Bach blossom for pets

Sep 16, 2023

Bach remedies can help your animals in exactly the same way they help you and the rest of your family.

The key is to try to see the situation from your pet's perspective. How would your pet live if they had the choice? Has anything changed in the house that might have scared or upset them?

For most simple situations, you can choose the options yourself.

Flower remedies, safely, knowing that this is a simple and gentle therapeutic system where in the worst case you will not harm the animal.

The amount to be taken is the same as for humans. It is safer to dilute medications to minimize the alcohol content, especially when giving them to birds and other small animals. We recommend making a personal mixture and giving the drops of it in a treat.

How to mix and take Bach remedies

Our Pharmacy has alcohol-free treatments, which can be a good option for animals and anyone who wants to avoid alcohol. But common medications bottled in alcohol are perfectly safe as long as they are diluted. (Learn more here about how you can dilute and drink the Flower Medicines)

Recommended books

Reading one of the recommended books can help you choose solutions to an everyday problem:

Bach Flower Remedies for Animals by Stefan Ball and Judy Ramsell Howard
Emotional Therapy for Cats by Stefan Ball and Judy Ramsell Howard
Emotional Healing for Horses and Ponies by Stefan Ball, Heather Simpson and Judy Ramsell Howard

These books are based on knowledge from animal behavior experts and include real case studies that demonstrate the treatments used.

Bach remedies should always and only be chosen for emotional conditions. Veterinary care may be necessary when there are medical conditions or injuries that need diagnosis and treatment. Be wary of books that incorrectly link flower remedies to specific physical disorders. They may lead you to provide inappropriate help and delay necessary veterinary intervention.
