Title: Rescue Remedy for Hoomans?
Post by: David C. on July 23, 2008, 05:00:36 PM
I was talking with one of my employees in our Baltimore Office over the phone this afternoon.  She was having a pretty stressful day, and she told me that she took some Rescue Remedy to help her deal with it.   I burst out laughing.   She didn't understand what was so funny.  I asked her if she knew that it was for dogs.   I then explained where "Rescue Remedy" got its name from.   She did not know that, and then expounded on how the ingredients help her deal with anxiety.

I mean, I suppose there is nothing in Rescue Remedy that a hooman couldn't stomach, we could eat dog food, too, for that matter.  So, has anyone here tried their puppers Rescue Remedy or know of someone that has?

I just looked at the website for Rescue Remedy www.rescueremedy.com and it appears to be targeting human uses especially women.  What is funny is that the testimonials are from people concerning the effects on animals.

Regular rescue remedy contains alcohol 27% Brandy, if you take a prescribtion drug-check with your doctor. pets rescue remedy doesn't. So if you are gonna get it for a pet,  make sure you get the one for Pets-I don't know how long it has been out.
