Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 So your dog chooses her crystals to chew on, Renau? Great... I was finally feeling like I had enough to start working on me, now I need a set for my dogs - lol. Petuna, my pug, has stolen a piece of pink petalite several times now. When I told mom, she wondered whether I should make some sort of contraption around her neck and whichever one she was attracted to, let her carry it around for a day or two. But you just allow them to gently chew on them? That would make her very happy if I allow her. jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 But you just allow them to gently chew on them? That would make her very happy if I allow her. You just want to make sure it is not small enough for her to choke on. Also, make sure you know what the MOHs hardness level is of that particular piece. As an example, Selenite is soft and a dog could easily chew it into bits. Also flaking or layered stones (shale as an example) would not be the best idea.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Aloha All, As much as this discussion about crystals and animals is interesting, it is probably still best advised to know about the toxicity levels of the minerals before allowing an animal chew on them and possibly be ingested. Many minerals especially in their raw state are not recommended for use in their raw state. The properties of minerals when used ON the body or skin are effective because of the energetic property each had that is enhanced when connecting with the electrical system that also runs through the body. Use of minerals can at times seem 'magical' and truly they are awesome, but they do have scientific properties that are intrinsic to their 'beingness'. Using intuition sometimes allows one the bypass knowing their properties, but should not allow anyone to feel like any use is necessarily safe or non-toxic even in small quantities. I have seen a list published here that gives information on stones that should not be used as 'elixirs'-stones soaked in water to transfer their energetic propertied to the water before use. Perhaps that could serve as guidelines for stones and minerals not the allow a pet the chew on. Perhaps someone reading this can locate that, if I can't locate mine to post. My intention is not to discourage their use, but encourage wise use of these beautiful entities. My son recently took his dog to the vet because when he returned home from work the dog had become violently ill after consuming the contents of a can of cocoa powder Sadie had knocked off the shelf and pried the lid of off. The small amount of caffeine in the chocolate that was ingested could have cause a loss of life. Dogs having a tendency to chew on and ingest many unknowns seem to be a situation that should be taken seriously. I have seen dog and cat collars with stones attached an that makes perfect sense to me. For me each stone is an entity with specific message and personality and treat them as 'friends', so also would feel uncomfortable with allowing one to be treated as a 'thing' and I would have difficulty in allowing one to be chewed on as a matter of principle. Hopefully this will offer some helpfulness to this discussion.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 you can wire wrap the stone and make it so it would fit her collar..or you can make a cloth collar that you have sewn little pockets into that the stones or crystals will fit into that way you can change them as you need to. and they wont get lost... i have Irish wolfhounds that carry about a crystal or two .. but i try never to let them chew on them as it can cause damage to there teeth. i was doing a crystal meditation once with crystal points around me...Megan my female removed one of the crystals.. and it made a big shift in the meditation i am convinced she knew what she was doing.. i also have a crystal in there water bowl as well as the cats.. they don't seem to bother them at all.. when i first put them in it was as if they couldn' t get enough of the water. i guess crystals are not just for us humans. " insert smile.. " but ohhhh how hard it is to share sometimes.. when i have that extra special one... its always the one that seems to be the one i have to give away..but what a blessing when new ones come into it.. have a grand day.. candace briarwoodpups <briarwoodpups wrote: So your dog chooses her crystals to chew on, Renau?

" insert smile.. " A specific kind of crystal or a regular quartz? Interesting concept. I think I'll make the soft fabric collar with pouches on it for the dogs if they are attracted to a crystal. I was going to watch to see if they were just licking or actually trying to chew in which case I'd have to remove it to protect their teeth and from breaking the stone itself. Maybe I should try a petalite essence and put it in Petunia's water? Hmmmm.... jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I bought some kits at Michael's to make Native American style (so they say anyway) medicine bags. Figured I could tie them around the dogs' necks and put a stone or two in them. I was wondering though if they have to actually come in contact with skin or fur, though. And of course, this would be just around the house and when supervised. Outside they'd probably get torn off and inside unsupervised they might get mistaken for chewie treats and eaten! --Martha briarwoodpups <briarwoodpups ....When I told mom, she wondered whether I should make some sort of contraption around her neck and whichever one she was attracted to, let her carry it around for a day or two.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I personally wouldn't attach a crystal to an animal as that is taking away their choice. I prefer to leave them out and allow my dog to lie near the ones she wants to be near. Most animals are smart enough to know what crystals are good and which are not good for them at any time as they are more sensitive to their energies than we are.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 i wouldn't attach a crystal to an animal that he didn't like... when my dog had puppies one hurt its foot somehow and had a slight limp .. at first i used Amethyst and the puppy wouldn't hold still at all so i changed to blue lacy agate and he just laid on my lap soaking it up so no i wouldn't put a crystal or stone on my dogs collar or on my dog without first making sure they agreed to it.. if i noticed any sort of disease i would remove it. but you are very right about just adding something to the dogs collar without first seeing how the animal thinks. but if the animal shows a liking to it i would add it to there collar instead of just letting them chew away...i would also take it off if i noticed any negative change in the animal. as you said most animals are are more sensitive to what they want and need. candace murielblackley2 <murielblackley2 wrote: I personally wouldn't attach a crystal to an animal as that is taking away their choice.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I put together a little velvet bag of stones for my Weimaraner. I put it in his bed when I left for the day. When I got home, the entire bag was in the middle of the room. I didn't think much about it and put it in his bed the next day, well, same thing happened. I *finally* realized he was doing it on purpose and there was something in there that was affecting him negatively. I was going to put one at a time in the bag and figure out which one it was. And then all of a sudden, it hit me, he didn't like the amber. I guess HE was telling me!! I removed the amber and the velvet bag has stayed in his bed ever since. I would hate to think what would have happened had it been around his neck. I do put stones on my dog's collars, but I always test them first. This really taught me a big lesson!!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Nope, they don't need to come in contact with the skin. I've used healing layouts both on myself and my dogs, stones probably about 6 inches away from the body with great effect. Crystals sitting about all over my house, we still get benefit from them.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 My favorite stones for arthritic conditions are anything with a high copper content....that is why the Native Americans and Tibetans highly reverred Turquoise, Malachite and Azurite...as well as copper bracelets (Azuite is a psuedomorph and over time will oxidize and turn into malachite...pretty wild huh?) Copper helps with joint inflammations and moves stagnant conditions. Anytime you have an itis at the end of the word it implies and inflamed condition. Inflamed conditions have a " red " nature and do well with the opposite spectrum which is blue. That is why Ghiridali Dinshah, the father of color healing, recommends turquoise for all burns and body inflammations. High copper stones actually have a chemical reaction when worn against the skin to pull in thru the buffering salts of the skin and create copper salts which in turn help produce your anti-oxidant enzymes...to fight inflammation. You can easily get some turquoise and malachite beads....and put them on your doggies collar and let them hang a bit so they have that reaction closer to the skin. So needless to say I second some of Tracy's suggestions below.
