How to Give Flower Essences to Your Pet

Healthy Food | Healthy Skin | Pet Insurance | Hip Problems | Fitness

Many pet owners have questions about how to give flower essences to their pet. When you purchase a bottle of Bach Flower Essences or any other brand of flower essence it will come in a small amber-colored bottle.

You only need to use a small amount of the solution at a time. One bottle will probably last you for several years (keep an eye on the expiration date). Store it at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Also make sure you keep flower essences away from television sets, microwave ovens and other electrical applicances.

There are actually several ways to give flower essences to your pet. Choose the method that is easiest for you and insures that your pet receives the correct dosage.

Method #1: Apply Directly to Mouth

Flower essences come with a medicine dropper attached to the lid. Simply place four drops of the essence directly into your pet’s mouth. Under the tongue is best. However, most animals don’t like the taste of flower essences and will probably not like this method too much!

Method #2: Apply to Nose, Lips, or Paw Pads

Place four drops either on your pet’s nose, lips, or paw pads. He will either lick it off or it will be absorbed directly into the skin.

Method #3: Apply to Drinking Water

You can place 4 drops of the essence into your pet’s drinking water. Do this several times a day.

Method #4: Prepare a Treatment Spray Bottle

Add four drops to a small spray bottle containing water. Mist the air around your pet with the spray bottle. (Some pets may not like being sprayed or misted with water as they have associated it with a form of punishment).

Feel free to use a combination of the above methods to ensure that your pet receives treatment as least four times daily. For example, if you are only able to apply the essences directly in his mouth in the morning and the evening that’s fine. Just place a couple of drops in his drinking water before you leave for work.

Giving more drops will not harm your pet but it probably won’t help him either. Only a small amount of flower essence is needed to have the desired effect. You are only wasting the flower essence by giving more than what’s needed.

Keep your pet on the essence regimen until you see noticeable and stabilized results. In some cases results will be seem immediately. In other cases this may take between five days and two weeks.

If no changes are seen within this time frame it’s usually one of three problems: The best choice of essence(s) is not being used, dosage directions are not being properly followed, or (gasp) the owner, not the pet, is the cause of the problem.
