A complete line of Bach Flower Essences are available for purchase at Kaye Ames School for Dogs.



Bach Flower Essences are a gentle, safe, effective and natural way to help your canine companion lead a healthier and happier life. 

 

Kaye Ames School for Dogs maintains a complete inventory of Bach Flower Essences and can advise you on the appropriate formula or combination of formulas for your canine's particular problem.  Kaye also conducts Bach Flower Essence Seminars by request for clubs and organizations.
