Bach Flower Remedies for Pets
Help Your Pets Overcome Their Depression or Anxiety With Bach Flower Remedies
Our pets can get just as depressed or nervous as we do. Lots of situations can bring their sad side out, like the absence or loss of an owner or someone who was close to them. They can get nervous simply from going to the vet or from fireworks outside.

Unfortunately, we can’t make them understand that the fireworks are harmless and will go away and that only time can cure the sorrow after a beloved one’s loss.
If you want to soothe your pet’s nerves, TAGS recommends using Bach flower remedies, a natural option to help your pet (or even yourself) overcome such emotions. These remedies were developed by Edward Bach in the 1930s. Bach discovered that the dew found on the petals of flowers contains the healing properties of that plant.
The remedies nowadays are made from spring water infused with wildflowers, and the ones that are safe for animals (alcohol free) are preserved with glycerin. They are considered vibrational medicines and rely on the concept of “water memory.” Despite often being labelled as homeopathic, they do not bear the same characteristics.
