Bach Flower Remedy for Dog & Cat

When I tell people that their dogs and cats have feelings and emotions, some people laugh.
They are not bad people, but they probably never think about their own feelings, either.
If you care about your feelings, then you must know and feel that your dogs and cats have feelings as much as we do; they may even be more sensitive than humans.

Some dogs/cats are very shy, and we think they are quiet and good, but they might be feeling anxious, but we don’t know.
Some dogs are very expressive (either happiness, fear, irritation, etc.) but unable to show us calmly, so to us, they are barkers.
Some dogs/cats also worry a lot about us which may create anxiety.
If you leave your dogs/cats home alone, they may feel very lonely or sad.
If you have a stressful day, your dogs and cats automatically pick up on your stress and feel it, too.
Dogs/cats adopted from animal shelters or rescue groups might have a hard time adjusting to their new environments and/or show signs of prior trauma.

They sense they go to a vet for a check-up and get scared or/and stress out. They need to adjust when and after they have surgery (including spaying or neutering), and if they cannot transition smoothly, they suffer.

I highly recommend Bach Flower Remedy for dogs/cats—especially during traumatic times, such as when you first bring them into your home or if they are home alone all the time or have separation anxiety or need adjustment for transition or adapting to a new environment/guest and more.

Bach remedies and animals

That’s right: Dogs and cats have feelings, too.
They feel fear, anger, jealousy, depression, happiness and joy, just like we do.

The Bach Flower Remedies can help our dogs and cats when they have negative emotions, just as they help us when we are emotionally out of balance. Unfortunately, many people think we cannot ask our pets why they act depressed. However, we do know if they miss a friend or get overly excited around new people, and that is how we select the correct remedies for them.

I am available for Bach Flower consultation to support your dog and cat family emotional issues.
