Does My Dog Need Calming Supplements?

A recent study found that over 70% of companion dogs suffer from anxiety, which means that over 62 million American dogs need some help! Luckily, we’ve got a great solution that may help to support anxious, nervous, and hyperactive pups, packed with all natural ingredients to promote calmness and relaxation.

Who needs Calming Supplements?

VOLUME WARNING* for you and this dog’s neighbors! 

If the video above looks familiar, the answer is probably your dog! These soft chews are suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds, and with their delicious peanut butter and bacon flavor, your dog will love you for adding them to their regimen. They can be given daily to dogs exhibiting nervousness, hyperactivity, discontentment or shortly before stressful situations to take the edge off. If you and your dog are dealing with any of the following, these supplements were made for you:

Separation anxiety

If you have ever come home to a path of destruction with your dog at the end, they may have separation anxiety. This is a particularly frustrating type of anxiety, as dogs can be destructive to both themselves and their owners’ belongings, and it takes time and patience to teach your dog that yes, you will return to them at the end of the day.

Dogs often experience separation anxiety when faced with a change in schedule or environment—like you going back to the office after working from home for months. A Calming Supplement can help your dog settle quietly in their crate or safe space as you work on counterconditioning them to see alone time as a positive experience.

Many dogs experience a vicious cycle of motion sickness and anxiety on car ride; Calming Supplement helps to promote relaxation.

Road trips and travel

Road trips are a lot of fun—unless you have a dog screaming and pacing in the backseat! Many dogs experience motion sickness while riding in a car, and even more can be overwhelmed by the overstimulation of the surrounding world whipping past. Staying in an unfamiliar place like a hotel or relative’s home can also be distressing to a dog who is used to the smells and routine of home.

To help support nausea related to motion sickness, Calming Supplements include chamomile, an herb which helps to soothe gastrointestinal issues and has natural calming properties to encourage restful napping while on the road.

Hyperactivity

Too many zoomies? The best solution for a wild pup is simple: more exercise! But on the days you don’t have time to play fetch for an hour in the morning, or go for a 4-mile hike, or when it’s been raining for a week, you might need a little extra help.

Settle your dog in a cozy spot with a nice, long-lasting chew and a dose of Calming Supplement to encourage quiet, restful behavior. You can even work this into your dog’s routine to encourage them to slow down and relax once in a while.

The vet’s office can be a scary place for any dog, but a quality Calming Supplement can make vet care much easier for everyone.

Vet visits

Some lucky dogs enjoy seeing their friends at the vet’s office, but for many, vet visits can be a very scary experience! White coats, weird smells, gloved hands, and needles even make people nervous, so it’s no wonder that many dogs get a bit spooked. If your dog is not a fan of the vet, give them a dose of Calming Supplement 30 minutes to an hour before you head to your appointment—your dog and vet will thank you!

Reactivity training

Sometimes called leash aggression, reactivity is when a dog consistently overreacts to specific triggers in their environment by barking, lunging, or snarling at the end of the leash. This behavior can look scary, but it is really the dog’s way of trying to look scary so that whatever trigger they see at the moment (another dog, a skateboard, a man wearing a hat, etc.) doesn’t come too close for comfort.

Many dogs and their owners deal with this frustrating issue on a daily basis, making it stressful to even go for a walk around the neighborhood. Training can resolve reactivity with time, but a dog cannot learn when their brain is in fight-or-flight mode. Combining persistent training with a calming aid can help take the edge off so that your dog can learn that the world is not so scary, after all!

If your dog runs for cover at the first rumble of thunder, Calming Supplement could be their new favorite!

Fireworks, thunderstorms, and other scary loud noises

Did you know that more dogs go missing on the Fourth of July than any other day in America? Combine ultra-sensitive hearing with inexplicable explosions in the sky and it’s no wonder so many pups want to escape or hide at all costs from those big, scary sounds.

If your dog heads for a hidey hole at the first rumble of thunder, or whines and paces when the neighbors get overzealous with their home fireworks displays, try a dose of Calming Supplement to help keep your pet calm and relaxed!

Real Results with Calming Supplement

Remember the anxious, barky boi from the beginning of this post? Here’s his “after” video, and a testimonial from his owner:

My rescue dog has separation anxiety, exaggerated by the fact that I haven’t left his side for 18 months in the pandemic. We give him the calming supplements daily and he’s been much calmer when he’s left alone and even does better at the vet and when we have people over. He still seems like himself, just more relaxed! — Casey and her pit bull, Calvin
