Why Olive Leaf Powder Might Be the Missing Piece in Your Pet’s Health Routine
Discover the benefits of olive leaf powder for dogs and cats — from yeast overgrowth to UTI support, arthritis relief, kennel cough assistance and immune health. Learn how to use it and why it’s a Pet Grocer™ favourite.
Nature’s Antibiotic — for Pets and People
Olive leaf powder may not be the first supplement you think of, but it’s one of our best powerhouse secrets at Pet Grocer™. Packed with antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant power, this humble leaf can do a whole lot of good — naturally!
What Is Olive Leaf Powder?
Sourced from the olive tree, the leaves contain oleuropein, a plant-based polyphenol compound known for its immune-supporting, anti-inflammatory, and pathogen-fighting properties.
We carry an organic, human-grade powder, carefully sourced and packaged in-house so you know exactly what you're giving your pet.
What It Helps With:
Whether you’re caring for a senior dog, a yeast-prone pup, or a diabetic kitty, olive leaf powder may offer support. It's been used for:
- Allergic dermatitis (itching caused by something your pet is intolerant to)
- Wound and skin irritation
- FIV & FeLV in cats
- UTIs and bladder infections
- Yeast overgrowth (candida)
- Kennel cough & mild infections
- Intestinal parasites
- Arthritis & osteoarthritis
- Diabetes & blood sugar regulation
- Immune support & antioxidant boost
- Post-tick bite infection prevention
- Mild laxative & natural diuretic support
- Cancer support
How to Use It
We recommend:
- Mixing into food once per day, at breakfast (due to the body’s circadian rhythm).
- Pairing it with a digestive supplement given before breakfast in a small bit of food if yeast is a concern.
- Always check with your holistic vet, especially if your pet is diabetic or on medications, as olive leaf powder can lower blood sugar levels.
For People Too
When someone in the house starts to feel under the weather, we make a strong olive leaf tea using our organic, human grade powder. It’s a tried-and-true herbal helper that supports your immune system — just like it does for your pets.
Caught a Yeast Issue Early?
We offer our olive leaf powder as a gentle, affordable option for mild yeast cases. For more advanced cases, we recommend kits from Adored Beast or Four Leaf Rover, which bundle anti-fungals and support supplements all in one. Yeast can be a tough and longer battle to help support your pet through. We have a dedicated blog and podcast to help with that. Click on the links to reach them.
