Questions Answered

WHO ARE WE?
Natural Pet Remedies store was created by Debs Chase-Paterson (Naturopath/Herbalist) in response to clients requesting natural support for pets, primarily cats and dogs.  Our herbal extracts are based on natural home remedies for dogs & cats and not designed to replace medication prescribed by your veterinarian. Originally produced in 2011 then later rebranded under the Natural Pet Remedies Store website in 2018, we then incorporated the Happy Horse Herbals enabling 3 natural support extracts for horses too.

HAPPY PET STORIES + CHANGE OF LABEL NAMES + CHANGED DESCRIPTIONS  
Due to Ministry of Primary Industry requirements, many of our pet remedies have had name & description changes which may make your usual product ordering a little more challenging.  Please note, our product receipes remain the same in every instant.   You may wonder why many of our Happy pet stories are no longer showing on our website.  Unfortunately many of our Happy Pet Stories which included testimonials from customers and website reviews, have been removed in accordance with MPI regulations as they may be deemed claims.  Therefore, please continue to use our 1-5 star rating under review buttons for each product and a short positive statement that does not imply cure or treat.   Many thanks for your understanding

DO I NEED TO TO GIVE MY PET THE DROPS ONGOING?
In most cases, the natural pet blend you give your pet is used for support then no longer needed.  Because our products are low dose herbal extracts, they can be taken up to 3 months on a reduced maintenance dose as shown on label. 

All products can be used by cats and dogs and the pet products that have a horse on the front of the label show that they are able to be given to horses as well.  Goats can use the  Ouch minor moment drops too. Our natural pet herbal extracts are based on home remedies for cats & dogs with herbal extracts for horses too and are intended as support herbals.

Taking two blends at the same time?  These can be given at a different time of day or an hour away. or added to pets drinking water
