For the pet who hides, cowers, shakes or panics — and for the fear you cannot love away.

• A gentle flower essence blend for the water bowl or the food
• Used before vet visits, storms, fireworks, travel and competitions
• Safe for daily use, and safe for feral and semi-wild animals

What you might be seeing

Hiding, cowering, drooling, panting, shaking, or peeing when frightened. Cats under the bed or at the back of a dark closet. Dogs rolling over at a stranger’s approach or a loud noise.

Trips to the vet, new situations, thunder, fireworks, gunshots, competitions, past mistreatment — all of it deserves support.

Fear runs deeper than a safe home can reach

The fight-or-flight instinct is alive and well in domesticated animals, not just wild ones. Their native instincts sit just under the surface, which is why a pet in a familiar, safe household can still be frightened much of the time.

Early abuse and abandonment are not easy memories to overcome with love and kindness alone. This is where flower essences can bring real comfort.

A note on feral cats

Feral cats often become tamer with this formula. A few drops in their food and water, and over time it can become possible to touch them, and even to catch them — useful when they need to get to a vet to be spayed or neutered.

Around surgery

Our homeopathic veterinarian, Dr. Don Hamilton, liked to use Anxiety and Fear before surgery. We suggest Life Force Zest afterwards.

How to use it

A few drops in the water bowl or on the food, two to four times a day. Give it before a known trigger where you can — the morning of the vet visit, the afternoon before a storm.

Often used alongside

Emotional Stability for upheaval and change, Thunder Storms for weather and fireworks, and Calming Solution for everyday restlessness.
