For fearful responses in specific situations, like during storms or fireworks, follow our directions for "acute situations": 

"In acute situations, where a negative behavior or emotional state is brought on severely and/or suddenly: repeat doses as needed; three doses 3-5 minutes apart are often sufficient to give quick, temporary relief."

With dogs that experience frequent or ongoing anxiety or fearfulness in everyday life, follow our directions for persistent, ongoing issues:

"For persistent, ongoing issues: give 3-4 times daily, at around the same time each day. When starting your dog on flower essences, it can be helpful to give a formula more often per day during the first week or two, tapering off to 3-4 times a day after that. Please note that dogs with very serious and/or deep-seated issues may need to continue at a higher dose frequency over a longer period of time." 
 
Finally, because flower essences are so safe to use, feel free to experiment to find out what schedule and routine works best for your dog. Like us, they are all individuals and what is best for one may be different from what is best for another!

Rescue Remedy

Behavioral indicators: for dogs experiencing (or that have experienced) severe emotional trauma from, for example, abuse or severely challenging life conditions.

 I am only an everyday person sharing my experiences and knowledge with others. My dogs are all rescues and came with some medical issues. As our dogs age, no matter what we do right, there is always a medical issue that will arise, so being proactive instead of reactive is your best line of defense. You will also have the knowledge to make better decisions and can handle tackling a problem. Learning is our best line of defense. ​

Facebook is removing thousands, maybe millions of accounts if they don't like anything about them now. I had a page for HOPS on Facebook but I lost it when they deleted my account as well. Over 10,000 followers..gone just like that. We are looking for a permanent social media site. We are on Facebook again but it isn't monitored daily. 
Also watch out for a lot of scams going on especially on Facebook, especially so called Drs from Nigeria claiming to help you
or your pets. A Dr named Dr Gbojie natural cure on FB is a scammer. Things are bad right now so just be aware!
