Why I Add Organic Freeze-Dried Dandelion Root to Tobey’s Crunch n’ Care™ Base

When it comes to sensitive dogs, liver health is everything.

That’s why I now include a pinch of freeze-dried organic dandelion root powder in my Crunch n’ Care™ base—a gentle, plant-powered boost to help your dog detox naturally, every single day.

Dandelion root has long been used in herbal medicine as a liver tonic, but many pet owners don’t realize how it can support dogs too.

What Is Dandelion Root Good For?

• Liver support – It encourages bile production and liver detoxification
  
  
• Digestive aid – Helps stimulate appetite and digestion
  
  
• Mild diuretic – Supports the kidneys and urinary health
  
  
• Anti-inflammatory – Natural compounds may reduce inflammation in the gut and joints
  
  
• Antioxidants – Protects cells from free radical damage over time
  
  

It’s a quiet little hero.

How Much Can a Dog Handle?

For a medium dog (around 25–35 lbs), 1/4 to 1/2 tsp daily of dried dandelion root is generally considered safe. But like all herbs, it’s best used in moderation—especially as a micro-supplement, not a main ingredient.

I use just enough to deliver daily, low-dose support that builds up over time. And because it’s freeze-dried and organic, it keeps its potency without any sketchy fillers or alcohol extracts.

Why Use It Daily?

Because gentle, consistent support works better than waiting until something goes wrong.

A dog’s liver filters everything—from food additives to environmental toxins. If your pup has allergies, chronic inflammation, or sensitive digestion, keeping the liver humming can make a big difference.

Adding a tiny bit of dandelion root daily—especially in a chew that already supports gut health and digestion—feels like the kind of care I’d want for my own dog. (Because it is.)

And that’s why it’s in Tobey’s treats now.
