Practitioners & Retailers

If you’ve already read our 100% organic page you’ll have seen that we take immense care that our products are of the highest quality.

Our essential oils are of outstanding therapeutic efficiency and depth of fragrance. For example, we offer three different altitudes of Fine Lavender all of which are distilled for at least two hours rather than the industry norm of one so as to ensure the vital coumarins come across.

Our flower essences and tinctures are made with finest quality organic 92.4% proof grape alcohol so they do not contain a trace of the essential oil of grape.

All we use to dry our dried herbs are the warm winds of the Midi.

If you are looking for a particular plant then please do use our search facility which quickly finds plants in all the forms that we can supply to you.

As professionals in this business you would also be particularly welcome to contact us to discuss any aspect of the products we supply.

Dr Petal’s Elixirs for Animals

Flower essences have been called “the revolutionary stress management therapy of the 21st Century.” Renowned for its high success rate, ease of use and complete safety record, all backed up by a growing number of scientific clinical trials, this amazing therapy is increasingly finding its way into the heart of mainstream as well as complementary healthcare.

One of the problems with using flower essence therapy for animals has always been the skill involved in selecting an essence or combination of essences for a particular behavioural or psychological problem in an animal. This is where the Dr Petals’ Elixirs come in, making the selection easy, quick and efficient for the busy veterinary surgery or behaviour practice.

The Dr Petals range, an update on the pioneering work of Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s, was designed by the Society for Animal Flower Essence Research (S.A.F.E.R) in conjunction with Tortue Rouge. Our remedies are based on many years of research carried out with veterinary personnel, animal rescue workers, trainers and behaviourists and other animal care professionals. The Dr Petals range comprises nine Elixirs, specially designed combination essences aimed at a wide range of behavioural problems commonly affecting dogs, cats, horses and other domestic animals: from FEARS for stress-related problems to SEPARATION ANXIETY for dogs that are agitated when left alone; CRISIS for all acute stress such as in travelling or being examined by the vet; and OLD TIMER to help elderly animals who may be lacking sparkle.

Dr Petals’ Elixirs are 100% organic, crafted from superior quality ingredients. They may be used alongside any form of medication, whether homeopathic, herbal or conventional. No adverse effects have ever been recorded in over 70 years of flower essence use.

What vets and pet owners have reported on the use of Dr Petals’ Elixirs:

“I have just re-ordered a new supply of Dr Petals. I have had good feedback from clients. One said: ‘The ELIXIR OF LIFE brought my cat back from the dead’.”

Richard Allport, B.Vet.Med., Vet.M.F.Hom., M.R.C.V.S

Senior Vice-President of the British Assocation of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons

“Having looked for a quality flower essence range to satisfy customer demand for their pets, I have been very satisfied with the performance of the Dr Petals products, especially the FEARS essence. Initially healthily sceptical, I have seen many clients report a reduction in anxiety and negative behaviour in their treated pets. Palatability seems good, and owner compliance high. Backup from the company has been excellent, as has their packaging and promotional literature. In my opinion, as an adjunctive treatment for many pets in many situations, this range has a lot to offer.”
Andy Forsyth BVMS M.R.C.V.S.
Battle Flats Veterinary Clinic YORK

“I have had great results using SEPARATION ANXIETY with my own dog, and I would recommend this to anyone.”
J. Vyse, Veterinary Nurse

“All of our rescue dogs are given TRUST to help them settle into their new homes. I have witnessed this amazing remedy turning around a couple of the most traumatised rescue dogs I have ever seen. The CRISIS Elixir has also played a huge part when stressful journeys had to be undertaken.”
Mrs Jefferey, Irish Retriever Rescue

(Mrs Jefferey went on to say about her elderly dog Freddie:)
“Unfortunately, of late, Freddie’s lifelong struggle to overcome vaccine damage appeared to be getting the better of him, and he was definitely beginning to lose his sparkle despite my having tried many other flower essence products. My friend suggested using ELIXIR OF LIFE, which has been developed for the animal recuperating after an illness, and the self-explanatory OLD TIMER. I am delighted to say that Freddie is now full of beans again, even chasing after one of my younger dogs who pinched his ball on a rope – previously he would just have stood there looking disinterested. He has now started coming up and asking me to play “tuggy” with him again. I am absolutely thrilled.”

Other satisfied customers report:

“I had an awful problem with my rescue bitch. I tried many different essences to help her with separation anxiety but nothing was working. The dog was literally eating her way through doors, carpets and stone floors, even totally demolishing her crate. After a week on the Dr Petals SEPARATION ANXIETY elixir, the demolition was almost completely stopped!”

“Having two elderly golden girls with medical problems I was looking for something to give them a bit of a lift. It was suggested I try Dr Petals’ OLD TIMER and ELIXIR OF LIFE, which I have done. I am pleased to say that both elderlies are very happy and literally bouncing with the love of life. I will certainly continue to use Dr Petals’ Elixirs.”

“A client’s mare was terrified of her own shadow – now on the FEARS elixir she’s a different horse: happy, confident and enjoying work. Another client’s gelding would race to the back of the stable if anyone raised a hand to stroke him – since being on FEARS he’s become a cuddly pony.”

“Within three days of being on FEARS, my very nervous rescue cat walked into a room where I was running a course, jumped up on the sofa and went to sleep amongst a roomful of strangers.”

Search Facility

There is a relational database behind the Tortue Rouge site which at present enables you to
- search by common plant name, or
- botanical plant name

These searches will show you every form in which we offer that particular species commercially

You can also key in common ailments. At present this produces in some cases a very lengthy list of plants that have been traditionally used in the treatment of this problem. We are in the process of refining this and over the months to follow will be introducing data sheets linked to specific health problems.
