NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 23 -- Whether you're entertaining or traveling this holiday season, disruptions in a household's daily routine can negatively affect your pet's behavior. Recent research shows that upwards of 10.7 million pets in the United States suffer from separation anxiety, resulting in inappropriate, unwanted behaviors. While the trend toward the use of pharmaceutical drugs to deal with animals' separation anxiety and other complex stress-related emotions is on the rise, many pet owners are turning to all-natural alternative solutions including Bach® Original Flower Remedies. A few drops of the Bach Remedy Walnut in your pet's water bowl can help with the adjustment to these temporary changes.
According to Margo Roman, DVM, "Animals have complex feelings. Pets can experience separation anxiety, anger, fear, boredom, loneliness, jealousy and other sophisticated emotions." Dr. Roman, a board member of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, explains, "If left untreated, these intense feelings can lead to unwanted behaviors -- a dog with a propensity to bite, a cat that continually urinates on the carpet, a bird that pulls out his feathers each time his owner leaves the house."
With the holidays around the corner, many pets will have to deal with being left behind and different types of people in the house. Dr. Roman recommends pet owners consider flower remedy therapy should their pets experience any of the following:
-- Excessive barking or hissing
-- Constant licking or nibbling
-- Separation anxiety
-- Fear of loud noises including thunderstorms
-- Travel or change in routine
The Bach Original Flower Remedy Walnut can be used with RESCUE® Remedy Pet to help with these adjustments. Rescue Remedy Pet is a variation of the original stress relieving remedy available for more than 70 years. Alcohol free, Rescue Remedy Pet is available in dropper format, allowing pet owners to easily administer it to their pets. Not habit forming it is suitable for use on pets of all shapes and sizes, including reptiles, fish (add to water), birds, cats, dogs, horses and rabbits. Dosage is 4 drops, given several times a day.
The Bach Original Flower Remedies and Rescue Remedy Pet are available nationally at Whole Foods and anywhere natural products are sold. They can also be purchased online at www.rescueremedy.com/pets or at www.bachremedies.com
