165: Are heavy metals hiding in your dog’s herbal supplements? In this short episode, I break down the truth about lead in herbs and why this issue is more about environmental exposure than contamination.
I walk you through how plants absorb heavy metals, why roots like dandelion and turmeric carry higher risk, and how sourcing plays a huge role in safety. I also share what to look for in high quality herbal products, why organic doesn’t always mean safer, and how to support your dog’s natural detox pathways.
If you’ve felt alarmed by recent conversations around herbal safety, this episode will help you think more clearly and make more informed choices for your dog.
