As
you suffer anxiety and stress caused by everyday life events so do your canine
companions and feline friends. Pets suffer skin problems caused by
environmental or food allergies. Herbal Pet has a natural solution to sooth
your stressed out animal and give them relief from sore itch skin.
Cat and dogs can also experience anxiety, fear, over-excitability, lack
of concentration and even depression. Separation anxiety is a very common
problem in dogs. Cat and dog anxiety during thunderstorms or fireworks is also
a huge problem.
The Serenity Formula was formulated in order to naturally and safely
address these problems.
This is how it works:
- Tyrosine
and 5-HTP are both amino acids, naturally present in a pet’s diet. But, in
an anxious pet, they have a gently calming effect. 5-HTP is the direct
precursor to serotonin. And serotonin is the calm, happy chemical in your
pet’s brain.
- Inositol,
a B vitamin, is one of the most underused and underrated vitamins. Inositol
has outperformed pharmaceutical antidepressants in clinical trials for
humans. It works in the same way for pets.
- Magnesium,
if deficient in your pet’s diet, produces symptoms of anxiety. I’ve added
chelated (because chelated minerals are better absorbed) magnesium to
correct this.
- A
blend of gently calming herbs such as chamomile, well known for its
ability to calm both mind and stomach.
About Serenity Formula : A blend of herbs, vitamins, amino acids and
minerals formulated to gently calm your pet in stressful situations, without
causing drowsiness.
Contains : Contains 5-hydroxytryptophan and tyrosine (amino

daily or in special circumstances only, whatever the needs of the individual
pet.

Cat and dog allergies- More
than ever before,
our dogs are suffering from allergies. Causes range from food allergies to
allergic reactions to chemicals in the environment. Typical treatments are
steroids ( Cortisone), antibiotics and antihistamines. Often, giving these
drugs is an appropriate and necessary action.
- There
are no simple answers, but allergies can be helped by:
- Feeding
a better diet – fresh, varied food is best, or a high-quality,
low-quantity protein food
- Washing
frequently with natural, non-toxic shampoos
- Keeping
dust levels down
- Switching
to a ceramic feeding bowl, not plastic
- Supplementing
with vitamins, minerals and certain herbs
- Herbs
and vitamins which
have been shown to help with allergic conditions are:
- Vitamin
C
- Citrus
extracts
