Bach Flower Remedies for Pets

Sep 16, 2023

Bach remedies can help your pets 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 point of view. How would your pet live if given the choice? Has something changed at home that might have scared or upset him?

For most simple situations, you can choose them yourself

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

The amount to be taken is the same as that of a human. It is safer to dilute medicines to minimize the alcohol content, especially when giving to birds and other small animals. We recommend making a personal mix and giving the drops from it to a treat.

How to mix and take Bach remedies

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

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 insights from animal behavior experts and include real-life case studies that illustrate the treatments used.

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