Homeopathic remedies are generally considered to be gentle and safe. They may be used in conjunction with other treatments such as herbal remedies or acupuncture. Correct administration of homeopathic remedies: Homeopathic remedies are easily given to animals, and ideally at least 15 minutes away from the consumption of food or drink. Hold the vial upside down and twist the lid to allow one tablet to drop into the clear cap. Open the animal's mouth and drop the tablet directly into the mouth where it will dissolve quickly. Do not touch the tablet with your fingers since the natural oils on your skin may damage these delicate remedies, although there will be no harm to either you or your pet if this occurs by mistake. It is simply that the remedy may not be so effective. Animals are always given the same amount of homeopathic remedy regardless of their size or weight. However in more acute conditions you would need to give the remedy more frequently than in chronic cases.
