I don't use Rescue Remedy in dog training. I know some people believe it works, but I think it's a bunch of hooey, and I am not willing to pay to find out right now. If I come across the spray or drops for free, well that might be another situation. Many of the Purely Positive type trainers use this product.
A situation has come up where the Pastilles or candies made by Rescue Remedy contain Xylitol in them. This is well known as very toxic to pets. It can be found also in some toothpaste, chewing gum, and sugarless candies. It's always wise to check the ingredients.
On this site, the inactive ingredients are listed as:
Inactive Ingredients:Sugar substitute (sorbitol, isomalt), gelling agent (gum arabic), natural flavor (black currant), citric acid, natural colors (extract of red cabbage, edler, black carrot), sweetener (xylitol), vegetable oil, glazing agent (vegetable oil, beeswax), sweetener (thaumatin)
Not safe for pets!!!! Yet the Organic Pharmacy lists them as such. I found out about this, due to a blog from a trainer that uses RR, and whose client did not have the drops or spray. The dogs got sick later on, and the label was checked for the ingredients.
Please remember to check your labels, just in case someone has gotten it wrong. Let them know their mistake as well.
Here is a link that shows other products that contain this:
