Little Gifts Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I am not adverse to trying different things with my dogs that others might consider wierd. For instance At least 3 of our dogs over the years have worn crystals with positive effect. It first started when I got given a magnetic hematite necklace and I put it on my old staffy girl - she was black and it looked good on her! Anyway we found out it was good for arthritis and mobility and that girl lived to be almost 17 without any bone or joint issues. She did have some brain and nerve problems that caused her to drag her back toes. We figured she wouldn't have a clue whether it worked or not but she was certainly a lot more lively when the necklace was on so it became a permanent fixture. We then got an amethyst for my sister's dog that was rather highly strung (amethyst is calming) and she has become more content but I think that is more an age thing as it is attached to her collar and she only wears her collar when we leave the house with her these days. We got a clear quartz crystal for my young sbt and it sent her crazy immediately. I can't remember what is was supposed to achieve but it was not good for her so it came off failry quickly. I think she was also wearing turquise at some stage but I can't remember why or whether it worked. So with our new pei girl Tempeh I was reminded of this and when I set her new soft crate up (taking away the metal one) I put a large rough amethyst piece in a pocket of the crate. Instead of being a little concerned about the change of bed arrangements she seems to love the cosiness of her new crate and no longer wakes me early for a piddle; only waking me by 7 so she can have her brekkie. I leave the door of it open but she still prefers it to sleeping on my bed with the other dogs. Sleeping through the night could also be that she is older but she has not peed on her bed and also takes treats and toys in there during the day for privacy and she never did that with the metal crate. Yesterday I was in a bead shop and was drawn to this tumbled piece of amethyst so I bought it. When I came home Tempeh was fascinated with it, sniffing and licking it. So I cleansed it overnight and will wire wrap it tonight and hang it from her harness to see if that calms her down on outings. Anybody else used crystals on their dogs with noticeable change or am I the only hippy here? I love rocks in general but cannot wear crystals or even have them in my pockets - they just amplify things for me and I feel too OTT. So I just have them throughout the house and no-one else is allowed to touch them! Edited February 18, 2013 by Little Gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Actually ive never used them with a pet, good idea tho if it works! Have used them for myself in the past for a few different reasons, one being to get rid of nightmares I used to suffer with. I have had some alternative therapy done on Renae to help her with her health problems shes got atm.. i think its helped a bit, even if its just in my mind ;-) Edited February 18, 2013 by Jules❤3Cavs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's the thing Jules - the dogs don't know what is supposed to happen so I take any change as a sign it's working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah well thats it, obviously a lot of people wouldn't agree, but Ive experienced alternative therapies myself, so im sure they could be useful for some pets as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Tempeh was already being a bit of a cry baby this morning - she is over the rain as much as me, so I got up early and wrapped her amethyst and put it on a rubber necklace thingy and she is wearing it around without a problem, all nice and quiet noise wise but her ears are doing crazy things. She looks quite funky in her bling! Her eyes look a bit funny as she is still healing from entropian surgery a couple of weeks ago.

Dame Aussie Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 *puts hand up* Hippy here :laugh: Although I haven't used them on my dogs, I do keep certain crystals in the house and carry them around with me at times too. She looks very pretty with her new necklace :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
