Question 1

I’m concerned about the alcohol smell. Is there alcohol in in??

Accepted Answer

HomeoPet medicines are preserved in 20% USP alcohol, which is pure ethyl alcohol, used for preserving homeopathic remedies. Because there is only a drop or two of alcohol per dose, most pets will have no response to oral dosing. In rare cases, a cat or dog may be sensitive to alcohol and salivate excessively or shake his.or her head in response to the alcohol content. This can be alleviated by putting the drops on food/treat and letting it sit for 20 minutes before presenting it to your pet. Alternatively, placing drops in a small amount of water and letting sit for 20 minutes will prevent a reaction. NOTE: When dosing very small birds and animals, always dilute the dose into fresh drinking water, do not administer directly to the animal.

Question 2

Can I use this in cat's water fountain?  Or will it be filtered out?  One of my cats will only drink from the fountain.

Accepted Answer

it's good that your cat prefers the fountain, I find that all my cats drink 100% more water since we got a fountain.  This is because they are conditioned to not drink from still water; out in the wild, still water can present things that can make them sick.  As to the drops, yes, you can add them to the fountain, but I'm not sure how to do that.  The dose is three drops or so at a time, if you put it into the fountain the dose will be diluted and probably will have little or no affect on your cat.  What I do is get the cat in a relaxed moment (assuming that's possible), and then with the bottle of drops opened and in your hand, kneel down behind him while holding him gently so he can't run away, pet him on the head and  chest gently, put your hand under his chin and gently but firmly wedge the bottle in the side of his mouth till he opens it, and then squeeze 2 or 3 drops into his mouth.  That's it.  One, two three, you're done.  This method works very well for my cats, hopefully it will work for yours.

Question 3

My bottle of Anxiety Relie has no expiration date. How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

I use mine up quickly, so I never think about the expiration date.  The formula is an herbal one, so I am reasonably sure it would never go 'bad', only the strength of it (the efficacy) might decline after a long period of time--say a year or two.  If it's kept in a cool place, it would last longer.

Question 4

I want to put this on dry food, not wet food or water.  Will it work on dry food?

Accepted Answer

If your pet is over 1lb then yes you may dose on dry food, it should get absorbed.
