    Ingredients

    Herbs in calming treats for puppies

    Unlike other calming treats, our calming treats are made with carefully selected herbs like valerian root, chamomile, and passionflower. 

    Let's learn more!

    Ginger Root

    Ginger root for dogs

    Ginger root is a great supplement to add to your dog's diet.

    Organic ginger has many health benefits including promoting digestion, relieving nausea and vomiting, and reducing inflammation.

    It is also a great source of antioxidants. Ginger root is safe for dogs and can be given to them in small doses on a daily basis.

    Chamomile flower

    organic chamomile flower for stress relief

    Chamomile is a type of flower that has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments.

    When given to dogs, chamomile can help to reduce separation anxiety and promote relaxation.

    In recent years, chamomile has become popular as a way to reduce stress in dogs. Chamomile contains a compound called apigenin, which has been shown to have calming effects.

    That's why we've included them in our calming treats.

    It is important to note that chamomile should not be given to dogs with allergies to pollen or Ragweed.

    If you are unsure whether your dog is allergic, it is best to consult with a veterinarian before giving them chamomile.

    Valerian Root

    Valerian root is a herb that has been used for centuries to promote calmness and sleep.

    It works by increasing levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce your dog's anxiety.

    valerian root to ease dog's stress

    Organic valerian root is safe for most dogs, but it's always a good idea to talk to your veterinarian before giving it a try.

    If you do decide to give your dog organic valerian root, start with a small dose and increase gradually as needed.

    Our calming treats include a small dose of valerian root.

    Amino Acids

    These are essential nutrients that help to build and repair muscle tissue. Dogs need a balanced diet that includes all of them in order to stay healthy and active.

    While most commercial dog foods contain them, some owners choose to supplement their dog's diet. This is often done to improve coat health or alleviate joint pain.

    Amino acid supplements are available in our soft treats for dogs. We have included L Theanine and L Tryptophan in our calming treats.

    amino acids

    L Theanine

    Many people are familiar with the benefits of L Theanine for humans, but did you know that this amino acid can also be beneficial for your furry friend?

    L Theanine is known to help your anxious dog relax without drowsiness, and it can also help to reduce stress and anxiety.

    L Tryptophan

    Many pet owners are interested in finding natural ways to promote calm behavior in their dogs.

    One of the most popular options is L-tryptophan, an amino acid that is found in turkey and other foods.

    L-tryptophan helps to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in regulating mood.

    When given to dogs, L-tryptophan can help to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation in your anxious dog.

    Passion Flower

    Passionflower

    Passion flower for dogs can also help relieve anxious behavior in your dog.

    This calming herb works by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your dog's body.

    Magnesium Citrate

    Magnesium plays a huge role in your dog's health.

    Whenever your dog has a thought, moves a muscle, or has a heartbeat, magnesium is needed to complete that transfer of energy. It also plays a key role in your dog's nervous system.

    Magnesium is used in dogs for a number of treatments.

    These treatments can range from treating constipation, muscle tension, and to promote relaxation.

    Conclusion: Are calming treats safe for puppies?

    If you have a puppy that suffers from anxiety, it may be time for Calming Chews.

    These calming supplements are designed to help your dog feel more relaxed and comfortable in situations that would normally trigger their anxiety and excessive barking.

    Most calming treats can provide many benefits for your dog, including reducing stress levels, promoting healthy sleeping habits, and helping them to stay calm during storms or other noisy events.

    The best calming treats do all this plus have added vitamins and herbs.
