constipation in Cats include
- Unproductive straining
- Lethargy
- Appetite loss
- Vomiting
- You may notice small hard stools in the litter box and around the house
- Sometimes liquid stool is passed around the hard fecal matter, making owners think their kitty is having diarrhea
What Causes Constipation in Cats?
Constipation occurs when a pet is unable to evacuate his or her bowels. When this occurs, water from fecal matter is absorbed by the colon, leaving a hard mass that is uncomfortable to pass.
Constipation may be caused by poor hydration or a dirty litter pan. Start by ensuring that your cat has easy access to clean drinking water and a clean litter box. Diet is another common factor. They may have ingested animal bones or other indigestible materials, like hair, certain plants, or litter.
Other possible causes may include:
- Chronic underlying conditions like kidney disease or arthritic discomfort
- Physical internal obstructions like a broken pelvis
- Some prescription medications
- Neuromuscular problems with the colon itself
- Anxiety
Constipation may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as inflammation of the colon, called colitis. If your kitty’s constipation is recurring, it’s important to schedule a visit with your vet to rule this out.
Relief for Cat Constipation with Natural Remedies
Maris is an effective remedy to soothe the discomfort and symptoms of constipation naturally. Maris is a gentle herbal formula that can be used long term if your kitty suffers from constipation. For immediate, emergency relief of constipation please see your vet. All NHV supplements are ethically sourced or wildcrafted.

Expert Pet Care Tip
If your kitty is suffering from chronic constipation, ask your vet to show you how to palpate for constipation. This little trick along with supplements can save you a trip to the vet’s since it can help ease constipation before it gets too severe.
