Dandelion may benefit the liver, skin, kidneys, urinary tract, and digestive, gallbladder and circulatory systems. Dandelion is a strong but safe diuretic. Therefore, it benefits dogs & cats with heart problems, which often cause fluid accumulation throughout the body. The good thing about dandelion is that it is rich in potassium, which replenishes the precious minerals lost in the urine. Dandelion's diuretic property also makes it an effective herb for dogs & cats with UTIs. It can help increase urine flow, thereby flushing out and eliminating the bacteria causing the infection. Burdock root contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, iron, B vitamins (e.g., thiamine, riboflavin), and inulin. It is a diuretic and has antioxidant and blood-cleansing properties, making it one of the best "blood purifying" herbs. It may also stimulate the liver and gallbladder.
