Frequently Asked Questions

In 1796, a German medical doctor named Samuel Hahnemann discovered the principles of homeopathy. The therapy is based on the theory of "like cures like." That is, if a substance causes a symptom, consuming a very small amount of the same substance may cure the illness by prompting the body's own healing mechanisms to relieve different ailments and return the body to a healthy condition.

Comprehensive homeopathy describes Gula Pet's functional approach to combining remedies to temporarily relieve symptoms or symptom patterns. Our Gula formulas contain several different remedies at varying potencies, including those derived from plants, animals and minerals. This more comprehensive approach makes the remedies better suited for temporarily relieving co-aligning symptoms, thus making the remedy selection process easier.

Classical homeopathy primarily refers to the use of single remedies at one dosage, which requires more extensive homeopathic understanding to administer.

There is a rich tradition of using homeopathic medicines in the treatment of animals that dates back over 200 years. Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy said that "Homeopathic methods are for animals, in a word, exactly as safe and sure as they are for human beings."

Homeopathic methods are safe and gentle for animals and can be used as a complementary treatment to conventional treatment methods. Homeopathic medicines work by promoting your animal's natural ability to heal by temporarily relieving symptoms.

The use of homeopathic medicines is supported by over 200 years of clinical observation. They have established an exceptional safety record during that timeframe. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of scientific studies published on homeopathy in medical journals. Clinical research is evaluating the evidence of homeopathic medicine while laboratory research is studying the potential biological activity of highly diluted substances to better understand their potential mechanism of action.

Gula Pet remedies were formulated by an MD homeopath with many years of experience in the application and development of single remedy and complex homeopathic remedies for humans. We have partnered with DesBio, which has delivered homeopathy safely to the general public through healthcare practitioners since 1993.

Yes, Gula Pet homeopathic remedies are registered with the F.D.A. They are also manufactured under an F.D.A. registered process, in an F.D.A. inspected facility, meeting all GMP (good manufacturing practice) standards.

Homeopathy is used and recommended by veterinarians on a daily basis in several thousand clinics throughout the U.S.A. Veterinary schools in the US do not always include homeopathy in their core studies, but many veterinarians receive elective formal studies after veterinary school. Those who have not received formal training have learned from trusted colleagues and experience in practice, that the approach can do no harm and that it does often help in many cases.

Yes, if you are using 2 homeopathic remedies for the same symptom, they may be dosed together. If the remedies are for different symptoms, space them 20 minutes apart.

There are no known side effects to date. However, if a pet is susceptible to homeopathy, an improvement may be seen in as little as one dose, and if the remedy is continued at full dosing schedule, an aggravation of symptoms may occur. Ceasing to use the remedy should alleviate symptoms.

Due to the highly diluted active ingredients, there is minimal chance of overdosing on a homeopathic remedy. Please contact your veterinarian if your pet consumes more than the recommended dosage and take note if any symptoms arise.

When dosing very small birds and animals that weigh less than a pound, we recommend diluting 3 drops of the remedy in 6 oz of water and administering 2-3 drops of the diluted solution per dose. Please consult your veterinarian about reptiles and exotic animals.

Gula Pet homeopathic remedies have a perforated safety seal which can be peeled off, allowing the dropper cap to twist off easily.

Per FDA regulatory guidelines, homeopathic remedies cannot cure or treat any health condition. Homeopathic remedies can be supportive for temporary symptom relief for self-diagnosed symptoms or discomforts.

With general dosing, one bottle will generally last approximately one month and longer with smaller animals. In acute dosing situations, one bottle may last less than a month. See dosing instructions for more information.

Colloidal silver is a broad term for a solution that can contain various concentrations of ionic silver compounds, silver colloids, or silver compounds bound to proteins in water.

It is common to measure silver concentration using parts per million (ppm), which means so many parts of silver per million parts of water.

Our silver technology is a colloidal silver, but our manufacturing process produces a silver nano particle which has a silver oxide coating, which allows us to use lower PPMs than traditional colloidal silver.

We look for the most pure and effective ingredients, we source medical grade, 99.99% pure silver. Before we begin the manufacturing process, we test our silver to ensure it is free of any heavy metals.

Silver is a naturally occurring mineral which is already a part of an animal's diet. The silver in our products is at a very low concentration of just 10 ppm in our liquid silver to 32 ppm in our topical gel. Our nano technology uses less silver particles than other ionic or colloidal silver products which results in much less silver ingested. Our safety studies have shown the metallic nano-silver particles are all flushed out of the body within approximately 24 hours.

Warning: For pets under veterinarian care for compromised liver or kidney function, consult your veterinarian before starting any new health supplementation. Use caution when applying with glass dropper and do not insert glass dropper directly into pet's mouth.

Our silver can be safely used without any significant risk of overdose. We recommend consulting your veterinarian before taking, and follow the recommended dosing provided.

If your pet is on immunosuppressants, you must consult your veterinarian before using.

Our liquid silver solution's low concentration (10 ppm) has no adverse effects on beneficial gut bacteria when recommended dosing is followed.
