There are many possible detrimental effects on a young pup when it is separated from its mother and siblings, 'processed' in a pet shop or kennel and placed in a new home.

The total impact of all the changes can lead to nervous habits which can develop early in the pups separation and are really a reflection of the difficulties an individual pup might have in coping with any or all of the list below. Further, the stress of the changes can result in a physical depletion of the pup's immunity which can set the pup up for any number of difficult physical health conditions as well.

The changes which a freshly weaned pup has to cope with, from being separated from its mother to ending up in a new home: 

Recently weaned from its mothers milk. 

• Dramatic change in diet and perhaps exposed to cows milk which is totally different from dogs milk. 
• Separation from its siblings which, as a pack animal, can be especially traumatic. 
• Deprived of its natural exercise pattern which, as a pup, is rolling and playing with its siblings. 
• Maybe being expected to sleep on its own without the comfort and warmth of its mother and siblings. 

This list does not include travel, vaccinations and other medical procedures and a far greater contact with humans probably, than the pup has experienced previously.

The acclimatization mix has a combination of simple herbs, nerve tonics and homeopathic remedies which will help with all aspects of a pup's adjustment greatly both physically and emotionally. This offers a real prospect of avoiding the development of nervous and metabolic habits which are really a reflection of difficulty in coping with any or all of the changes a pup must face. The ingredients are Chamomile, Rosehips, Dandelion, Parsley, Garlic and Maritime Pine and the homeopathic Bach Flower Remedies Walnut, Rescue Remedy, Pine, Scleranthus and Centaury.

This combination will serve to protect the pups, immunity, nervous system and metabolism from any detrimental effects of all the changes demanded of a new pup being separated from its mother and siblings, processed and placed in a new home.
