We’ve been having discussions about our line of pet products recently and that got me to thinking about how my mom developed her herbal treatments for our pets. We always had a menagerie around, anywhere from your basic cat and/or dog, to rabbits, birds of all sizes, rats, a guinea pig or two, snakes, frogs, and fish. I think this was my mom’s way of giving us the farm experience she had as a child. One of our earliest pets was a rat named Rosie. Rosie, as rats commonly do, developed a tumor that eventually grew to the size of a golf ball, or larger. In the eyes of a five year old, it was massive. Rather than let Rosie go where all good rats go, my mom thought she would try her hand at animal surgery. She enlisted the help of her good friend Kate Bowland and with the use of some Rescue Remedy and a bunch of good old fashioned gumption, the two of them removed Rosie’s tumor. Rosie the Rat lived to the venerable age of three, a full year past the lifespan of the usual pet rat. You should hear Kate tell the story, she is much better at expressing the humor and hilarity of the situation.
Anyway, in my head, that is when the seed for LoveMyPet was planted. My mom firmly believed that our pets provided us with as many health benefits as we provided them. The emotional benefits of having a pet as part of your family have been well documented and it behooves us to care for ours as well as we are able. The following is something she wrote about the LoveMyPet products and why it is so important to care for the animals in our lives.
For your pet, before the vet
Everybody loves their pets. Pets play many different roles in family and structures. They are used therapeutically for the elderly, and to draw out children with special needs. In these times when families may live long distances from each other, pets may fill a void in our emotional lives. Also, as we are becoming an increasingly urban society removed from our food supply, pets are often our only connection with the animal world. I believe it is important to use high quality nutrition, adequate exercise, and emphasize the importance of preventative care in order to enhance the quality of our own pets’ lives. In the process, we enrich the quality of our own lives as well.
As pets become relatively more important to us, our concern for their comfort and health is also increasing. Benedictine Healing Products makes wonderful herbal products called LoveMyPet that you can use easily to assist your pet with some symptoms of discomfort and perhaps prevent them from becoming major calamities.
It is a great relief to a pet owner to be able to make his pet more comfortable in such a caring and non-toxic manner. If you try a product and the symptoms are not relieved after a week or two, please take your pet to your veterinarian.
Does your pet have any of these needs?
Mineral Mix is a wonderful supplement that should precede the use of vitamins. It is 100% plant sourced and will not form stones. Give it in food daily.
LoveMyPet pet products are a blend of herbs and homeopathic remedies extracted in organic alcohol, water and glycerin and are easy to administer in food and water or on treats. Often our pet will lick the fluid off your hand. Putting a couple of drops on a cat’s paw will cause a tidy cat to lick it off.
