The Pet Blends® don't have to be given forever! Usually one or two bottles, given in succession, is often enough to improve your pet's behaviour sufficiently, over time as the bottle is finished.
Most owners observe improvement after administering one complete bottle (one bottle per animal).
Some animals may need to have a few more bottles, in succession, this depends on the depth or complexity of their problem and, of course, if the correct Pet Blend has been chosen for them. If you need advice on which Pet Blend to choose please try our PET BLEND FINDER
Many animals, particularly dogs, will also benefit from using the Pet Blends® alongside professional training techniques plus a good healthy diet, rewards for good behaviour and plenty of exercise.
Occasionally some animals may return to their old ways (their unwanted behaviours) over their lifetime. If so another course of Pet Blends® can be given. Some animals may benefit from a Personalised Blend - especially if they have complex problems requiring individual attention (see below).
For any animals who don't show sufficient improvement from taking their Pet Blend this may be for a number of reasons, for example; the choice of Blend may not be quite right for that animal’s problem, or the animal may additionally benefit from a change in circumstances, handling, environment, training etc. Furthermore, some animals may instead require a specially-made Personalised Blend for their individual problem.

Pet Blends® FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions... and Answers
Five of our Pet Blends® (Comfort, Courage, Vigour, Mellow and Balance) should be given 3 times daily - until the bottle is finished - like a course of treatment. See instructions on label.
Large animals, such as horses, will finish their bottle sooner (around 2 1/2 weeks) because they are given more drops in each dosage.
The 6th Pet Blend - 'Relax' does not have to be given every day. Usually only when needed.
The Pet Blends® have a shelf-life of 2 years from when bottled.
Using a sample of your pet's fur, mane or feathers our Flower Essence Practitioner will make a special Blend with ingredients specially chosen to help address your pet's specific and individual emotional or behavioural needs.
Consultations can be provided postally.
Some animals may need to have a few more bottles, in succession, this depends on the depth or complexity of their problem and, of course, if the correct Pet Blend has been chosen for them.
Occasionally some animals may return to their old ways (their unwanted behaviours) over their lifetime. If so another course of Pet Blends® can be given.
Some animals may benefit from a Personalised Blend - especially if they have complex problems (contact us for more details on Personalised Blends).
For help choosing the correct Pet Blend please use our Pet Blend Finder.
The Pet Blends® can be given indefinitely if you wish. They are gentle products.
If you have given your animal a few bottles of the Blend, try easing off the drops (when the bottle is finished) to see if their behaviour is permanently improved. This will mean that they would no longer need to take the Pet Blend. If ever the behaviours return then you can start another course of Pet Blends®, or try a bespoke Personalised Blend.
Many animals, particularly dogs, will also benefit from using the Pet Blends® alongside professional training techniques plus a good healthy diet, rewards for good behaviour and plenty of exercise.
Glycerine is a natural additive commonly given to dogs, cats, horses and cattle in their food, to help with their general health.
To learn more about Glycerine please read this article by the 'Global Healing Center' > What is Vegetable Glycerine?
On Wikipedia there is a page with general information on all forms of Glycerine, also known as > Glycerol
ABV means 'Alcohol by Volume'. 0.2% ABV is a minuscule amount and is perfectly safe for animals of all types, breeds, sizes and ages. The Pet Blends® and Flower Essences have been safely used by hundreds of thousands of animals for many decades. Flower Essence MET is preserved in alcohol and 50% spring water, before being added as a few drops to the Pet Blends® bottle.
For nearly 80 years people have given neat Flower Essences to animals which can be up to 36% ABV, therefore just 0.2% ABV in the Pet Blends® is an extremely insignificant amount.
For example and as a comparison: significantly greater amounts than 0.2% ABV of alcohol can naturally occur in a human’s or an animal’s bloodstream through the process of digestion and fermentation of food [1]. And fruit juices typically contain a naturally occurring ABV of 0.1% [2]. There is little or no actual fibre of the Flower Essence plant in our Blends, it is the 'energy signature' of the plant - the pure 'Mother Essence Tincture' used as the active ingredient. To learn more about this, and how it works, please go to our Flower Essences Explained webpage.
Ingredients includes lists for each of the Pet Blends® can be found on the following webpages:
As with all remedies and medicines, keep out of reach of children. If symptoms persist please consult a veterinarian. Please store bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight below 77F. See full ingredients list and instructions on product label.

For example, if your dog is showing nervous aggression then they may be required to use the Mellow Blend Some animals show aggression through deep-seated fear - the Mellow Blend is designed to address those underlying feelings of fear and thus, over time, those behaviours can reduce, subside or, for some animals, disappear.
However, if they are on a course of one of the Pet Blends® they can also have the Relax Blend at the same time - as-and-when needed, for example in emergencies, for shocks and sudden traumas etc.

Why use Flower Essences for Animals?Anyone who has a pet or works with animals knows that they can suffer with emotional as well as behavioural problems. They can experience a similar range of responses as us, such as fear, rage, jealousy, sadness and anxiety. That is where Flower Essences can gently help.
Flower Essences have been used since the 1930s to help people with their own emotional problems (the most recognizable product being Rescue Remedy TM). However, now Flower Essences are widely used by vets, animal behaviourists, trainers and people with their pets to help promote balanced and well-adjusted behaviour in animals - in a natural way, without the use of chemicals. In orthodox medicine there is little help for animals in this area and the few conventional treatments there are can sometimes leave them with unwanted side effects such as drowsiness. This is where our flower essences are different because they can help to gently soothe an animal without masking their true nature. Our Pet Blends®, made using Flower Essences and Remedies, are specially formulated for use with animals and contain ingredients specially chosen to help address the specific problems unique to animals. Our natural & gentle Pet Blends® are suitable for animals of all ages - large or small, young or old and for every type of animal: dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, reptiles, birds, cattle, kittens, puppies, ponies...
At Creature Comforters® we have, over the past 25 years, reported an approximate 80% success rate with effectively addressing a wide range of challenging emotional and behavioural problems in animals. Importantly the 'Placebo Effect' is, of course, wholly extraneous with regard to animals. The small number of cases that the remedies are unable to address are usually helped by a change in circumstances/treatment and/or behaviour training. Also Flower Essence therapy can be a good support when used in conjunction with advice from a qualified animal behaviourist or by attending animal training classes - where appropriate. Many animal trainers recommend our products to their clients, especially for those animals who display behaviours which are difficult to solve with training alone.
Flower Essence therapy can also be particularly beneficial for animals that have been traumatised by an event in their past, such as neglect, abuse, bad-handling or inappropriate treatment/training by previous owners. In complex cases such as this we recommend a consultation for a Personalised Blend.

Blends can be given. Some animals may benefit from a Personalised Blend -

- The Relax, Vigour and Comfort are best described as ‘Tonic’ Blends.
This means that these Blends are usually used to help address problems/behaviours that are relatively transitory and/or acute, and are generally as a consequence of trauma/event/circumstance (and not ordinarily as a characteristic of the animal’s usual temperament). - The Courage, Mellow and Balance are best described as ‘Constitutional’ Blends.
This means that, on the whole, these Blends are used to help address inherent temperament/behaviour traits.
Animals have feelings too! Article by Jane Stevenson, founder of Creature Comforters® UK
Studies have shown that caring for a pet can reduce stress levels. The owners can be happier, healthier and even live longer than people without an animal companion. In my own experience, as someone passionate about animals, I have found that there are few better ways to start your day than with an invigorating walk with your dog who, wide awake, and staring at you with those pleading eyes, is raring to go! Our pets are entirely reliant on us for their well being. We readily take care of their physical needs, but what if they are unhappy? It is easy to forget that we are also responsible for their emotional care. Bramble, Ester, Meg and Rupert
Animals are thought to experience the same breadth of emotions as humans, including the negative ones. Unable to express how they feel or to understand what is happening to them, the animals reaction to difficulties may be communicated through antisocial behavior, such as fear, destructiveness or aggression. Unfortunately the true reason for this behavior often goes unrecognised. Until recently this area of animals welfare was generally overlooked, as conventional treatments often do not cater for emotional problems. However, I have been helping animals with flower essences for over 35 years, and have found them to be a very effective and safe answer to this area of caring for our pets. These essences are used to calm the emotions, lift spirits and bring out the animals full potential. Animals seem to respond remarkably quickly to their therapeutic effects. Perhaps this is because they are innately free of complicated human thought processes and so the placebo effect is not an issue. Experience has shown that in certain situations essences may need to be used in conjunction with sensible training or other treatments. However, we must understand that each animal has a unique personality; they are free spirits and a certain amount of instinctive behaviour is normal.
Flower essences have been quietly helping animals for years, and are only now becoming mainstream. They offer immeasurable benefits to our animal friends who, like us, are living with the challenging side-effects of life in the 21st Century. © Copyright 2005 Jane Stevenson and A Digby |
