Special Information on the Pet Food Recall
Protection For Your Pet..Boarding or Traveling...Well, 'tis the Season and all that...but it's also the most common time of year for boarding pets as people travel to visit family. Although this started out as a site for Kennel Cough, which probably the most common affiliction of dogs and cats (sometimes) after being put in a kennel or boarding facility, I've been constantly adding pages on other dog/pet issues. When boarding your dog, besides the obvious considerations of finding a clean, friendly kennel, owned by people who love dogs, there are things you can do to maximize the odds of them staying healthy while you're away. I've written at length about the valuable, safe and effective treatment of kennel cough by homeopathic remedies (Home page)...but one thing that should also be addressed is the pining or grief animals feel when they are away from their beloved owners. Animals form very deep attachments to their owners and to each other and are sensitive to our moods and everyday stresses. After all – that is what makes them such great friends and companions! Sadness or animal depression can seriously affect their immune system and make them more prone to surrounding infections. It can also lead to destructive behaviour or aggression, depending on the animal..none of which you want. Here is what I recommend. Use the three remedies below: Immunity and Liver, KC Defense and Grief and Pining. Two days before boarding your dog/cat..give them one dose of Immunity and Liver and one dose of KC Defense each day. On the day you leave, give a dose of Grief and Pining. Have the care-givers give a dose of the Immunity and Liver Support and a dose of KC Defense each day and a dose of the Grief and Pining at night.
For those who are taking your pet with you..here are a couple of great suggestions. It's hard for many pets to travel and they do suffer from motion sickness..and the anxiety of being in a vehicle..confined and sensing the motion.
About a half hour before leaving give your pet a dose of each remedy..separating the doses by 10 minutes or so. If they show anxiety or stress during the trip, dose again. This can be several times. Make sure NOT to feed them for at least a hour before getting into the car or vehicle. Take a favourite blanket along to make your pet feel at home. Ventilate the car well..don't let it get stuffy. Take several breaks for water and a little exercise/fresh air. Warmly,
