Calming Animals Afraid of Fireworks

My friend’s dog goes crazy during the July 4th US holiday with all of the fireworks. I would guess everyone has a few shaking and howling friends in the neighborhood, or kitty’s hiding under the bed or in the closet during this time. Pets are such sensitive creatures and as much as we love them, most folks do not realize that they resonate with our fears as well as the fireworks noises on July 4th.
There are several calming flower essence formulas that can help pets at this time. I have found that they work best if you start them two or three weeks in advance of July 4th. Just a few drops of tincture in their water dish or on their paws daily – will work wonders to reduce the fear factor. One friend, after using a flower essence tincture in the weeks preceding July 4th, said her dog went outside and acted like nothing was going on. Other clients say they find that their animals are still aware of the noises but are not shaking, howling or crying.
You will find pet tinctures or sprays on the Flower Essence Energy website, including “Animal Calm”. Australian Living and FES also make essences directed at pets’ needs. These formulas have been created to soothe and calm our furry friends, who help us all year long with their joyful presence. Place the essence in their water, on their paws, or place some on your hands and then rub your pet’s coat.
