How to use
All Agripathics remedies come in liquid form, as we have found this to be the easiest way to administer them.
You can dose a chicken or bird individually or at the flock level.
Individually:
Homeopathic remedies are best administered onto a mucus membrane, so directly into the mouth, otherwise into food or water..
Flock Level:
This is best done by adding one capful or dropperful to their water trough, so that each time they drink, they receive a dose.

Preserved in a mild alcohol base. Alcohol / Spring water
About our ethanol base
At Natural Pet, our liquid remedies are preserved using organic-certified ethanol derived from a mild cane or wheat base, gently prepared at just 10% concentration. This helps support product integrity while remaining palatable and suitable for daily use.
Ethanol and your feathered friend's wellbeing
Each dose contains only a drop or two of ethanol, and most animals tolerate it without issue. However, if your chicken or bird shows sensitivity, you can:
- Add the drops to food or a treat and let sit for 20 minutes before offering
- Mix with a small amount of water and allow to stand for 20 minutes before dosing
For birds or chickens, we recommend always diluting the drops into fresh drinking water.
We choose ingredients that honour both purity and purpose. Our ethanol is part of that commitment—organic, clean, and thoughtfully balanced to support your animal’s health journey.

★★★★★I am sorry to have to say this, but this product has done absolutely nothing to help my bird, who is still plucking furiously. And I had such high hopes. for a cure.I have followed the directions for the Pluckie carefully, just as required. I have done everything possible to help her, incl ding repeated visits to 3 vets,She has the best food, a big cage lots of toys and attention, and has been checked by 3 vets, who say she is very healthy.

★★★★★Pluckie for my geeseI was so pleased to find Naturalpet when searching for support for my distressed goose. He’d recently come to join our family and had been plucking his chest feathers in all the upheaval. He has settled right down and so have I! Great communication, speedy delivery, and all in all I was very happy with the Pluckie drops. I’ve recommended Natural Pet for friends with pets in need. Thank you! (:
