10Chamomile▾
● Beneficial (emerging)Chamomile (typically German chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla) is traditionally used as a calming and digestive herb, with constituents such as apigenin and bisabolol studied mainly in humans and laboratory models; controlled studies in dogs and cats are limited and much of the pet evidence is anecdotal. Veterinary sources associate it with soothing mild digestive upset and mild anxiety in dogs when used in moderation. Cats appear more sensitive, and high doses or prolonged use have been linked to hypersalivation, appetite loss, or contact dermatitis, so veterinary guidance is advised.Sources: VCA Animal Hospitals, 'Chamomile' veterinary information sheet · NCCIH, chamomile (Matricaria) overview (human/traditional use) · Whole Dog Journal / Great Pet Care veterinary-reviewed chamomile articles
