Spraying the product in your pet's drinking bowl is in fact the most efficient way of ensuring he will get the product he needs on a daily basis. Water is the largest single constituent of nearly all living plants or animal tissues. Animal bodies may contain 50 to 95 percent water, depending on the species. (Up to 60% of the human body is water).  Therefore, when you use water as the "means of transportation" for the homeopathic product, you ensure that your pet receives the product throughout his body, and in just the right amount too. And in some cases, it is also much easier than "fighting" with your pet to spray the product directly in his mouth. When you follow the dosage recommendations, even though your pet may not drink the whole water bowl, be assured that he is getting what he needs, even though he may be taking only a sip or two of the water. It is somehow difficult to understand how that is possible, I know, but homeopathy works differently from allopathic medication. But in our experience, water is the best way to administer homeopathic remedies. In fact, here at Zumalka, we deliver products in their liquid form for faster absorption and work. Liquid is easier for the body to absorb, so the products can start working faster. Our products contain a trace amount of alcohol (20%) for conservation purposes only, and the homeopathic ingredient (usually organically sourced) is suspended in purified water.
