The Natural Approach

For acute or sudden onset of symptoms

The selected remedy should be given at the rate of one tablet every hour for up to ten doses, then one tablet every twelve hours for two to three days.

For long-standing or chronic conditions

Give one tablet three times a day for fourteen days and repeat if symptoms recur.

As soon as there is any improvement in the animal's condition the remedy must be reduced or stopped.

If there has been no response after two to three weeks an alternative remedy may be required.

How to give homeopathic tablets

It is preferable to give homeopathic remedies to your pet between meals without food. If, however this proves difficult the tablet can be crushed between two clean teaspoons and the powder either tipped onto the tongue, or added to water. You should try to handle the remedy as little as possible but if you do, make sure your hands are clean and dry.

Selecting the Remedy

For some longstanding or recurrent problems you may find that more than one remedy is identified for use.

When ill, animals like people, suffer not only from the classic symptoms of the disease, but also from other symptoms which are unique to each individual. A homeopathic remedy is selected to match the individual's response to an illness. This is why two animals suffering from the same problem may require different remedies.

It is helpful if the owner can note the various symptoms and characteristics the animal displays, so that the most appropriate remedy may be identified for use from the information provided.

How to store homeopathic remedies

The tablets should remain in the bottle in which they were supplied. The container should be kept in a dry place away from sunlight and strong smells.

Homeopathic remedies should be supplied in an inert substance such as glass bottles or phials as other mediums can mar the efficacy of the remedy.
