For too long, we’ve focused solely on what an herb does or what condition it’s “good for,” often overlooking the most crucial element: your dog’s unique energetic signature. Just like people, dogs are individuals with distinct energy patterns that influence their health and how they respond to different treatments.
Imagine understanding your dog on a deeper energetic level, allowing you to choose the right herbs that truly resonate with their individual needs.
What is Canine Energetics?
Canine Energetics is a core principle of holistic canine herbalism that recognizes each dog as a unique individual with their own inherent energy patterns. This approach, often missing in conventional veterinary and wellness practices, goes beyond simply treating symptoms. It focuses on understanding your dog’s fundamental energetic constitution – whether they tend towards warmth or coolness – and how various factors like diet, environment, and even medications can shift this balance.

Treating a condition without considering your dog’s individual energetic makeup can lead to ineffective results or even worsen their imbalance.
Canine Energetics is a fascinating and insightful approach that draws upon principles found in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other holistic systems to categorize dogs based on their dominant energetic patterns. By identifying whether your dog leans towards being “Hot,” “Cold,” “Damp,” or “Dry” (and combinations thereof), you can gain a profound understanding of their inherent tendencies and how to best support their individual needs.

It recognizes that every dog has a unique energetic signature, which influences its overall health and susceptibility to disease. Balanced energetics keep your dog's health at an optimal level, increasing disease prevention.
Canine energetics focuses on the concepts of warm, cool, and neutral. Understanding these categories helps in choosing appropriate foods, herbs, and remedies for your dog.
Observe your dog closely. Consider their personality, activity level, and any physical tendencies. Are they always seeking cool places? Do they get hot easily? Do they seem to be somewhere in between? Most dogs lean towards either warm or cool, with very few being truly neutral.
Understanding your dog's energetics can help you:
When a dog's energetics become imbalanced (too hot or too cold), it can tax their elimination, assimilation, and immune response. Maintaining a healthy range of warm or cool helps keep your dog balanced, especially at a cellular level, and promotes overall health and disease prevention.
