Have you ever noticed that your dog seems like a different dog depending on the weather?
Some dogs come alive on crisp, cool days.
They move better.
They seem brighter.
They last longer on walks.
Others wilt the moment itâs chilly, damp, or greyâŚ
but suddenly have a spring in their step when the sun comes out.
From an energetic point of view, this matters more than we realise.
Because how a dog responds to cold, damp, heat, wind, or humidity gives us quiet clues about what their system finds supportive - and what it finds challenging.
A dog who stiffens in cold, damp weather may respond differently to herbs than a dog who becomes inflamed, itchy, or unsettled in heat.
A dog who slows right down in grey, heavy weather isnât showing a flaw, theyâre showing you how their energy interacts with the environment.
Herbs have relationships with weather too.
Some feel warming and moving.
Some feel cooling and soothing.
Some help the body cope better with damp, heavy conditions.
Others support dogs who feel dried out or frazzled by heat.
This is one of the reasons herbal support is never truly one-size-fits-all.
So hereâs a gentle thing to notice this week:
How does your dog change when the weather changes?
More bouncy? More stiff? More sleepy? More itchy?
Those patterns are part of their energetic story - and theyâre just as useful as any symptom.
Keep it herby,
