Thank you for reaching out with your concerns regarding the use of alcohol as a preservative in our homeopathic remedies, particularly for pets. We understand that alcohol may not seem ideal, especially when caring for your furry companions, and we’d like to explain why we choose to use it over some of the alternatives and how to safely administer these remedies to your pets.

Why We Use Alcohol as a Preservative
Alcohol is widely used in homeopathic remedies for several key reasons:
Long-Term Stability: Alcohol effectively stabilizes the active ingredients, ensuring the remedy retains its potency over time. Alternative preservatives, such as glycerin or water-based solutions, tend to have shorter shelf lives and may not preserve the remedy as reliably.
Antimicrobial Protection: Alcohol provides excellent protection against bacterial and fungal growth, helping to maintain the purity and safety of the remedy. This is especially important in liquid preparations that could be exposed to environmental contaminants.
Solvent Properties: Alcohol serves as a solvent that helps evenly dilute and preserve the active ingredients in homeopathic remedies. While glycerin or vinegar could be used as alternatives, alcohol is considered superior in maintaining the balance and effectiveness of these delicate formulations.

Alcohol Content and Pets
We understand that using alcohol for pets may raise concerns. However, it’s important to note that the amount of alcohol in our remedies is extremely low—20%—and when administered properly, it poses minimal risk to animals. Still, we recognize your desire to avoid alcohol entirely, and we’re happy to offer the following tips:

How to Lower or Remove the Alcohol Content
Evaporation Method: To reduce the alcohol content, place the required dose in a small amount of hot water (but not boiling) and let it sit for a few minutes. The alcohol will evaporate, leaving the active ingredients intact.
Dilution: Another option is to dilute the remedy in a greater volume of water, which can make it easier for your pet to tolerate without losing the remedy’s effectiveness.
We always prioritize the health and well-being of your pets, and we hope these suggestions make administering homeopathic remedies easier. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your trust in our products.
