FAQs - Stress & Anxiety
Our Calming Supplement is specifically formulated to support dogs experiencing stress and anxiety. They contain natural ingredients like L-Theanine, L-Tryptophan, Chamomile, Valerian Root, and Passionflower - all known for their calming properties.
Our calming supplements can help with: separation anxiety, travel stress, fireworks and loud noises, vet visits, and general nervousness. They’re designed for daily use to build long-term resilience.
For best results, we recommend giving calming supplements daily for at least 2-3 weeks to build up in your dog’s system. Some dogs may show improvements sooner, but consistency is key.
If your dog is on prescription medication, please consult your vet before adding any supplements. Our in-house vet team can also advise.
Common signs include excessive barking, destructive behaviour, pacing, panting, trembling, hiding, and inappropriate toileting. Some dogs show more subtle signs like lip licking, yawning, or refusing food. Separation anxiety is the most common form, but noise phobia (fireworks, thunder) and general nervousness are also widespread.
Yes. The amino acid L-Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin - the neurotransmitter that regulates mood and emotional stability. Studies have shown that dietary tryptophan supplementation reduces stress-related behaviours in dogs. A diet that supports gut health also matters, since the gut produces a significant proportion of the body’s serotonin.
It combines several evidence-based calming ingredients: L-Tryptophan (serotonin precursor), L-Theanine (promotes relaxation without drowsiness), Passion Flower (natural anxiolytic), and Valerian Root (calming herb used for decades). These work together to support a calmer nervous system without sedation.
Yes, but for best results start 2-3 days before the expected event rather than on the day itself. The calming ingredients build up over time. For ongoing anxiety, daily use provides the most consistent support.
Absolutely. Supplements support your dog’s neurochemistry, making them more receptive to training. They reduce the baseline level of stress, which means behavioural techniques (desensitisation, counter-conditioning) are more likely to stick. Think of supplements as the foundation and training as the long-term solution.
