Is Rescue Remedy for Dogs, Cats and other animals safe?

I have been using and recommending Dr Bach’s Rescue Remedy®& full Range of Bach Flower®remedies to people and animals since 1987. I love how the Dr Bach Flower Remedies and other remedies help people and animals!

Dr Bach’s Rescue Remedy®is made from 5 of the 38 complete Dr Bach®Remedy Range which can help to balance the emotions and treat challenging mental states in humans and animals.

Rescue Remedy®- consists of five flower essence originally created by Dr Bach back in the early 1930′s and 1936 Dr Edward Bach had created a complete system of 38 Bach Flowers.

Rescue Remedy®can be used for Pets has 5 flower remedies, the combination, which contains an equal amount each of Rock Rose, Cherry Plum, Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and can have a non-alcoholic base made on Apple Cider Vinegar as a preserve or Vegetable Glycerine (animals do better without alcohol)and will not cause any harm as it only contains microscopic amounts of plant extract- it is not a Canine and Feline Medicine but a treatment of an emotion that may be triggering a certain behaviour, that maybe causing challenges, in moments such as stress, accidents to help with the shock.

Rescue Remedy may help to provide some relief for stress and shock but when the emotional challenges are on going some of the other 38 remedies may be needed for the desired out come. You can still have Rescue Remedy as a Base and add up to 6 other Bach Flower Remedies for more specific emotional challenges.
