Our Apothecary formulas have over 30 years of heritage.

Earth Animal was founded in 1979 by Dr. Bob and Susan Goldstein. Dr. Bob, an integrative veterinarian, began developing herbal formulas in his practice decades ago. Long before "holistic/integrative pet care" was mainstream.

The Apothecary story:

• Our Supplement Formulas developed through decades of clinical veterinary practice
• Crafted by a master herbalist in the Green Mountains of Vermont
• Refined over 30+ years based on real-world results
• Rooted in traditional herbalism, backed by modern understanding

These aren't new-to-market formulas chasing trends. They're time-tested blends that have helped countless dogs and cats over three decades. That's why we say we're "Rooted in Nature, Backed by Science".

They don’t work overnight, and that’s the point. Our supplements are designed to support the body over time What to Expect

• You may notice small changes within a few days
• Most benefits build over 2–4 weeks of daily use
• Continued use helps maintain balance long-term

Why It Takes Time: We’re not forcing a quick fix. We’re helping your dog or cat build from the inside out, supporting digestion, skin, immune function, and overall wellbeing in a way that lasts. For Best Results

• Use daily, consistency is everything
• Stick with it, don’t skip around
• Give it time to do what it’s designed to do

A Simple Way to Think About It: You’re not flipping a switch, you’re building a foundation.

Stay consistent. Give it time. That’s when you’ll see the difference.

If your dog or cat is on medication, it’s always best to talk with your veterinarian before adding anything new. Herbs and supplements can be incredibly supportive, but they can also interact with certain medications, depending on what your animal is taking. A Simple Approach

• Start with a conversation with your veterinarian
• Share the product or ingredients you’re considering
• Take it slow and introduce one thing at a time

Why It Matters We believe in supporting the body naturally, but it has to be done thoughtfully and safely, especially when medications are involved.

Clean Ears is not a treatment for active ear infections, but it is a powerful way to support ear health and comfort. If there are signs of an infection, it’s important to see your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and care. Where Clean Ears shines is in daily care, early support, and ongoing maintenance. Why pet parents love Clean Ears: It’s made with a thoughtful blend of botanicals chosen to gently cleanse, soothe, and support the ear environment: Calendula & Chamomile – calm irritated skin and help ease discomfort Aloe Vera – hydrates and supports delicate ear tissue Witch Hazel – gently cleanses and helps remove buildup Mullein Oil & St. John’s Wort – traditionally used to comfort sensitive ears Grapefruit Seed Extract – helps keep the ear environment balanced Garlic infused in Olive Oil – supports overall ear wellness Together, these ingredients help create a cleaner, ear environment, one that’s less inviting to buildup and imbalance.
