Chamomile while one of the herbal remedies for humans can also benefit canines, this is a safe sedative for the dog with inflamed eyes, and other inflammation of the skin. This can also be used safely to calm a nervous canine.

One of the problems that is associated with chamomile is that some canines may have an allergic reaction, this means that prior to using it to treat inflamed areas or eyes it should be tested on the skin prior to using a full treatment on the canine. The treatment of inflamed areas or eyes with chamomile is done by using teabags applied to the area at least twice daily. This is also true when using it to calm a nervous dog, trying it on a patch of skin prior to use internally is advised.

This type of herbal treatment when used internally should be done with the supervision of a veterinarian to ensure the canine herbal treatment is safe for the dog it is being used for as an herbal remedy.
