The ones with an asterisk (*) up front, are the ones I feel are essential for anyone serious about using the Bach Flower Remedies with themselves and their pets.

Learning More About Using the Bach Flower Remedies With PetsThese are all of the Bach Remedy and Animal books that I recommend and even then, with the exception of the horse book, I recommend them with reservations, although each also has some very good information. The others were all written by people very knowledgeable of the Bach Flower Remedies but less so with animal behavior. As a result in places they tend to anthropomorphize and may not always offer the best advice. I am working on my own book which will hopefully be completed sometime in late 2006.
