15 Remedies for Your Pets

Homeopathy works for your animals too

Learning about how to look after your animals therefore makes sense and homeopathy has so much to offer.

Here are my top 15 favourite remedies I use for my dog Lilly.

Phosphorus 200c

Phosphorus is a great remedy for animals who are highly active, nervous and have lots of fears. It is my favourite remedy for fear of fireworks and loud noises. Use in a high potency just when needed (when you dog shows signs of distress).

After any scrape, scratch, cut or wound. Give 30c twice a day for three or four days
