Herbs For Pets 3 min read

Fenugreek is an ancient herb that has been used by humans for at least 4000 years. This plant is beloved in many of the world’s cuisines thanks to its aromatic seeds, but there’s more to it than taste. Known as one of the world’s first medicinal crops, fenugreek contains many beneficial organic compounds that can help the body regenerate and repair. This also includes potentially helping to regulate blood sugar levels in the case of pet diabetes!

An Ancient Herb with Modern Uses

When it comes to safety, herbalists look to plants that have hundreds of years of safe use by people and animals. Fenugreek has thousands, making it one of the most ancient medicinal crops we know about.

Fenugreek is one of the most ancient medicinal crops we know about.

A favorite in traditional Chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, and others, herbalists and healers use the seed of this plant to address inflammation and promote digestion. Today, we also recognize its potential to help pet diabetes.

Fenugreek’s Key Component: Saponins

Fenugreek naturally contains saponins. Saponins have many benefits for pets, and they may offer anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic activities.

The saponins in fenugreek may potentially help with the blood sugar response, making it an ideal ingredient in your pet’s diabetes toolbox. When giving your pet a supplement that contains fenugreek, be sure to do it before their meal, otherwise they miss out on its benefits.

How NHV Uses Fenugreek for Diabetic Pets

Diabetic fur kiddos need both conventional veterinary care and lifestyle changes to help manage their condition. Lifestyle changes can include getting more movement and exercise, as well as eating foods less likely to cause a glucose spike. Supplements can play a role too.

NHV Mellit is a formula of pet-safe herbs that may help balance the production of insulin and pancreatic function. Amongst its other carefully sourced and tested ingredients, this natural remedy contains fenugreek, which may help your diabetic pet control their blood sugar.

To use it, give them a dose of Mellit about 30 minutes before mealtime. That way, their body can begin to absorb the herbs and produce an effect before there is a spike in their blood sugar.

Fenugreek Safety for Pets

Fenugreek, like any other supplement, should be used in moderation. Don’t experiment with the dosage, as too much can cause indigestion or nausea. NHV supplements include simple dosing recommendations to ensure that your pet receives the appropriate dosage each time.

And remember: it is best to consult your veterinarian before introducing new supplements, as each pet has unique needs!

Wellness Journeys with Fenugreek

The dosage and quality of fenugreek is crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without 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. A holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined 50 years of experience in plant-based remedies developed each formulation. Through dedication and research, NHV formulations are safe and effective in extracting the medicinal properties of the herb through a patented process.

When you’re navigating something as complicated as pet diabetes, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, you are not alone! We offer personalized pet care advice with special attention to how natural supports may help your fur-kiddo.
