Stoneroot for pets is an herbal ally for urinary problems, but what exactly is this herb? Tucked away in the shaded forests of North America, this plant with lemon-scented blooms quietly thrives where few others grow. Commonly known as stoneroot or richweed, Collinsonia canadensis isn’t just a striking presence in rocky woodlands. Pet owners and holistic vets alike are beginning to explore how this plant from the mint family of herbs might support the health and well-being of our fur kiddos.
Long before it caught the eye of herbalists in the Western world, stoneroot was a trusted remedy among American Indigenous communities for a variety of reasons, including to treat headaches and blood, heart, or kidney issues.
Herbal practitioners began exploring stone root’s value thanks to its gentle but effective properties. They often steeped the leaves into a soothing tea, while reserving the plant’s roots – rich in biological compounds – as a diuretic, tonic, and astringent. In particular, they used stone root as a tonic for the capillaries.
Today, stoneroot is a fixture in many herbalists and holistic practitioners’ cupboards thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and potential to help with kidney issues in pets.
When used correctly, stoneroot may offer several benefits for pets. It has been used for its natural healing compounds.
Stoneroot contains saponins, along with other compounds that are antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, which may have beneficial properties. Holistic healers prepare natural remedies out of stoneroot thanks to these compounds, which may benefit several health conditions, such as bladder and kidney issues.
NHV Tripsy, a supplement for urinary and bladder health, contains stoneroot as one of its ingredients. A study of Tripsy suggested that it may help manage lower urinary tract disease in cats.
Stoneroot is non-toxic to dogs and cats. Most pets may take stoneroot as a supportive supplement for urinary and kidney-related conditions. As with any herb, stoneroot may not be suitable for pets that are pregnant or lactating.
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.
Are you wondering whether to start your pet on a new wellness routine for urinary or kidney problems, like chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, urinary infections, or more? In addition to your vet’s recommendations, NHV Tripsy may help soothe inflammation, reduce kidney stones, and promote your pet’s overall well-being.
In addition to stoneroot, Tripsy has six other herbs chosen for their urinary and bladder health, like Parsley Piert, Gravel Root, and Oregon Grape. While these herbs have been used to help people and pets for a long time in traditional herbalism, research also suggested that Tripsy effectively helps pets with lower urinary tract health.
If you have any questions about Tripsy or would like to chat about how to help your pet’s kidney problem naturally, use the chat box below to reach one of our Pet Experts. We love meeting pets and helping them with holistic supports.

When our little ones are sick, it can be very worrying because they can't just tell us what's wrong, even though we wish they could! Kidney disease is one of the most common health concerns in senior dogs and cats, but it can happen at any age. NHV's Renal Health Kit can help your furkiddo get on top of renal fatigue and provide support when they really need it.
When our little ones are sick, it can be very worrying because they can't just tell us what's wrong, even though we wish they could! Kidney disease is one of the most common health concerns in senior dogs and cats, but it can happen at any age. NHV's Renal Health Kit can help your furkiddo get on top of renal fatigue and provide support when they really need it.
Natural Renal Support for Cats and Dogs
Kidney disease is quite common in senior kitties (1 in 3 cats) but it may be seen in younger cats and dogs of all ages. The first signs that your little one may have kidney issues are excessive thirst (increased water intake), more frequent urination (pee becomes very diluted), loss of appetite, possible nausea and lethargy.
The two most common kidney issues affecting pets are:
Something to keep in mind is that toxins can build up quickly in the body when the kidneys are damaged (since they are vital for waste elimination), so your little one's immune system may quickly nosedive. So for acute renal failure or chronic kidney disease, we'd suggest adding a natural kidney support kit like NHV Renal Health Kit to help restore your furbaby's immune health. The 3 natural formulations in this kit contain organic, wild-crafted ingredients that support the liver and kidneys and are also beneficial for healthy immune function.
How NHV Renal Health Kit Reduces Symptoms of Kidney Disease
No pet parent wants to hear about their little one suffering from kidney disease. The scary part is that our furry friends often won't show any symptoms until at least 75% of one or both kidneys is damaged. Don't worry though! Our Renal Health Kit offers comprehensive renal support for your pet and can be used as precautionary care. Tripsy™ contains a soothing blend of herbs like Echinacea purpurea, Gravel root, Marshmallow, Parsley piert, Stone root and Wild hydrangea that support healthy kidney function, waste removal (urinary health) and soothing inflammation. Milk Thistle works to support gentle detoxification in the liver and kidneys as well as increase immunity. Stimmune contains ingredients like Astragalus, Echinacea, Oregon grape and Myrrh used traditionally to restore healthy immune function and fight infection, while herbs like Asian Ginseng are beneficial for improving overall vitality (increased energy) and helping the body adapt to stress (may reduce nausea).
