As a pet owner myself, I know how precious pets are. It can be distressing to both the animal and the owner when a loved pet is stressed and anxious. Sometimes, a dog may start to exhibit signs of anxiety or behavioral disorders when there has been a major change in their life - moving house, a new baby, a bereavement, or simply a change in routine.

Or, it may be a rescue dog or a recent adoptee, adapting to a new life. Older rescue dogs may have some abuse or neglect in their background which understandably has caused them to have anxiety or other behavioral issues such as being reactive or fearful. 

The great news is, that the right Homeopathic remedy can help turn these behaviors around and gently ease these fears and anxieties. Animals respond beautifully to Homeopathy! 

For animals that have had issues for a long period of time, please be patient. Like any chronic (long lasting complaint), it can take time to see a complete reversal of symptoms. The remedies outlined below are a guide only.

 

For more severe cases, please contact me and I can work out a programme to get your loved pet back on tothe  path to happiness.
