Home and Yard Visits

Before any session and consultation with an animal is undertaken:

This therapy is by no means a replacement for the opinion of your veterinary surgeon, and if you have any concerns about your animal's health, you should consult your vet first. In the interest of your animals' health, professionalism and in compliance with current veterinary law, it will be necessary to obtain approval from your vet to ensure that there are no medical reasons why your animal(s) cannot participate in this therapy or be offered essential oils and other remedies on a self-selection basis. In most cases, this means a phone call to your vet for confirmation. Confirmation from your vet must be attained by the animal owner or carer responsible for the animal(s) prior to a home or yard visit.

*Many pet insurance companies now cover complementary and alternative therapies. Please check your policy details.

For us to tailor the session to the particular needs of your animal(s) and maximise the potential benefits of the therapy, it is necessary for you to complete and return a consultation form.

This will give us an overview of an animal's medical history, daily routine, diet, exercise, environment and any current or previous illnesses. There may be variations to consultations, depending on individual circumstances, but generally, they will take the form of an interactive therapy session in which both you and your animal(s) will play a part.

Initially your animal will be assessed fully with particular attention to any issues you may have described in your consultation form. You will be taken through the process of introducing the remedies to your animal(s) and interpreting their responses. You will be involved in offering the remedies yourself for two main reasons: firstly, because the animals already know and trust you, and secondly, because you may wish to continue the course of therapy for a period of time.

Animals are never forced or tied up, and they must be able to walk away from a remedy they have no interest in. The whole process is about empowering and enabling the animals to select and administer their own choice of organic therapy in their own way and in their own time.
