Everything you want to know before you order — how they work, what makes them safe, and what to expect for your pet.

Flower essences are a natural, non-sedating way to support anxious pets. If you have a question that isn't covered here, email support@customessenceblends.com (our parent company) and we will get back to you personally.

Why don't flower essences have a smell?

Because they are not oils or herbs.

They are energetic extracts.

This makes them completely unscented with nothing to overwhelm sensitive noses.

That is why our blends have no fragrance to overwhelm your pet.

Why are flower essences different from essential oils or herbs?

Flower essences are water-based energetic extracts that capture the vibrational imprint of a flower.

They contain no plant oils, no scent compounds, and no active herbal compounds.

Essential oils are concentrated aromatic plant extracts that can be toxic to cats and birds.

Herbal remedies use the physical components of plants and can interact with medications.

Flower essences do none of these things.

Completely odorless, oil-free, and safe for all species.

Do flower essences contain allergens?

Flower essences are highly diluted preparations and are generally considered safe for pets with allergies.

The process of creating flower essences involves such extensive dilution that the risk of triggering allergic reactions is minimal.

Every Calm Animal Solutions blend contains just three ingredients: vegetable glycerine, filtered water, and custom chosen flower essences. No preservatives, no artificial ingredients, no fillers, no oils, no scent compounds.

If your pet has known allergies or sensitivities, check with your vet before introducing any new product.

Is this backed by vets?

Flower essences are widely recognized as safe and often used alongside veterinary care.

While not a prescription, they can complement the training or medical support your vet recommends.

"Flower essences are gentle, non-invasive emotional support tools that holistic veterinarians sometimes recommend for anxiety—especially during vet visits or stressful transitions. They’re not a substitute for veterinary care, but they can complement it as long as your vet is in the loop."

How do you know which essences to use?

Each blend is customized through Catherine's animal communication process.

She listens to your pet's concerns directly, then selects the essences that best fit their specific emotional needs.

No two blends are identical.

How fast will I see results?

Many pet owners report noticeable changes within the first week.

Individual results vary.

Pets with longstanding emotional patterns may take a little longer.

If you are not seeing a shift at 3 weeks, schedule your complimentary check-in (schedule if you need support).

Will my pet need this forever?

Most pets show lasting improvements with 1 to 2 bottles.

Some owners choose to continue with our Always Calm monthly blends to support their pet through normal ongoing stressors like holidays, moves, or household changes.

Are flower essence blends safe with medications or supplements?

Yes.

Flower essences contain no oils, herbs, or active compounds that interact with medications or supplements.

Safe to use alongside any veterinary treatment.

Always consult your vet if you have specific concerns.

It is completely fine to add your blend to a communal water bowl or mist shared sleeping and eating areas.

You may actually notice faster results when the whole household has access.

A fellow animal communicator once ordered a blend for one of her three dogs and added it only to the kitchen water bowl. She noticed all three dogs started drinking exclusively from that bowl. When she asked them why, their answer was simple. "We want the good water."

What if I wait to order?

All blends are custom-made one pet at a time.

Spots are limited each week, so the sooner you order, the sooner your pet can start feeling calm and safe.

How long does it take to process my order?

All orders are processed within 2 to 5 business days after receiving your order confirmation email, excluding weekends and holidays.

You will receive a notification when your order has shipped.

Do you ship internationally?

Please email support@customessenceblends.com (our parent company) for your international shipping rate calculation.

What is your refund policy?

Because all blends are custom-made, once an order is filled we are unable to offer refunds, returns, or exchanges.

If you are not seeing a shift at 3 weeks, schedule your complimentary check-in (schedule if you need support).
