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.

Skin Herbal Relief Ointment is crafted with gentle, plant-based ingredients designed to soothe and support the skin. A little licking happens, and small amounts are generally okay. But like any topical, it’s best to let it absorb so it can do its job. Why it works (and why it’s so soothing): A thoughtful blend of botanicals chosen to calm, comfort, and protect: Plantain & Chickweed , help quiet irritation and support skin recovery Calendula – known for calming and soothing sensitive or stressed skin St. John’s Wort (Hypericum) – traditionally used to comfort and restore Lavender – helps relax and gently support skin balance Olive Oil & Beeswax – deeply moisturize and create a protective barrier Vitamin E – nourishes and supports healthy skin Together, they help soften, soothe, and protect where your dog or cat needs it most. If your dog or cat licks it:

• Small amounts are unlikely to cause harm
• Ingredients are plant-based and thoughtfully selected
• But larger amounts aren’t ideal, this is meant for the skin, not as a treat

Tips to minimize licking:

• Apply a thin layer and massage it in well
• Distract with a treat, walk, or playtime
• Apply before meals or rest time
• For paws, apply before bedtime
• Use a recovery cone if needed

Great for:

• Hot spots
• Dry, cracked paws
• Minor irritations or rashes
• Bug bites
• Noses and skin folds

When to see your veterinarian: if irritation worsens, spreads, or doesn’t improve within a few days

Our gentle, botanical care products are designed to support skin, ears, and eyes in a more natural way.
