6Â Calming Herbs for Dogs

Hemp Oil

Hemp seed oil is a natural product that has a host of benefits for dogs.
Hemp seed oil is known for its anti-anxiety properties, which can help to calm and relieve your dog's anxiety via cannabinoid receptors throughout the central nervous system.
Additionally, it is high in essential fatty acids, which helps to keep their coat and skin healthy. It can also help to reduce inflammation and joint pain. You can add it to your dog's food or water for easy ingestion.

Hemp Powder

In addition to its anti-anxiety properties, hemp seed powder also contains essential fatty acids that your dog needs for a healthy coat and skin.
Organic hemp seed powder is rich in antioxidants, which can help to protect your dog from free radicals.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and lead to disease.

Ginger Root

Ginger root is a great supplement to add to your dog's food.
Organic ginger has many health benefits, including promoting digestion, relieving nausea and vomiting, and reducing inflammation.
It is also a great source of antioxidants. Organic ginger root is safe for dogs and can be given to them in small doses on a daily basis.

Chamomile flower

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. You can also give your dog chamomile tea, but it may be difficult to dose correctly.
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 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 anxiety. Which makes this herb great during exposure to loud noises like parties and fireworks.
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.

Passion Flower
In addition to its effects on anxiety, passion flower can also help relieve nervous tension and anxious behavior in your dog.
