Calming Aids for Dogs, Cats, and other Animals

When dogs cannot adapt to stress, it can lead to anxiety, nervousness, hyperactivity, excess barking, abnormal urine marking, trembling or shivering, and destructive or aggressive behavior. Animals have emotions too. They feel fear, anger, jealousy, depression, happiness and joy just like us. Unfortunately, we are not able to ask our pet why it acts depressed, but we do know if it misses a friend or gets overly excited around new people and that is how we select the correct remedies for our animals. Let me tell you about a few products that can aid in the calming of your pet when it is stressed out.

Bach Rescue Remedy

Rescue Remedy Pet is an alcohol free variation of the original stress relieving formula Rescue Remedy that has been available for more than 80 years. It can be used to create a calming effect in any stressful situation, or when your pet needs help overcoming a variety of emotional or behavioral problems.
Rescue Remedy Pet contains a blend of 5 of the 38 Bach Original Flower Remedies, as developed by Dr. Edward Bach, which help your pet cope with different emotional aspects of stressful situations:
Rock Rose, for terror and panic
Impatiens, addresses irritation and impatience
Clematis, for inattentiveness and lack of interest
Star of Bethlehem, for shock or trauma
Cherry Plum, for a lack of self-control
Bach Rescue Remedy can be found in a 10ml bottle with dropper and you can either put it in your pets food, water, on a treat, or directly in their mouth.



Pet Naturals Calming Chews

Calming is an advanced formula that contains a combination of ingredients not found in other calming formulas, such as L-Theanine (Suntheanine brand), and Thiamine (Vitamin B1), all of which support neurotransmitter balance and relaxation to address stress-related behavior. L-Theanine is known to support dopa-mine and GABA balance, while Thiamine supports normal disposition and a healthy appetite. They are available in a small size for dogs 25 pounds and under, and a medium-large size for dogs 26 pounds and over.

Composure

The ingredients in Composure work synergistically to support relaxation without changing your dog’s personality or energy levels. The C3 colostrum calming complex supports stress reduction and cognitive function; L-Theanine helps the body produce other amino acids to bring specific neurotransmitters back into balance; and B vitamins (thiamine) affect the central nervous system to help calm anxious animals. When combined in this formula, they provide a calming effect to support a relaxed state without causing drowsiness or impaired motor skills. Composure is easily administered in a tasty chicken liver flavored soft chew and can be used as a daily supplement or, as needed in stressful situations.
