For over 23 years, I've been working with dog families just like yours. Since 2002, I've helped over 50,000 dogs through natural herbal support programs. Many of these families came to me feeling exactly like you might be feeling right now - worried, frustrated, searching for answers, hoping there's something more they can do for their best friend.
There is. And you're about to discover it. My approach draws from the wisdom of renowned herbalists Dr. Richard Schulze and Dr. John Christopher, whose methods have helped countless people support their bodies naturally. Working with experienced herbalists and veterinarians, I've carefully adapted these time-tested approaches specifically for dogs - gentle yet powerful support that helps your dog's body do what it's designed to do. Right now, every day might feel like you're holding your breath, waiting and worrying. That's not how you have to live. There's a way forward where you can breathe easy again, where playtime is just playtime, not a source of anxiety.

After 23 years, one thing I'm really proud of is the trust we've built with dog owners from literally every walk of life. Police officers, veterinarians, ship captains, pastors, teachers, breeders, groomers, professors, pilots, dentists - people from all over the world. And I want you to know: every single review you see here is genuine. Real customers, real dogs, real stories. Because at the end of the day, that's what matters, real results for the dogs we all love so much.
We are so grateful to have discovered Five Leaf Pet Botanicals’ products! We use the Canine Heart Health package.
Our 14-year-old poodle, Bella… She is thriving!… We have done our own research and found that these products use ingredients backed by science to help improve your pet’s quality of life. Thank you, Five Leaf!
I’m pretty much amazed at the difference your Canine Heart Health products have made in my 14 yr old Shih Tzu Sammy. I did my research and found Five Leaf and the Canine Heart Health product. I placed an order for a 2 month supply (which has actually lasted almost 3 months) and the difference is remarkable. The reviews I read were spot on and I’ve gotten the same results as those other people. This review is 12/22 and I’m scheduled for a return trip to the vet for another checkup in 3/23. I’ll do another update at that time. Folks, this stuff works. I’ve just re-ordered another 2 month supply of the Canine Heart Health items. Our pets are worth every cent of their reasonable price. Very highly recommended!!
We started him on a full canine heart and alternated the liver and kidney cleanses. That was 2 YEARS AGO. He still runs through the yard at full speed and loves following us all over the yard. I am thoroughly impressed with this product and recommend it to anyone I can.
I was soooooo fortunate to find this website!!! I ordered everything for her heart and followed the cooked diet that was suggested ASAP. I cannot thank Five Leaf enough!!! I called them several times with questions and they were so kind and patient. If I can say one thing to anybody reading this it would be just follow the program!! They have covered all the bases. Just do exactly what they say about products and dosages and I’m pretty sure you will be able to tell a great story someday also!!
Myself and the doctor are immensely pleased. I cannot even begin to express how thankful and thrilled I am to be a part of the Five Leaf program! I cannot thank Amanda enough!
My Complete System – Six Steps That Work Together
Every part of my program works together to help support healthy heart function and normal circulation. The focus is on nourishing your dog's whole body so their own systems can do the work they're designed to do. With targeted nutrition, time-tested botanicals, and natural practices, we support the heart so it can maintain strong, steady function.
Every dog is born with a natural blueprint for health. Their body knows exactly how to keep things in balance when we give it the right kind of help. By keeping unnecessary toxins out and feeding the body with wholesome, natural nourishment, we make it easier for your dog to focus energy where it's needed most: keeping all those internal systems running smoothly.
The trouble is, everyday chemicals and heavily processed foods can slowly pile up inside the body. Over time, this "toxic load" can put extra pressure on vital organs. That's why my program focuses on pure, natural nutrition and powerful herbal support to help lift some of that burden so your dog's body can get back to doing what it was designed to do best: maintain balance, strength, and wellbeing.
Most approaches target the heart in isolation. I take a whole-dog view. When you provide proper nutrition, support healthy heart function naturally, and give the liver and kidneys the support they need, you create the kind of internal environment where dogs can truly thrive. Every minute of every day, every cell in your dog's body is striving to work as efficiently as possible; it's built into their DNA.
My comprehensive program uses a blend of customized herbal formulations, whole food nutrition, and lifestyle improvements. No single step is a magic bullet.
If you can make only one change, let this be the one you choose! Get your dog off processed food. Fresh, home-prepared meals, even simple ones, will have the biggest impact on their health. You want clean fuel for your dog’s body. After 20+ years helping dogs, I’ve seen this single step transform lives. You know the saying “you are what you eat” – well, it’s so true. This is definitely the most impactful change you can make for your dog.
Tap water is full of impurities, chemicals and toxins. Clean drinking water, filtered by a carbon filter, reverse osmosis, or distillation, is ideal. By using pure water, you reduce the amount of toxins they are exposed to and make it easier for the kidneys to do their job. In fact, distilled water can even assist in flushing excess waste from the body. Keeping your dog well-hydrated helps support normal kidney filtration and can make a noticeable difference in how they feel.
To support itself, your dog’s body needs a full spectrum of nutrients in natural form. I incorporate plant-based vitamins and minerals from “superfoods” like grasses, sea vegetables, and algae (spirulina, chlorella, kelp, Irish sea moss, wheat grass, etc.). Nutrients from these sources are highly bioavailable, meaning your dog can absorb and use them efficiently. By contrast, synthetic vitamins (which are most common in the marketplace and often made from petrochemicals, rocks, or shells) can be hard to absorb and may even tax the body. I prefer to give nutrients as Mother Nature intended.
My heart-specific formulations work together to support healthy circulation, steady rhythm, and strong heart muscle function. Cleansing the kidneys and liver helps reduce the buildup of waste in the body, allowing these vital organs to work more efficiently. When the kidneys and liver are supported, the body does not have to divert extra energy toward processing toxins. This frees up energy for overall vitality and helps the heart focus on its essential work of maintaining strong, steady circulation.
Probably the most effective part of any natural health program, hydrotherapy has been used for centuries to support health by promoting blood flow. From Hippocrates in Greece, John Floyer in England, Vincenz Priessnitz and Sebastian Kneipp in Germany, to Benedict Lust, John Kellogg, and O G Carroll in North America, many leaders relied on hydrotherapy. Hot water draws blood to the skin’s surface, turning it red, relaxing the body by expanding blood vessels and loosening muscles. Cold water does the opposite; it contracts muscles and vessels, driving blood deeper into the body and organs. Alternating hot and cold boosts circulation. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell and organ, and when it is restricted, tissue dies. With a proper diet, hydrotherapy helps ensure nutrient-rich blood reaches every cell.
Don’t underestimate the power of regular exercise. Movement boosts circulation, helping blood flow through the heart, which supports oxygen delivery to tissues and helps maintain healthy blood pressure. Exercise also maintains muscle mass and joint flexibility, stimulates hormone production, and improves mood and appetite. Gentle, consistent activity supports the health and function of the heart while also stimulating the release of natural chemicals that reduce inflammation, support repair, and promote overall well-being.
Day by day, these steps lay a rock solid foundation for your dog's heart health. Stay consistent, and the compounding effect will bring results that feel nothing short of remarkable.
I know how heavy this worry feels right now. But here's what I want you to understand: this overwhelming concern you're carrying doesn't have to be your reality forever. There's a path forward where you can watch your dog with joy instead of fear.
Your dog's body has an incredible capacity to maintain health when given the right support. Everything they need is already inside them; we just need to give their body the tools to do what it's designed to do. You don't have to figure this out alone. My program gives you everything you need, step by step, to support your dog's heart health naturally. Let today be the start of your dog's journey to their best life.

Your Complete Program Includes Everything You Need
Hi and welcome! My name is Amanda Banting; I am an animal Herbalist and the founder of Five Leaf Pet Botanicals.
We have been helping dogs live happier, healthier, longer lives for over 23 years.
Five Leaf Pet Botanicals was not started as a business venture; it was started out of necessity for my dog and then yours.
Since 2002 I have personally spoken with over 20,000 (yes, that's a correct number!) pet owners who have given me feedback and new ideas. This is a large part of why our herbal formulae and programs are so sought after. We don’t just assume a certain herb works because we read it somewhere. I’m proud to say that Five Leaf Pet Botanicals knows what works because we use herbs and nutrition and see the results firsthand. Using the highest quality organic and wild-harvested herbs enables us to offer what we think is the best natural support available to obtain optimum health in your dog.
How it all began
In 2002, one of my seven dogs, Tom, a 60lb hound/retriever mix (he was 6 years old at the time and my eldest), was diagnosed with heart disease; he was given only 6–12 months to live. I was devastated. My dogs are my children, so I could not accept his prognosis. I was already practicing holistic care and was very knowledgeable in the power of herbs to support the body, but my education had focused on helping humans, not canines. I, like many other dog owners, thought dogs were dogs; they were fed kibble, brought for walks, given vaccines, and they would live into their teens, hopefully dying in their sleep.
Since all my dogs were still young and relatively healthy up until that point, I never had to think about using herbs and natural health protocols with them. Since the Vets had given me no hope for Tom and actually told me flat out, “There is no cure for heart disease.” I felt I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands and put a program together for Tom to help his body. I drew from my education and designed a program based on what I would do for a human in the same situation. I acquired such great knowledge from my mentors and teachers, Dr. John Christopher and Dr. Richard Schulze, and I put it all to work in Tom’s program. I started Tom on the program immediately. Six months after starting the program, I had another ultrasound performed, and I was told his heart looked great. They told me that I did not have to come back to get another ultrasound done unless his health changed. Tom went on to live for 8.5 years past the date he was diagnosed. He died naturally at the age of 14.5 years.
Having seven dogs at the time, I was involved in many doggy activities and knew many other dog owners, so by word of mouth, I began helping others who were concerned about their dog's heart health. I quickly realized that I had to make this same program available to other owners. After its launch in 2002 CanineHeartHealth.com was soon helping hundreds of owners who had concerns about their dogs' hearts.
In addition to this, many had concerns about their dogs' kidney and liver health. The Liver and Kidney herbs that are part of the Canine Heart Health Program were helping support the healthy function of these organs. To help my customers and their dogs, I decided we needed separate Kidney, Liver, and Heart Health programs for dogs that needed individual support.
That is how CanineKidneyHealth.com and CanineLiverHealth.com were born.
