It’s the only product that has helped my African grey

It’s just a shame on my part I didn’t discover this product before I did. It’s the only product that has helped my African grey to stop plucking his feathers , could not live without it now it’s simply amazing!

The spray seems to have calmed him down

I and my pet parakeet became closely bonded after my husband died. He would come out of his cage fly around and around me, eat out of my hand, and involve himself in everything I did. I went away for a short break, leaving him in Kennels I thought he seemed ok when I came back, but when I went for a second very short break I came back to a very distressed parakeet. The Kennel maids did their best for him, but as soon as he saw me he danced up and down shouting”going home, going home, coming out” over and over again. I got him home and let him fly around as much as he wanted, but every little noise unsettled him, and even my neighbour who had never heard him behave like this before said he shouted and screamed when I had to shop. Finally one day he did what he had never done before and attacked me leaving my hands bitten and scratched! What could I do? I loved him and knew this dear little chap was not well. So I called the Vet. He said it sounded like depression, compounded by his testosterone due to the mating season, perhaps missing my husband too as he had recently died, and then my prolonged absences would leave him fearful that I too had abandoned him, so every noise would frighten him! The Vet recommended your spray and alongside lots of TLC and treats the spray seems to have calmed him down, and he is my dear sweet Charlie again! Eileen

Tried Pet Remedy for a rescue. African grey

Tried Pet Remedy for a rescue. African grey and she has become the happiest bird ever. After months of witnessing her unhappiness I tried this as a last resort and wish I’d done it from the first moment I brought her home. Thankyou, this stuff really works, I am so impressed and will use your products with any rescue pets that suffer stress

Also helps with other pets cats and birds

Only used for two days chosen as I had reached the limit of improvement with adaptil and this also helps with other pets cats and birds the neighbours have noticed dog so far is better behaved when left in the house on his own still using all the other training methods I am not using this product in isolation but I am pleased with it.

I highly recommend this product especially for birds

Was going out of my mind with the hormonial behaviour of my parrot who I’d handreared since he was 4 weeks old (he’ll be 16 in September) this year he had become a real nasty monster as his hormones kicked in, was at my wits end until I found your web-site last Friday night, couldn’t wait for it to be posted, saw it was sold in Pets at Home so was on their doorstep as they opened Saturday morning and bought the plug in deffuser with the free mini spray included in the box. Within 24 hours he was a different bird, back to singing asking for a kiss and tickle and stopped attacking me with murder in his eyes!! People in some of the reviews I’ve read complain of the aroma, I found it acceptable and not off putting, even if it were the fact that it works is all that matters, I’ve used the spray on his bedding in his cage when he goes nite nite, he’s a Caique parrot and they tend to sleep curlded up like a kitten on the bottom of their cages, so he has wood chip and soft paper (he’s out and about during the day). I highly recommend this product especially for birds. I’ve attached a photo of ‘Ginger’…

Used this for my birds when moulting or stressed for a while now and it works brilliant. Great price too.

African grey not plucking as much and not so aggressive. Will buy refills and see if she keeps improving. Feathers are starting to grow back now she looks much better.

Ideal for calming a stressed parrot

Hi, thank you so very much for sending the samples I must admit im always a little sceptical when it comes to plugins ect but I was pleasantly surprised we did have really positive results with two of our poorly birds who are now a lot happier I feel since the plug in was put in there room 😊 we have also put an update of our findings on our Facebook group avian angels parrot rescue uk and a lot of members have shown a lot of interest in your product 😊
Again thank you I have two very happy parrots 🦜

Lisa Lee reviews the Pet Remedy Bird Calming Kit

“I did find a significant difference in the mood and natural behavior of my parrot. He was much more pleasant, with the nipping being significantly reduced. Of course, birds use their beaks to communicate, but much of the use was truly to inform me of something rather than nipping hard to express displeasure. I liked that the plug was very discreet and I often forgot it was even there!

All in all, I would highly recommend the Pet Remedy Natural Bird Calming Kit – and am planning on ordering a kit for an avian rescue I am friends with as a little holiday gift for them!”

Questions and Answers

Compared to humans, cats, dogs and rabbits, there are very few studies on the therapeutic effects of natural herbal plants in companion bird species. However, because of their value to the human food industry, there are a handful of studies in commercial chickens showing positive results for three of the four active ingredients of Pet Remedy (valerian, basil, and clary sage). To date, there are no studies demonstrating adverse or toxic effects for any of the active ingredients of Pet Remedy (valerian, vetiver, basil, and clary sage).

Unlike most other natural calming supplements, Pet Remedy is delivered indirectly as a fine aerosol.

Our Plug-in diffuser periodically delivers small ‘puffs’ of the formula into the pet’s environment, where very small amounts are inhaled while the bird remains in that environment.

To put this into perspective, we are all ‘bathed’ in a sea of millions of scent molecules suspended in the air around us. Many of these molecules are from natural sources, such as the flowers and plants around us, our animals, the humans we live with and so on.

The air we breathe is also packed full of many unnatural molecules from cleaning products, motor car exhaust, industrial processes, and many other sources.

Pet Remedy adds very little to this environmental ‘chemical soup’, yet the bird’s sensitive olfactory (smell) system can readily recognise the individual molecules of the active ingredients (valerian, vetiver, basil, and clary sage). When these molecules bind to the bird’s olfactory receptors, they are converted into electrical signals. These signals then travel upward in the olfactory nerves to the olfactory bulb, and on into the piriform cortex, which is dedicated to translating what the odours mean.

The olfactory system is closely associated with the emotional limbic system. You can find more information on how Pet Remedy works HERE.

The excipient in the Pet Remedy diffuser is called DPG. DPG is a safe, odourless solvent that has been used for decades in diffusers and aerosol products used on and around both humans and animals.

This is a great question, and the answer lies at the heart of evolution itself!

Here’s the story in a nutshell. Our Earth was formed out of the gases and dust floating around in the universe 4.6 billion-year ago.

About a billion years later, one popular theory suggests that the first simple forms of live appeared in hydrothermal vents located deep down on the ocean’s floors. In order to evolve into creatures like us, these early forms of cellular life had to solve an energy crisis; they needed a lot more of it.

Around 500 million years ago, two related solutions to the energy problem emerged, which enabled plants and animals evolve into life on Earth we see around us today. The energy that keeps us all alive is generated by a process called the Krebs Cycle, that runs from the moment we are conceived to a few hours after we die.

Plants use a different version of Krebs called photosynthesis, which is a kind of ‘backwards’ Krebs Cycle. The Krebs cycle generates energy using a process called cellular respiration from two different sources of fuel.

The first is oxygen, harvested in the lungs from the air we breathe. The second is pyruvate, synthesised from the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in our diet. The energy produced is captured in a remarkable molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the waste product of the Krebs cycle is carbon dioxide, which we exhale from our lungs

ATP stores energy like a battery, which it then releases where it is needed to drive all life’s cellular mechanisms making proteins, enzymes etc.

We humans produce our own body weight in ATP every day!

Most animals probably have an equivalent daily ATP turnover. In addition, different species of animals have different daily energy requirements, we are very familiar with this idea from the calory tables printed on the backs of the food packaging we buy.

As a rule, birds have a higher metabolic rate than mammals like humans, cats and dogs, but body size has the biggest influence on lung capacity.

Put simply, smaller birds have smaller lungs because they need to generate less ATP than larger birds. Size does not influence the delicacy, or the susceptibility of lung tissues to damage.
