Reiki is a very effective therapy for horses, dogs and cats for several different reasons: it deeply relaxes them so their immune system is able to work at optimum levels. This lets them heal faster from veterinary procedures and lessens the side effects of the drugs in their system.
In addition to healing on the physical level, Reiki heals on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels of the animal. This helps with behavior issues, such as cribbing and wood chewing in horses; separation anxiety and barking in dogs; avoiding the litter box and tension/hostility between cats sharing the same household. (see my article Healing Animal Grief).
