Supporting Relaxation with Natural & Safe Aids
For dogs with high anxiety, calming aids can help reinforce training and relaxation strategies. While they’re not a magic fix, they make adjusting to stress much easier.
What to Expect
Usage: As needed, especially before stressful events
Best Times: Fireworks, vet visits, travel, or when home alone
Goal: Help your dog stay relaxed and comfortable
Step-by-Step Plan
1️⃣ Try Calming Treats or Supplements
Natural options like chamomile, L-theanine can ease stress. (Check with a vet before giving)
Best given 30–60 minutes before a stressful event.
2️⃣ Use a Calming Pheromone Diffuser
Releases dog-appeasing pheromones to create a soothing environment.
Great for multi-dog households or separation anxiety.
3️⃣ Provide a Weighted Blanket or Snug Vest
Compression products like the ThunderShirt apply gentle pressure to help reduce anxiety.
4️⃣ Play Calming Sounds
Classical music or white noise can help block out external stressors.
