Just put gin in yours and you won't need any in the family jug

Not wrong at all - would anyone object to it?

That's a hysterical idea- let me know if it works and I'll pop to the chemist in the morning

Drugging them? It's just water and brandy, so you'd be giving them some alcohol but not very much.

it is NOT just water and brandy

it contains Other Things [defensive]

It's homeopathic. It is just water and brandy.

Seriously though, go for it. Definitely not classed as drugging, and if it works then hurrah!

And if it doesn't work, you can move on to Medised like a normal person.

I could probably extract more clematis from a gnat than I could from a bottle of Rescue Remedy.

My friend, in a moment of desperation, tried it on her dog.

He bumped the bottle as she was adding a few drops ...

He was one seriously chilled pooch.

Would be cheaper to add 5 drops of vodka and say a little spell... Will have the same effect

Certainly tastes like brandy. Just pour yourself a stiff brandy and put them all to bed.

My HV suggested we give it ot dd2 when she was about 18 months, at bed time.

It was when holding in her in an almost head lock in order to get her to take it that I realsied the irony

we love rescue remedy in this house from babes in arms to dog to granny.

i have the spray bottle so it is easier to administer. if the dog sees someone getting any he comes over and sits down and gives paw.

I have been almost drinking the stuff recently! But I do sometimes wonder whether the calming effects are just me being a lightweight with the brandy!
