Dog Supplements for Anxiety, Stress & Calming

Your dog has got a pretty stressful day ahead of them. There’s the 📫 mailman, the doorbell 🔔 , the vacuum, the squirrel in the window, the guests, the car horn down the street, the squirrel in the other window 🪟, the thunder 🌩️, the vet visit, and (believe it or not) much, much more. Our dog supplements for anxiety dial down those stressors and help your dog keep their composure, letting them enjoy the Happy Paws life, full of tail-waggin’ treats and paw-some vibes!

What Are Dog Supplements for Anxiety?

Our pet anxiety supplements are made with an all-natural formula to settle your dog’s nerves and relax their mind. These Calming and Cognitive Dog Supplements use a blend of compounds, like passion flower, chamomile, essential vitamins, and tryptophan, to give your pupper layers of soothing benefits. You can add a Calming or Cognitive Dog Supplement to your dog’s kibble or use it as a training treat, enticing them with lip-lickin’ lamb or chicken flavors.

How to Give Your Dog Calming Chews

Our Calming and Cognitive Dog Supplements make for a wonderful topper to your dog’s morning or nighttime food. Plus, you can use them as a treat to reward your dog for good behavior. Typically, you’ll want to give your canine Calming or Cognitive Chews a couple of hours before stressful situations. This buffer will give the treat time to digest and fully absorb into your dog’s body.

But how many treats should you give your anxious dog? An optimal dose depends on your pet’s weight. Are they a petite pupper or a big chunker? Here’s a helpful chart that breaks down the best serving for your doggo!

Stress and anxiety don’t just affect older dogs; younger adult dogs can experience waves of anxiety and stress, too. Our Calming and Cognitive Soft Chews for Dogs are designed to help anxious adult dogs of all ages, giving them the necessary ingredients to enjoy a calmer, more controlled behavior.

“Dog anxiety” can be triggered by a number of things. From house guests to fireworks to thunder to the dreaded vacuum, your dog can be scared of quite a few random things—ones you would’ve never suspected. Common symptoms of canine anxiety include barking, panting, hiding, restlessness, and whimpering. If you’re concerned about your dog’s anxiety, it’s always best to consult your veterinarian first.

Calming and Cognitive Dog Supplements work like any other edible pet supplement; they take some time to absorb fully. So, timing the dose might require a little planning on your part. Give your anxious pet a Calming Treat or Cognitive Dog Chew a couple of hours before you anticipate a stressor. This extra time will allow your dog to fully absorb the treat’s calming botanicals beforehand.

Your dog’s ideal dose depends on their weight. Typically, dogs under 10 pounds should stick to one soft chew per day; dogs 10–30lb should take two chews; dogs 31–60lb should take three; dogs 61–90lb should take four; and dogs over 90lb should take five chews per day.
