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
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.
The fear category for the remedies is one that you may want to consider first.
Aspen (unknown fear)- is for pets that appear to panic or be 'jumpy' or seem to be anxious.
Cherry Plum (fear of losing control) is for pets that tend to respond to fearful situations with actions such as biting, running or harmful to itself in any way.
Mimulus (known fear) is for pets that are fearful of travelling in a car or plane.
Red Chestnut (fearful for the safety of others) is for pets that are overly protective of their litter.
Rock Rose (extreme fear/terror) is for when a pet is 'frozen' with terror.
