Rescue Remedy is great stuff. The shelter where I volunteer uses it when they have a new dog come in. The new dogs are generally not used to a kennel type atmosphere and the remedy helps get them through the first trauma of the situation.

We use it here to help when we bathe Carly. She was abused by her previous owners when it comes to water and she is absolutely TERRIFIED of anything to do with water. The Remedy just takes the edge off the fear without drugging her.
