This week let's talk about stress -- and a great product to have in your Natural Doggie Medicine Cabinet which will help your pooch combat it.
If your dog suffers from anxiety, be it from thunderstorms, trips to the vet, or too many "festive” holiday visitors, Bach’s "Rescue Remedy” is a must have in your Natural Doggie Medicine Cabinet.
Developed by Dr. Edward Bach in England in the 1930s, flower essences are made from plants, trees and bushes. "Rescue Remedy” is actually a combo of five flower essences. It was specially formulated to "take the edge off” of anxious pets (and people -- try squirting some in your mouth the next time you‘re stuck in bumper-to-bumper.) It’s not sedating and, like homeopathics, will not interact with any medications the pet is currently taking.
Our Beagle, Oliver, suffers from 2-3 seizures a year, a result of being overinnoculated at the shelter we rescued him from. When he has a seizure, we grab the "Rescue Remedy” and put it directly on his gums.
It’s amazing. Within seconds, his muscles relax and he is able to get up on all fours. "Rescue Remedy” helps to cut down the length of his seizures. This safe and effective remedy can be used in combination with any anti-seizure medication your dog is currently taking.
