Flower Remedies Animals & Change

By MELANIE BURGESS

Change can be difficult for both animals and their people to process and cope with, especially if that change involves moving to a new home, losing a companion or leaving one family to join another family. As always, when we are talking about our emotions, Bach flower remedies are on hand to help.

A puppy or kitten going to their new home, or an animal that is being rehomed, is a huge and unsettling change in their life with lots of new things to get used to.

Recently, we got a new puppy and it has been a big change for all of us. It has been 15 years since we last had a pup!

For our puppy, as soon as she came home on that first night, she had remedies added to her water – Rescue Remedy for the trauma of leaving her old family, Walnut to help her to adapt to a change, Mimulus as she was likely to be feeling scared, Larch for confidence and Elm to help with sensory overload so she didn’t feel overwhelmed.

She settled in no time at all and has become an integral part of the family - she is a gorgeous little tinker!

Another change our pets may have to face is the death of their owner or animal companion, or if their ‘person’ goes away, perhaps to University, resulting in feelings of extreme grief.

They are left feeling lonely and vulnerable, creating an enormous amount of stress and extreme emotions. Star of Bethlehem will help to recover from the shock and trauma of loss, Gorse will help brighten an animal that is very depressed or heartbroken, Sweet Chestnut for the mental anguish, Wild Rose to restore the will to live, and Walnut to help them to adapt to such a major change.

Even just moving into a new house, or a change of furniture or carpets can upset, or unsettle our animals. Walnut is always my ‘go to’ remedy for change, and helps to give them strength and resilience to move forward and be happy and settled again. With the correctly chosen remedies, the help they can provide, especially for animals, is quite astounding. There are 38 to choose from and as they can be used in combination, Bach Flower Remedies are there to support any emotional challenges faced by anybody - animal or person.
