Bach flower remedies for animals - horses, dogs and others!

Bach Flower Remedies

What are Bach Flower Remedies?

Dr Edward Bach (1886-1936) trained as a doctor in the 1910's and went on to develop this branch of homeopathy during the 1920's-1930's.  There are 38 remedies - some are made from flowers, whilst others are made from the flowers of trees, bushes and plants with water.  Dr Bach saw his therapy would benefit all living creatures and therefore the therapy is used both for humans and animals.  Many animals can benefit - including horses, cats, dogs, birds and other pets.

Flower remedies work by affecting the emotions and may help in many ways, including:

As with all alternative therapies please remember to contact your Veterinary Surgeon for advice before using.  In addition when dealing with a behavioural issue - please remember that no remedy can replace correct training. 

How long before the flower remedies will work?

If  the right remedies have been selected and properly administered, positive results are usually seen within two to three weeks, if not sooner than that.  As with any therapy/treatment, results depend on the individual animal.

Administering flower remedies to animals

The remedies are used by giving 3 or 4 drops to the animal - either in drinking water or by putting drops on your hand and letting the animal lick them off. They can be used in combination and repeated 2-4 times daily until a change is noted or the stressful situation has passed, (if it is particularly stressed, the remedies maybe administered more frequently).  In addition you can add the remedies to snacks or training rewards (eg. biscuit), to assist with your animals learning.  

For safety do notadminister drops direct from the dropper into an animal’s mouth - as the dropper tube is made of thin glass and could be extremely harmful if bitten off and swallowed.
