You've booked the appointment, the car ride is done, and your dog has had their scheduled vaccination. Now comes the part nobody puts on the reminder card: the next couple of days. Some dogs sail through without a blink, others go a little quiet, a little clingy, or simply not quite themselves. Welcome to the Waggy Butts Pack - this is exactly where a trainer-approved bit of gentle, targeted support can help your dog feel more like themselves again.
Below are the questions we hear most often at the shop about Adored Beast Rebalancer, answered plainly. It's a short, structured accompaniment to vaccination - not a daily supplement and definitely not a replacement for your vet's care.
What is Adored Beast Rebalancer?
Rebalancer is a two-ingredient homeopathic formula made by Adored Beast in Canada. It comes as a liquid in a convenient 30 mL pump bottle and is designed for short-term use following vaccination in both dogs and cats.
That's it. No long list of fillers, no mystery ingredients - just a small, focused formula built for one specific purpose: gently supporting your pet's system during the days right after a scheduled vaccination, when their body is doing a lot of quiet work behind the scenes.
What's in it, and how does the blend work?
Rebalancer combines two homeopathic ingredients:
- Thuja occidentalis 12C - a classic homeopathic remedy long associated with supporting the body after vaccination.
- Silicea 30C - a homeopathic mineral remedy traditionally used to support the body's natural balance.
They're carried in a gentle liquid base of organic ethanol, purified water, and non-GMO vegetable glycerin, which is what makes it easy to give.
The thinking behind a homeopathic blend like this is simple: rather than pushing or suppressing anything, it gives the body a gentle nudge towards its own natural balance. The two ingredients are chosen specifically to work alongside each other for this narrow window of time after a jab - which is why Rebalancer is a brief, structured course rather than something you keep in the daily rotation.
When exactly should I give it?
The schedule is refreshingly short and clear. Give Rebalancer twice daily for two days following vaccination. That's the whole course - four small servings in total.
You can administer it one of two ways:
- By mouth - spray it inside the cheek rather than towards the back of the throat, which is far more comfortable for your dog.
- In food - add it to a small amount of food so it disappears with a tasty bite.
If you're supporting a puppy or kitten, follow the age- and size-specific directions printed on the product label. There are special instructions for very young or very small pets, so read the label before you start.
How much does a bottle give me?
For an average 60 lb dog, the recommended serving is four pumps (0.5 mL) twice daily for two days. Each complete course uses about 2 mL, which means a single 30 mL bottle covers roughly 15 full two-day courses - handy if you have several pets, or want to keep a bottle on hand for the next scheduled vaccination.
Is Rebalancer suitable for cats too?
Yes. Rebalancer is made for both dogs and cats, which makes it a neat one-bottle solution in a multi-pet home. As always with cats, dose according to the label and double-check the directions if you're supporting a kitten.
How should I store it?
No special fuss here. Don't refrigerate it - just keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from electronic devices. Stored that way, Rebalancer has an approximate shelf life of four years, so a spare bottle won't go to waste.
Are there any safety limits I should know?
A few, and they matter:
- Do not give it for more than 10 consecutive days. Rebalancer is built for short-term, structured use - not long-term.
- Safe use in pregnant animals, or animals intended for breeding, has not been established.
- It isn't recommended after surgery when stitches are present.
- Stop if you notice significant changes or worsening symptoms.
And the most important one of all: Rebalancer is not a substitute for vaccination or veterinary treatment. If your dog shows facial swelling, difficulty breathing, collapse, or repeated vomiting after a vaccination, that's an emergency - seek immediate veterinary attention. Post-vaccine reactions like these are rare, but they need a vet, not a supplement.
Can I use it alongside my dog's other supplements?
Rebalancer is deliberately designed to be a short, standalone course for the days around vaccination, so it doesn't usually need to be slotted into your everyday routine. Once that two-day window has passed, many dog parents turn their attention to everyday resilience - and this is where the rest of our gut and immune range comes into its own.
A couple of things worth mentioning to your vet when you're planning your dog's overall support:
- Adored Beast Fido's Flora or Love Bugs - canine-friendly probiotics that support healthy gut flora, the foundation of so much of your dog's everyday wellbeing.
- North Hound Life Immune Support+ - an organic turkey tail mushroom extract made from fruiting bodies only, to support immune function and antioxidant defences.
- Adored Beast Healthy Gut - digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics in one tri-action powder.
These are everyday supports, not post-vaccination substitutes, and they work best as part of a plan you've discussed with your vet. If you're not sure what your dog actually needs, we're always happy to help you work it out.
Do I need to worry if my dog seems fine after their jab?
Not at all - plenty of dogs breeze through vaccination day without a second thought. Supporting the system gently during that window is simply a kindness, a way of giving your dog's body a little breathing room while it does its quiet work. Think of it as a soft landing, not a fix.
The bottom line
Rebalancer is what trainer-approved, no-fuss support looks like: a simple two-ingredient Canadian-made blend of thuja and silicea, given as a brief two-day course right after your dog's scheduled vaccination. Short, structured, easy to administer, and suitable for both dogs and cats - with a 30 mL bottle that lasts through around fifteen courses.
