Healing Crystals: How to Use Them on Your Dog

If you want to see if crystals can help your dog, you can choose to use them in a variety of ways:

• Attach (or glue) them to their collar
• Attach a few to their leash
• Place the crystal under their sleeping spot (BUT make sure they can’t find and swallow the crystal when you’re not looking)
• Infuse your dog’s water with the crystal by placing the crystal in their water bowl for a few hours (note: make sure the bowl is out of their reach while it’s “infusing” and choose a crystal that is tumbled and won’t disintegrate)
