Fennel seeds are very good for trapped wind - maybe your dogs are self-medicating!

Hi John fennel has a taste/scent of aniseed something most dogs love.
As Malka says there could be an element of self medication too .

Interesting. Collie eats nettles every time she finds them. They are they know now pain relieving and she has arthritis

She was neglected and ran wild years and seems to have this knowledge in her. Makes me cringe to see her mouthing them...
