Flower Essences

Ferndale, WA: Flower essences are dilute extracts of various types of flowers and plants that are used to treat animals and people. They are similar to homeopathic remedies and herbal remedies and like homeopathic remedies they are diluted and potentized to make them more effective than just using the original flower as a herbal extract.

The person who first developed the original flower remedies was Dr. Edward Bach, a famous English physician. He developed the Bach Flower Remedies when he was working as a homeopathic practitioner and devoted the last years of his life to researching and developing his remedies, from 1930 onwards. He wanted to find a simpler form of treatment that would not require anything to be destroyed or altered.

Dr. Edward Bach

Dr. Bach believed that diseases of the body come about as a result of imbalances or negativity at the level of the soul, and by correcting the problem here, healing would result and the body would heal on all levels. The flower remedies act to balance and harmonize in the emotional and spiritual body, and bring about a gentle healing by bringing the body back in balance with itself. They act almost as a catalysts to cause healing. There were originally thirty eight Bach Flower Remedies that at that time Dr. Bach felt would correct all imbalances that were possible. There are remedies such as Holly which he found would heal the state of anger, and open the heart, and remedies that deal with a variety of other emotions from lack of confidence to over enthusiasm and impatience.

Animals respond very well to Bach Flower remedies and seem to have similar emotional imbalances that can be corrected with the appropriate remedy.

The flowers are gathered from nature when they are just at the point of perfection and it is important that the flowers are free from any toxins and preservatives. The remedies are made by leaving the flower out in the sun and the extracted essence is then diluted in water and preserved with alcohol to make a mother tincture. The resulting remedy is then diluted in spring water to make a solution that can be taken by an animal or a person.

Rescue Remedy is the Most Famous Pet Treatment

Subsequent to Bach’s work other Flower Essence Societies have been formed and remedies have been developed that are appropriate to that particular area, or the times we are living in. The most important of these are the California Flower Essences that are developed from native American plants in the Sierra Nevada foothills in California. The Flower Essence Society has developed an extensive research program and been very important in helping people understand and use Flower Remedies as a healing tool.

16 Great Pet Business Ideas

Here are 16 great Pet Business Ideas for anyone interested in getting into the industry. Their are good profits to be had and many niches that you can get into; and another interesting things is, at least from my experience, is that the up-front capital required to just open the door or hang up a sign is quite low compared to other businesses. Take for example a Pet Sitting Business or a Dog Walking Business. Marketing to build awareness would be the only major up-front cost. One woman I know makes over $100,000 a year in direct salary from her own dog walking business. Kinda beats most corporate jobs don’t you think? So think about the following ideas and feel free to contact us should you like more ideas, thoughts and opinions. We’d also be happy to review your business plan and give you feedback.

Background on the Industry

In the United States, essentially the pet business is exploding and has done so right through the recession. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), in their comprehensive annual review, the industry churned up about $43.2 billion worth of sales last year on animals, food, supplies, veterinary care, grooming, boarding and pet sitting and the annual spend is poised to reach $47.7 billion in 2010 — a jump of about 5%.  North Americans are so willing to put their money where their hearts are and that’s directly into pets. Good luck and timing is every thing. For the pet business that means right now! As Nike says, “Just Do It!”

Pets Add to Our Lives

Ferndale, WA: Pets play a vital  role in our lives. Whether its a dog that makes you feel great around the Christmas tree or a cat curled up beside your elderly aunt, pets provide comfort and help us emotionally smile and live a life that is hopefully stress free. Indeed, dogs,  cats and horses, turtles, hamsters and goldfish, pets teach us about caring for something smaller than ourselves and also teach us about love and kindness. I think they say everything about us as a person and our approach to daily life. In fact research shows that pets provide ‘life lessons’ about love and caring and they improve our physical and emotional well being.

Pet Health Questions & Health Concerns

Since we share so much in common with pets we also by default share their health concerns. We get worried when they suffer from separation anxiety, allergies, cushings disease, ear infections, skin disorders, etc.  I’d say we ‘humanize’ them, feeling their pain and almost feeling their suffering. The close relationship is often so big and so profound that when one of our pets gets very very sick and then passes we grieve as much as if we had lost a true family member.

When our pets get sick or we have a health concern typically the first thing we do is call the vet. After all they are trusted and trained. In more acute health challenges veterinarians (as we see in allopathic traditional human medicine) prescribe drugs and typically what these drugs do is suppress the symptoms and so begins a very interesting dance – in that as the symptoms begin to aggravate and become worse stronger drugs are prescribed more frequently. The drugs attack the health disorder with side effects and they seem to cure cure the disorder only to have the heath disorder return with increased discomfort when the drugs are stopped.

Enter the era of alternative therapy, which according to research firm Packaged Facts has seen double digit growth at up 1.15 billion over last year(1). Alternative ‘holistic’ pet medicine is growing in popularity because it is filling a gap that traditional veterinary vmedicine cannot meet;  and as costs of traditional veterinary drugs and vet visits climbs more pet owners are turning to alternative healing modalities to help their companion animals with not only treatment but with prevention too.

In our company we say you can think about alternative healing modalities and preventative care such as homeopathy and herbal remedies and Bach flower essences — which work very well but not instantly. What seems to bug people about alternative medicine is that it doesn’t work instantly, but we say nothing in nature does. Its us humans that invented the idea of instant cure so this is carried into allopathic traditional medicine everywhere. Natural medicine takes time sometimes as much as 90 days and often the pet or even the patient feels terrible whilst on the medications – as an aside this is nothing to fear it is called medically ’sign of progress’ – meaning you often feel worse whilst your body adapts to heal itself on the road to recovery.

Avoid Low Grade Garden Variety Commercial Pet Food

To  our way of thinking the first thing you have to think about to help your pet is to avoid commercial pet food meaning those with high fat content or excessive grains or chemicals. Even then many pet foods lack essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids vital for your pet’s health. On the market today there are stunning new natural health diet supplements such as Nordic Naturals or Udo’s  Choice that are chaulk full of the nutrients and vitamins required for a normal diet – essentially they put back in what the processing and manufacturing of pets food leaves out.

In addition, natural pet health care products help with joint pain recovery, motion sickness, nerve calming, muscle relaxants, digestive health, skin and fur health and eye drops for clarity, oral health, weight control and bladder i.e. urinary health. Also available are natural shampoos and insect repellents for our pet’s comfort and health. We even have available to us, natural aromatherapy products to control unwanted order and enhance our pet’s emotional well being.

Happiness is Pets

Bottom line, we are grateful for the lessons that our pets have taught and continue to teach us. We can actively demonstrate our appreciation, respect and responsibility for our animal friends, by attending to their physical and, yes, emotional health by providing our pets with natural pet health care products that keep them safe, healthy, vibrant, and active. Our efforts are beyond obligation. Our caring for our pets is motivated by our gratitude and love.

FERNDALE, WA: Eee gads, what is that horrid smell? Good people, unfortunately its your dog’s ear and it caused by bacteria and is likely an ear infection that’s acting up.

Pet ear infections are one of the most common ailments that veterinarians see patients for. So before we begin with helpful tips, lets come up with a list of symptoms.  First of all, head shaking, scratchy neck or ears, holding one ear flopped over or rubbing neck and ears into the carpet — are all symptoms of a possible ear infection. Some ear infections have a powerful odor to them, anything from a sweaty sock smell all the way up to foul rotten egg style stench, so use your nose (oh my my) to determine where the smell is coming from, whether its coming from your pet’s mouth, its skin or the ears.

Why do dogs get ear infections? The three most common reasons are: Number 1, the natural configuration of your dog’s ear and ear canal. Number 2 underlying allergies, and number 3 inadequate drawing after moisture has been introduced into the ear, and sometimes a combination of all three reasons.

Fight Ear Infections Use All Natural Herbal Ear Rinse

So what can you do to reduce the possibility of your dog getting an ear infection? First of all when bathing your dog avoid getting moisture in the ears. Use an ear cleaner to actually clean the ears (see our Animals Apawthecary Herbal Ear Rinse CLICK HERE); put the ear cleaner in the ears, then massage the ear base then wipe the excess off with cotton balls or ear wipes. If you think your pet might have a food allergy, try a hypo  allergenic diet (ask your vet);  also after swimming, if your dog likes to swim, make sure you use an ear cleaner at the end of the day. Finally if you suspect your dog has an ear infection and whatever you are doing isn’t working, see your vet right away.
