Lighting Capital!
First thing everyone needs to know is that central Florida is referred to as the lightning capital of the world. When I arrived on Monday the electricians were installing a new electric meter from a strike the day before. For some reason this kennel gets hit quite often. Kathy immediately took me inside and showed me the heavy gauge steel cage that Bart had bent out of shape with his jaws trying to escape during the last storm. She also told me he had destroyed the inside of his owners car during a lightning strike. My reaction, "why do they keep this dog" ? Kathy stated "the dog is kind, loving and peaceful except when a storm with lightning approaches as are many of the other animals including the horses which they also board at the kennel". Kathy what % of the animals get this way when a storm is approaching. At least 25 to 30 %.
We have been using prescription drugs including seizure medication from
our veterinarian but hated to give to the animals because we know how bad
they are to the animals system. One day I was discussing this problem with
Kit who boards her dog with me from time to time. Kit recommended we try
Peace & Calming from Young Living. I was desperate
and decided to give Peace & Calming a try although I
must tell you I was very
skeptical. Kit offered a bottle at no charge,
otherwise I might not have tried it. We now call Peace &
Calming the Lightning Oil!
On Horses too?
We put Peace & Calming on all four pads of the
dogs and on the center of the muzzle between the nostrils for horses. It
is amazing how well it works. You put Peace & Calming
on horses? Yes says Kathy and on show horses. We have a Philly
named Gilly (I Know) we were trying to train for show and the ferrier was
scared to death Gilly was going to kill him. Gilly would just go crazy
kicking and rearing up. The ferrier refused to go near Gilly until we
calmed her down. We tried the Lightning Oil and within 20 minutes Gilly
was as calm as could be. The ferrier was a happy guy. We also work with
Arabian horses for show. Arabians are very temperamental especially when
new to the shows.
Unbelievable! No more problems since we are using
Peace & Calming.
Grooming too!
Kathy, do you use Peace & Calming in other areas in the kennel? Yes we do. We have a grooming service and some of the dogs become nervous. Our Groomer Jeanine uses the oil routinely. Only on one occasion did it not work. Kathy, please ask Jeanine to put the Peace & Calming in the palm of her hand and cup over the dogs nose on its next visit. Ok we’ll certainly try.
Storm approaching and the Vet!
Kathy says she knows when a storm is approaching. The animals start pacing. We run for the Lightning Oil and Bart gets it first for sure. Maurice your members might be interested in knowing our veterinarian Dr. McCartney is now using Peace & Calming in his clinic. Others in the immediate area that are using this marvelous product are Pony Express, Kritters Korner and our local feed and supply.
Thank you Kathy Roach for this information. I am sure it will be most helpful to animal owners around the country. Maybe this is why Young Living was out of Peace & Calming last week.
