Energy-Boost Tea 100 g
Our Energie-Stark Tea is a true natural pick-me-up—for dogs and cats who need a little energy boost now and then. The tea combines selected herbs with mild green tea and is perfect for anyone looking for natural support without resorting to artificial additives. Cats can also benefit from this mild blend. Natural, gently processed, and completely safe in the right amount—a true feel-good moment in the bowl.
Energy from Herbs—Gentle and Natural
Tea for dogs? Yes! The Energy-Boost Tea features a harmonious blend of herbs that have been valued for centuries for their soothing effects. It includes a hint of green tea—deliberately used in a mild dose to give dogs and cats a gentle energy boost without overloading them with caffeine. The carefully balanced blend of natural ingredients ensures that the tea smells pleasant, tastes delicious, and can promote vitality at the same time.
How the Energy-Boost Tea Works
The effects stem from the combination of natural ingredients: A gentle dose of green tea can increase alertness, while energizing herbs such as stinging nettle or peppermint stimulate the metabolism and enhance well-being. For pets that need a little extra motivation—whether after an illness, in old age, or when feeling low on energy—this tea is a wonderfully natural way to recharge.
Benefits of our Energy Tea at a Glance:
Promotes vitality—gently but noticeably
Mildly dosed green tea for controlled energy
Herbal tea with no artificial additives
Suitable for dogs and cats
Easy to use—just brew and mix with water or food
Well-tolerated even by sensitive pets
Green tea for dogs and cats—is that really possible?
Green tea for dogs and cats can be a valuable supplement when given in the right dosage. It’s important to keep the amount deliberately small, and that’s exactly what we do: Our green tea content is carefully selected so that pets receive only the valuable antioxidants and gentle energy, but not the undesirable high levels of caffeine. The result is a tea that’s safe and soothing while offering an exciting change of flavor.

Stomach and Intestinal Tea for Dogs – Natural Support for Healthy Digestion
A sensitive stomach can quickly throw your dog off balance. Gas, loose stools, or diarrhea are uncomfortable for your four-legged friend and often worrisome for you. Our Magen-Stark Tea consists of a carefully balanced blend of herbs that can soothe your dog’s stomach and help support normal stomach function.
Stomach-Strength Tea – The Active Ingredients
The tea contains the following combination of time-tested herbs:
Caraway, fennel, chamomile, licorice, calamus root, artichoke herb, and centaury.
The balanced blend of these herbs harmoniously supports your dog’s natural digestive processes. Brewing the tea with hot water gently extracts the valuable plant compounds and makes them available to your dog.
Fennel and caraway can reduce bloating and support natural digestion in the intestines. Chamomile, in the form of high-quality chamomile flowers, is known to soothe the stomach and relax irritated mucous membranes. Licorice and calamus root are traditionally used for sensitive stomachs. Artichoke herb and centaury can promote normal stomach and gallbladder function.
The correct amount of brewed tea—tailored to your dog’s size and needs—ensures gentle incorporation into their daily food.
Especially for sensitive dogs
A dog’s stomach is specialized for processing protein-rich food. Several factors play an important role in this process:
Hydrochloric acid—ensures a very low pH level and kills germs
Digestive enzymes such as pepsin—break down proteins into smaller components
Mucosal barrier—protects the stomach wall from the aggressive acid
Rhythmic stomach contractions – move the chyme toward the intestines
When the stomach is empty, it is particularly acidic. If a dog goes without food for an extended period or if the body produces too much stomach acid, this can lead to what is known as fasting vomiting. In this case, the dog often vomits yellowish mucus or a foamy liquid because excess acid irritates the mucous membrane. The delicate balance in the digestive system can be disrupted by, among other things:
Changes in diet
Hard-to-digest ingredients
Stress or excitement
Excessive food portions
Irregular feeding times
Our specially selected herbs can provide helpful relief for any type of stomach upset:
Chamomile – can soothe the mucous membranes in the gastrointestinal tract
Fennel and caraway – can reduce bloating and aid digestion
Bitter compounds – can help regulate natural enzyme activity
This tea is not a substitute for veterinary treatment, but it can naturally support the physiological processes in the stomach and intestines. In cases of persistent, severe, or recurring symptoms, a veterinary examination should be conducted to professionally determine the cause.

Natural Pain Relievers for Dogs and Cats
Pain in dogs and cats is an important warning sign that must be taken seriously. Many pet owners seek natural pain relievers to avoid the side effects of chemical medications. The new Volume 4 of the “Therapeutika” series from VFCG Publishing (vfcg.at) offers in-depth insights and tried-and-true recommendations for safe, natural pain management in pets.
Proven Natural Pain Relievers for Dogs and Cats
PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide):
A substance produced naturally by the body with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects that can be used in dogs and cats without known side effects. PEA is recommended by many veterinarians as the first choice among natural pain relievers.
Turmeric:
Known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties, it supports mobility and well-being.
Frankincense:
Traditionally used to relieve inflammation and pain.
Rosehip:
Provides valuable vitamin C, supports joint health, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
CBD oil:
Derived from the hemp plant, it has calming, pain-relieving, and anti-inflammatory effects without any psychoactive effects.
Green-lipped mussel:
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin; strengthens joints and reduces inflammation.
Ginger and Green Tea:
Both plants have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Important Information on Use:
Not all natural pain relievers are suitable for every animal species: For example, willow bark should be avoided in cats, as they have limited ability to metabolize salicylic acid.
In cases of severe or persistent pain, a veterinary evaluation is always necessary.
The “Therapeutika” series stands for sustainability and animal welfare. Volume 4 provides scientifically sound, proven solutions for natural pain management and helps pet owners promote the well-being of their four-legged friends in a targeted and safe manner—without any unwanted side effects.
A book by Dr. med. vet. Jutta Ziegler and Lisa Steiner
Dr. med. vet. Jutta Ziegler is one of the best-known veterinarians in the German-speaking world and is regarded as an expert in holistic veterinary medicine, species-appropriate nutrition, and alternative healing methods. After completing her veterinary studies in Vienna and earning her doctorate in 1981, she founded her own veterinary clinic in Austria and later ran a successful small-animal practice in Hallein near Salzburg. Over the course of her decades-long career, she shifted her focus from conventional veterinary medicine to holistic treatment, which centers on identifying the root causes of illness, natural nutrition, and the use of therapies free of side effects.
Dr. Ziegler is particularly well-known for her critical stance toward industrial pet food, excessive vaccinations, and the routine use of medications. Instead, she relies on biologically appropriate raw feeding (BARF), high-quality natural products, and orthomolecular substances to promote the long-term health of dogs and cats. As a bestselling author, Dr. Ziegler has inspired many pet owners to rethink their approaches and exposed shortcomings in veterinary medicine through books such as “Dogs Would Live Longer If…” and “Veterinarians Can Endanger Your Pet’s Health.”
Together with Lisa Steiner, an experienced nutritionist and practice manager on Dr. Ziegler’s team, she has distilled her extensive knowledge into a practical handbook. Both experts bring many years of experience in holistic veterinary medicine and natural nutrition to the table. The handbook they co-authored offers pet owners well-founded and safe recommendations for natural pain management in dogs and cats—without chemical medications, but with a focus on gentle, sustainable therapies and species-appropriate nutrition.
Lisa Steiner supports Dr. Ziegler not only in practice management but also in providing individualized nutritional counseling and developing treatment plans tailored to the needs of each animal. Together, they champion a modern, holistic approach to veterinary medicine that prioritizes the well-being of animals.
