Pet first aid using homeopathy
Melanie Krneta, Reiki Master and Homeopath, will teach a class about first aid for pets using homeopathy.
People will learn about Homeopathy and how it works and about six very important remedies that may make a difference to pet in a first aid situation, according to Krneta.
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old practice that uses elements found in nature to create wonderful remedies that are fast acting and have no side-effects. People can learn how to use these in conjunction with their veterinary care to help their pet through a crisis or just a ride in the car, Krneta said.
The class will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 27, at The Tipsy Chef, 45 Seneca Street, Oil City. The fee is $50 and includes a six-remedy kit and handout.
To reserve a spot, call (814) 428-9895 or stop into the Tipsy Chef where people can prepay. People may also PayPal the class fee to AdoptPreciousPaws@gmail.com
