Herbal Flea and Tick Repellents

We are pleased to announce the arrival of our new line of herbal flea and tick repellents from Quantum Herbal Products. We are carrying their 100% Natural Flea and Tick Spray and their Worm/Parasite Formula tincture. We look forward to using these two products in tandem to help protect pets from fleas and ticks this season with out using that harsh chemical junk.

We're also carrying the Calendula tincture and their Pet Cream salve. Both products have wonderful skin healing properties and the cream is especially good for wounds and hot spots.

Let us know if you'd like to try these great products, or if you've had experience with them in the past. We're excited to have them in the store to complement our other line of natural flea and tick repellents from Aromadog and Natural Chemistry.

Hello again!

Hi all,

Sorry for the disappearing act, things have been a little crazy around here, but we think they will start to settle down soon.

Some new stuff to tell you - the animal communicator talk with Janet Kennedy, went really well. Janet spoke for a while on the basics of animal communication and then did several readings for the attendees. People we think, were quite pleased and we plan to have Janet back sometime soon.

Also, with the coming of flea and tick season we are bringing in some new herbal products for cats and dogs that will repel fleas and ticks. We really don't like the idea of using the monthly systemic pesticides that are so popular these days. We've seen far too many negative reactions in animals to these substances, despite all their claims of "safety". We've also seen animals still coming up with fleas and ticks despite their use. So why bother we say? Let's try something less hostile to the animal and environment. We'll talk about the products as soon as we receive them.

Rescue Remedy use in animals

The following information is taken from "Bach Flower Remedies for Animals" written by Helen Graham and Gregory Vlamis.

In the section on dosages, it says: "Flower essences (FEs) are administered in drops, a single drop at a time. They are normally given by mouth. Five days is the average period of treatment, although they can be continued for two weeks or longer. Dosage varies with the particular situation and the animal species being treated. The standard dose is 4 drops. More drops are not harmful, but wasteful. Fewer drops can be used if the animal is quite small (squirrels, hamsters, rabbits). For large breeds of dogs (St. Bernards, Great Danes), sheep and goats, 6 drops should be given. Horses and cows get 10-15 drops. These can be given as often as necessary but at least four times daily. Drops can be applied directly on or under the animal's tongue, dropped onto the nose to be licked off, or rubbed into the gums or lips. They also can be added to water, food, treats, etc., but this is not as reliable because you can't monitor the exact amount they are taking. You can also mix with water and spray it on the skin or in the air surrounding the animal. You can add it to lotions and apply it topically to the skin or fur, pulse points, or other soft cavities of the body (under the leg or arm) - I put it inside their ears sometimes.
You can also bathe the dog with water containing a few drops of FEs. They respond with great immediacy to the correct essences. If there is no apparent change after five days, you are using the wrong remedy. FEs are safe to take in combination with each other and with any other medications - allopathic or homeopathic. They are harmless, and overdose is impossible. If you administer the wrong essence, it will simply have no effect."

Rescue Remedy and other Bach Flower Essences can be purchased at The Pet Cabaret.

Animal Communicator Talk

Just a reminder that we'll be doing our talk with Animal Communicator Janet Kennedy on April 19th. That is a Wednesday evening and the talk will begin around 7:00 PM.

A number of people have already signed up for this event and we encourage those interested to call the store at 617-323-7387 and do the same. You all know how small the store is, so space is limited for this talk. Please call so we can save a space for you.

The talk is FREE but if you'd like a reading for your pet, there is a $25.oo charge. Let us know if you'd like a reading when you call. If you do want a reading, please bring in a photo of your pet preferably looking directly into the camera.
