Bach Remedies for Pets

Pets are affected by stress, too!
The original Rescue Remedy works equally well as an all-natural stress reliever for your animal companions!

Our pets are an important part of our families. So, when something seems to be wrong, it's a great worry because they cannot tell us how they feel. If you have concerns, first have your pet examined by your veterinarian to ensure there is nothing physically wrong. Then, determine which Bach Flower Remedies might help with their emotions by reviewing THIS CHART.

To start with, try one remedy at a time to monitor the response. If a particular remedy is not needed it will cause no harm.

All natural Bach Flower Remedies can help pets with:

• Visits to the vet
• Adapting to new surroundings
• Fear of loud noises
• Excessive barking or hissing.
• Separation anxiety
• Shock, trauma or mistreatment
• Obsessive cleansing
• Any emergency situation

To choose the remedies that are right for your pet, ask yourself:

• Are they a social or solitary species?
• Are they a predator or prey animal?
• Are they territorial, home ranging or nomadic?
• What behaviour is innate to this breed?
• Are they allowed to act out their normal behaviour?
• Are they being managed properly?
• Are they in fear or distress?
• Are they in discomfort?
• Has the situation at home changed, new pet or
  family member or different work schedule?

Dosage for Pets

Short-term use:

• Two drops from each selected remedy or four drops of Rescue Remedy.
• Dilute in a teaspoon of water before administering by mouth.
• If you have any concerns, always seek the advice from your veterinarian.

For longer-term use:

• Make up a treatment bottle using a 30 ml bottle of spring water. Add two drops of each individual remedy and four drops of Rescue Remedy (up to seven remedies maximum).
• Store at room temperature.
• Dose is four drops from this bottle
• Give at least four doses daily.
• Use until symptoms improve.
• If you have any concerns, always seek the advice from your veterinarian.

Administering Bach Flower Remedies to Pets:

Pick the one that works for you!

• Drip the remedies onto pads, paws, nose or ears so they will be absorbed through the skin or licked off.
• Put into food, onto pet treats or in their water.
• If pets share water, the remedies won't have affects on other pets if they don't need them.
• There is no worry of over-dosing.

The Fine Print

• Bach Flower Remedies, including Rescue Remedy, will not change the inherent temperament of a particular breed or animal, but will help bring them into balance.
• The remedies do not treat any medical conditions directly.
• If you are in any doubt about the health of your pet, seek the advice of a veterinarian.
• Seek veterinary advice if your animal is allergic to alcohol or is taking a medicine that is contraindicated with alcohol.
• Note on alcohol content:
• The remedies are preserved in 27% grape alcohol and should be diluted in water (2 drops of individual remedies or 4 of Rescue Remedy) to minimize the alcohol content or it can be administered topically without diluting.

Testimonials:

I what to let to you know what about our experience using Bach Flower Remedies for our dogs. Our dog has been pretty excitable in the past. Since we have been using one of your remedy mixtures, we have noticed how much calmer he has become. He loves taking the mixture right out of the palm of my hand. As soon as he sees the bottle he comes over to me wagging his tail. When he had recently had surgery, the mixture that you gave us for him helped him with the healing. He is much easier to handle and more controllable, yet this has not changed his personality. Another one of our dogs used to suffer from separation anxiety and, after giving her some Bach Flower Remedy, we have not noticed her acting anxious at all anymore.

Our rescue dogs Rufus and Brutus came with their own little bundle of joy and 'issues'. Brutus in particular does not enjoy outings in crowded areas and especially riding on the ferry, which we take quite often. Our friends suggested Rescue Remedy. We tried it and completely fell in love with the product. Rescue Remedy does not 'tranquilize' Brutus like Gravol does. It just takes away the 'edge'. After giving it to Brutus, he listens and focuses better in stressful situations and is definitely calmer... but still very alert and playful! We have not encountered any side effect and he accepts the squirts into the mouth with a smile. Definitely a lifesaver because now we can take him to more places and ferry rides are more pleasant.
