Questionnaire: Signature Essence for Pets

The animals we love express their uniqueness in a thousand different ways, easily understood as one or two main character strengths in their personalities.

  • Understanding your pet’s signature, or double signature, essence is an invaluable tool in forging a deeper animal/human bond.
  • For example, a youthful, playful animal is a Spinach signature pet.
  • An exceptionally curious pet is an Avocado signature pet.

Place a checkmark by each statement that describes your pet’s basic nature, and then refer to the Answer Key at the bottom.

  • Two or three checked statements in a grouping indicates a probable signature essence for your pet (several groupings overlap in qualities).
  • If more than two groupings contain three checkmarks, prioritize them according to the set that’s most predominant.
  • The remaining groups with checkmarks indicate that your pet often expresses the positive states of the corresponding essences.
  • A purring cat, for example, is demonstrating the positive Orange qualities; a dog guarding your property is expressing the positive Grape state.

What People Are Saying

“A common challenge is the animal with a behavioral imbalance. These animals are commonly passed on to unsuspecting new families, or destroyed. The use of flower essences has not only made a great difference in how these animals respond but has provided a roadmap into understanding their emotional makeup.” Rena Ferreira, D.V.M.

 

“If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I don’t think I would’ve believed the change in our dog Lou after a day on Pear. And there was even more improvement over the next few days. Even though the other dogs barked at him and he perked up, there was almost no barking on his part.” – Richard C., pet owner
