Animals' Apawthecary Herbal
Tinctures taste sweet and contain little or no alcohol, most can be squirted
directly into the mouth of your pet or can be added to his drinking water or
food. However, please keep in mind that no two animals are alike -- the amount
needed for effectiveness will vary from animal to animal. With that in mind, the
following guidelines represent a typical feeding regimen for most of tincture
formulas.
Feeding Guidelines Cats: 12-20 (0.5ml) drops, twice
daily Dogs: 12-20 (0.5ml) drops for each 20 lbs. of animal body weight, twice
daily
Duration of Use: 5 days on, 2 days off (to monitor results). If
your animal's condition worsens or shows no improvements, please consult your
veterinarian.
How Long Will A Bottle Last?
A one fluid ounce
bottle will serve most cats and small dogs one month. Dogs over 30 lbs. will
likely require two ounces or more per month. Because these products contain no
synthetic preservatives and have a shelf life of less than two years, we
encourage you to buy only what you need for a few months. To determine a more
exact feeding amount and to establish duration and frequency of feeding, we
encourage you to consult a holistic veterinarian.
