1 Recommended Resources on Bach Flower Remedies & Animal Behavior Don Hanson, BFRP, CDBC, CPDT 1653 Union St., Bangor, ME (207) Helping you and your pet become best friends for life Learning More About the Bach Flower Remedies, Dr. Bach & Vibrational Medicine If you wish to learn more about Dr. Edward Bach, his philosophy on healing, and the remedies themselves, I recommend you checkout the following books, videos and websites. The ones with an asterisk () up front, are the ones I feel are essential for anyone serious about using the Bach Flower Remedies with themselves and their pets. These first two, which are really just pamphlets, are important so you have an understanding of Dr. Bach s philosophy and his perspective on each of the remedies.

5 Bach Flowers for Pets Recommended Resources on Bach Flower Remedies & Animal Behavior - 5/18/ page 5 Learning More About Feline Behavior and Communication I encourage you to learn more about your cat s behavior and how they communicate. I recommend you checkout the following books, videos and websites. The ones with an asterisk () up front, are the ones I feel are essential. Sadly, the Bradshaw books are out of print, but there are none better. If you intend to use the essences with your cats and can find a copy snatch it up.

The others were all written by people very knowledgeable of the Bach Flower Remedies but less so with animal behavior. As a result in places they tend to anthropomorphize and may not always offer the best advice. I am working on my own book which will hopefully be completed sometime in late Bach Flower Remedies for Animals, by Stefan Ball & Judy Howard, The C.W. Daniel Company Ltd, 2005
