The answer is “yes”. Our aim is to fully restore health in a short period of time.
Using drugs tend to mask and suppress symptoms. This explains why a pet ends up having to stay on drugs for the rest of their lives.
Long term drugs do damage major organs, just one of the very unpleasant side effects.

Are homeopathic remedies safe?

Homeopathic remedies are a unique, potentised energy medicine, drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds.
They are diluted to such a degree that not one molecule of the original substance can be detected (after the 12c potency).
They work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body and are very safe; even for pregnant and sensitive patients.
There is no danger of addiction or toxicity.

How are the remedies made?

The raw extracts (from plants or animals) or triturations (from minerals and salts) are made into a ‘tincture’ with alcohol which forms the basis of the dilution procedure. Dilutions are made up to either 1 part tincture to 10 parts water (1X) or 1 part tincture to 100 parts water (1c). Repeated dilution results in the familiar 6X, 6X or 30C potencies that can be bought over the counter; the 30C represents an infinitesimal part of the original substance.

If they are so dilute, how can they work?

After each dilution the mixture is vigorously agitated in a machine that delivers a calibrated amount of shaking.
This is called succussion. It is thought that this process imprints the healing energy of the medicinal substance throughout the body of water (the diluent) as if a message is passed on. The message contains the healing energy.
Even in ultra molecular dilutions, information specific to the original dissolved substance remains and can be detected.

Animal dosing using “homeopathy”

Homeopathics have no smell nor taste to them.
Petpathics homeopathic formulas are in clear liquid form (which pure grain alcohol added to it as a preservative) the most important thing is the number of times (frequency) a homeopathic remedy is given. The number of drops given in each dose is not as important as the frequency.

How much is “ a dose” for homeopathic animal treatment?

Suggested dose: approximately four to five drops for” all size” and” ages” for all species.

Apply drops onto top of head or body (wet area with drops and pat into fur), or add to meals, or put in animal's water bowl or trough. Usually these methods are less stressful and easier for administering to cats and other small species, including wildlife.

Dosing birds, rabbits, poultry, all farm animals or wildlife...etc.

Stir several drops into water trough once a week. It does not matter if other animals
share homeopathic treatments - only the ones that need it will benefit from it.

When do I need to do more “frequent “dosing to what was suggested on the bottle?

ANY TIME if the animal is showing acute symptoms or stress, give the selected remedy more
frequently. The TIME (or frequency of dosing) between each dose is given, is more important
than the amount of liquid given each time.
.
How do I give “frequent” dosing for fast relief of times of symptoms of stress and discomfort?

For example: Give three to four treatments (doses) leaving approximately 10 MINUTES between each dose.
Most often, by the second or third dose, there should be a change – which may be as simple as being
much more relaxed and comfortable. Allow your pet to have a good sleep. If no immediate relief seen
within the second or third repeat dosing, then a different remedy is required. Try another formula or
single remedy, until the right remedy assists the animal.

What is herbal medicine?

Many well established medicines originally came from plants. For example, the pain killer morphine comes
from poppies, aspirin comes from the bark of willow trees and digoxin (a drug used to treat heart failure)
comes from the foxglove plant.
Traditional herbal medicine has been used in the Europe for centuries and it remains popular today, despite
scientific advances leading to more medicines and other conventional medical treatments becoming available.
Although it's classed as a complementary medicine in Europe, it's actually the most widely practised form of
medicine across the world - 80 percent of the world's population are dependent on herbs for their health.
Some herbal treatments are well established and have undergone clinical testing. This approach is best called
phytotherapy and uses one remedy for one condition based on proper scientific testing. We are now applying
herbal medicines to our animal companions with great success. Note: The dosage for a horse is less than
for a dog or human, due to their unique metabolism.

Herbs come in various forms.
Brown liquid ( as a concentrate called an herbal extract or less concentrate as a herbal tincture),
brown tablets, capsules, powders, dry herbal tea and medicinal dried herbs.

How do herbal medicines work?
Many conventional medicines originate from a single active ingredient of a plant. Scientists can isolate this
and produce it on a large scale in a laboratory. This is the opposite of herbal medicines which may contain
dozens of different ingredients. Herbalists believe that all the elements are in balance within a plant and
so it's important to keep them together. The different components are made more or less powerful depending
on the others that are present.

Herbs have a strong smell and taste compared to homeopathic medicines (which have no smell or taste, and come
as clear liquid or white pills).

If you buy herbs, the best form is as a liquid or dry leaf (make as a tea), as liquid herbs work faster and go
through the blood stream much quicker. For animals it is easy to mix in with daily meals.

“Herbal” Petpathics animal “dosing”

Petpathics herbal formulas use the “brown” liquid extract concentrate.
Follow dosage instructions for small or large animals printed on medicine bottle.
Herbs must always be diluted before giving them to your pet or animal.
Herbs are always a brown liquid, with a strong smell and taste to them.

How to give liquid “herbal” formulas to animals.
Small to med dog: med to large dog: (and farm animals) : mix into some food and hand feed small pieces at
a time, then feed as normal.

Alternatively, If not eating or refusing food with herbs in it, dilute with some pink salmon juice (for cats)
or in a teaspoon of plain yoghurt for dog (using an oral syringe) squirt
slowly small amounts at a time into side of gum of mouth until dosage mixture is gone.

Cat, toy dog, and other small species: you could try adding to meals or some pink salmon meat
(use human-grade salmon please). Try mixing some herbal drops into some pink salmon juice or try with a
teaspoon of plain yogurt. Offer this in a bowl or give orally using an "oral syringe" from the pharmacy
slowly squirt small amounts until the recommend pet dose is given.

Horse, farm animals: add drops to food such as a piece of carrot, apple or bread and hand feed herbs this way.
Unless you have a supply of dry herbs, you can add these to feed.

If your pet or farm animal choose not to eat their food when the liquid herbs have been added, you can dilute the herbs in some fluid, such as plain yoghurt, which is most suitable for dogs, farm animals or horses.
