Homeopathy for Anxious Dogs: Mica’s Success Story
The number of ways homeopathy can help pets is nearly endless. One of the most common reasons dog owners contact me, however, is anxiety.
A dog’s anxiety may appear only under certain circumstances, such as being left alone, hearing loud noises like fireworks or thunderstorms, or seeing unfamiliar people outside the house. Of course, dogs can become fearful or anxious for many other reasons as well.
The following success story is from many years ago. Mica’s human told me that she sometimes wondered whether Mica was simply too good. For a puppy, she seemed unusually obedient and should have been getting into at least a little more mischief!
Here Is Her Success Story:
It only took a few days to realize that there was something not right about our 12 week old puppy, Mica. She ate well, she was housebreaking well, she was loving & very friendly with the family, but she was also painfully shy & afraid of loud or unusual sounds. Even someone raising their voice only slightly would send her off into hiding. She was afraid of new people also, particularly children. At the same time she was always glued to my side, never went out of my sight & tried everything she could to be as obedient as possible. The vet checked her & said there was nothing wrong with her physically.
After several weeks of no improvement despite our efforts & patience, I called Kathryn. She came over to meet Mica & take her history. There were several possible remedies for Mica. The first one helped her fear of loud noises like thunder & firecrackers, but didn’t address the rest of her symptoms. The second remedy was the charm. After having given her just 2 or 3 doses of her remedy, she started to become a different dog.
She is now very loving & happy, no longer fearful of unknown adults or most children. She is no longer fearful of most loud or strange noises, although she is a great watchdog & let’s us know when someone comes to the door. What an improvement over her hiding under the chair in the bedroom whenever anything happened in the house. She explores the fenced yard on her own & will go for rides. She even tolerates the groomer!
We are so happy Kathryn & homeopathy helped with our Mica.
