Dosing Guidelines

We recommend starting with 3 or 4 times a day, for 2 weeks. Once improvement is established, usually within 2-4 weeks, you can wean the animal off by gradually decreasing the frequency of administration.

Adding a few drops to the drinking water as well as once-a-day administration will probably be adequate. Some animals may need to remain on essence treatment long term, and some may see resolution very quickly.

We have also found that most animals will also benefit from long-term administration of a maintenance formula.

Additional Tips

If the dropper contacts anything outside the bottle, simply rinse the dropper in hot running water for about 30 seconds before replacing it in the bottle.

Alcohol is used as a preservative in flower essences. If you find that your animal friend is averse to the smell, we usually recommend just opening the bottle and letting it air for about 10 minutes before use. While that helps, there will definitely be residual smell. if your animal friend is very sensitive, here's another tip:

Spirit Essences and other Family Members

Sometimes our animal companions express emotions or behaviors that reflect other influences in the environment. They often mirror stresses occurring in their human companions' lives or relationships, which the humans may not even be aware of.

It is thought that animals may even take on such stresses in order to shield us from them. It may be of benefit, in such cases, to consider essence therapy for the human members of the family. At the least, using Spirit Essences in spray form throughout the house can only benefit the entire family.
