Depression and grieving in pets
Depression and grieving in pets may take many different forms - from the obviously sad and lethargic animal, to the pet that manifests illness and behavioural problems associated with depression.

Animals form very deep attachments to their owners and to each other. It is therefore not surprising when they show signs of grief and depression if their owner or a companion pet dies.

Some animals experience separation anxiety when their owners go away for a holiday, or sometimes even when they leave them for a short time. Separation anxiety, can result in depression or, more commonly (especially in dogs), in destructive behaviour such as digging, chewing or scratching.

Pets are also highly attuned to their owner's emotional state. If you are feeling depressed or grief-stricken, this may, in turn, impact on your pet. Certain breeds of pets also tend to worry and fret more than others. The laid back, happy, bouncy Golden Retriever is far more likely to adapt to a stressful situation than the highly sensitive Chihuahua that is used to being carried everywhere.

Symptoms of grief and depression can include:

  • Excessive barking
  • Lethargy
  • Anxiety/nervousness
  • Excessive grooming (particularly in cats)
  • Self mutilation or destructive behavior
  • Weight loss/gain
  • Sulking or even aggression
  • Change in personality
  • Increased clinginess and attachment
  • Loss of appetite
 
 
The Natural Way
There is a lot that can be done to help your pet cope when you are away for short periods of time and your pet is left alone, or when they are pining for you or a fellow pet. When leaving your pet, say goodbye using the same friendly phrase each time you leave. Don’t make a fuss about leaving - keep it short and sweet. Leave your pet something to chew – preferably something that will keep them occupied - you may want to also try leaving them a toy (make sure it is pet friendly and not a choking hazard). Always leave fresh food and water and point out to your pet where it is and make sure they have been outside to ‘do their business’ before you leave. Remember too, that if your pet is going to stay somewhere else and will be away from you, you should include their favorite toys, blankets, and even an item of your clothing that has your smell on it.

How has Grief and Pining Formula helped others?
"This product has been so helpful for our dog who has been miserable and moping since our eldest child left home. We felt bad enough but I think she has reacted worse than all of us. It made us all feel so sad to see her lying next to our son's bed and even sighing like a really depressed person - with those big sad eyes! Within a week she had her appetite back and even started to wag her tail again when my husband came home. What a great product!"
- Cynthia Y.

"We tried your Grief remedy as you suggested just before taking our cat to the cattery which we do every year. Every year we feel more guilty as the owner always tells us that he is fine and eats but will not interact and just sits doing nothing until we collect him, looking very sorry for himself. This time there was a big difference and he was even purring when we picked him up - which we could hardly believe! Thanks for your help and advice! "
- Gwen

"Our 12 year old family dog has really perked up for the first time in weeks after taking your remedy. His brother died of cancer two months ago and as they have been with us all their lives, we have all been very sad. This remedy is easy to administer as you say and there is no comparison to the sad and gloomy dog we had before. He still 'looks' for his brother but he is more full of energy and loving again, which we have missed so much! We can really recommend this formula!"
- MS

How do I use Grief and Pining Formula?
Grief and Pining Formula comes in a convenient dissolvable granule form. The fine granules are easy to administer to pets of all sizes and personalities and are simply sprinkled on the back of the tongue and left to dissolve. No fuss and bother!

Dosage:
Cats and small dogs: Large pinch of granules sprinkled into the mouth.
Small to medium dogs: Two pinches sprinkled into the mouth.

Chronic Use (for chronically depressed animals): Two to three doses of PetAlive

Grief and Pining Formula may be safely given every day to lift mood and promote feelings of well being.

Acute (when needed): Grief and Pining Formula may also be used as needed for acute cases of pining and depression in pets (e.g. during a visit to kennels or while owner is away for a short time). Administer every 30 minutes for up to 6 doses a day or until symptoms subside. Thereafter administer two to three times daily for as long as is necessary.

Preventative: Begin treatment a few days before separation due to absent owner or loved companion to help your pet cope and reduce the trauma associated with difficult separation or loss.

 
 
How long until I see results?
Within a few doses, an almost immediate lifting of mood is usually seen. Your pet may appear more interested in surroundings and food, less lethargic and more responsive to affection. Regular use over a period of weeks will result in a happier and more vital furry friend.
 
 
How long will a bottle last?
One bottle of Grief and Pining Formula will last for approximately 15 - 60 days, depending on the size of your pet and frequency of dose.

She now employs her love of animals, great and small, to the PetAlive family. She hopes to make pet owners aware of the benefits of natural remedies and support naturally healthy, naturally happy pets.
    Cathy's Tips:

  • A balanced, high quality diet is very important during stressful times and can help to boost your pet's immune system. Include plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic).
  • Aromatherapy and massage can help to soothe and comfort a grief-stricken and depressed animal.
  • While your pet is grieving, try and keep the home environment as safe and stress-free as possible. Try not to make any further changes to the environment during this time.
  • Start leaving your pet alone for short periods of time, gradually lengthening the time away from home so that they are gently introduced to time away from you.
  • Regular exercise will help to keep your pet healthy and fit, mentally and emotionally as well as physically.
  • If your pet pines excessively when at the kennels, investigate other options. Perhaps you could get a dog-sitter to look after your dog at home or leave him with a friend while you are away.
