I met the obedience trainer, Sherri, that is hosting training classes at A Dog's Dream for the first time about two months ago. During our conversation we somehow got on the topic of Bach Flower Essences for pets. To be quite honest, I had never heard of this before or any real holistic treatments for pets. Sherri is a huge fan of holistic pet care, so she explained some of the methods that she used with her pets and dogs that she had in her house for boarding. I made a quick note of it in my notebook just in case some of my boarding customers' pets needed some treatment at some point. Little did I know how useful this information would be to me.
As mentioned in an earlier blog, Eddie is becoming more and more afriad of strange things around the house. One of the worst times of day for him is when we are in the kitchen cooking dinner. The second we open a cupboard to get out a pot, pan, or mixing bowl he is hightailing it upstairs. Since the problem was getting worse by the week, I decided that maybe I should try Sherri's suggested remedy- Bach Flower Essences.
I purchased the Calming drops for Eddie, and as an added bonus I got a small bottle of the Anxiety drops for free! We have been putting the Anxiety drops in Eddie's water for about a month now, and although he's not a completely different dog, he has certainly shown a vast improvement. He's now a lot more curious about what's going on the in kitchen and usually stays while we cook the whole meal. It may be a small step for most, but for us (and Eddie) it means the world!
