The Best Sleep Treats for Dogs
Tory JohnsonOur canine friends are usually great sleepers, but some still have trouble sleeping. Most dogs need at least 12 hours of sleep per night! But sometimes they need more than just the afternoon walk to wear them out. Can't burn off your dog's excess energy? Wondering what to give your dog to help them fall asleep? You may want to try calming sleep treats for dogs.
For hyperactive yet healthy dogs, we want to advise all dog owners to take them on regularly scheduled walks, give proper nutrition, and set up a comfy bed for them. Doing these simple things are the best way to increase your dog's health and promote good sleep.
Indeed, we understand this doesn't always work for pet parents.
In this post, we'll discuss your dog's sleep and the supplements to help your furry friend calm down.

Calming Aids and Sleep Treats for Dogs
Dog calming treats are made with all natural ingredients and herbs designed to help your dog fall asleep. In addition, a calming treat can provide anxiety and stress relief in anxious dogs.
On the other hand, sleeping aids may contain harsh chemicals designed to help your dog sleep. Some of these chemicals can have terrible side effects.
Lastly, along with a healthy diet, exercise, and plenty of playtime, we recommend you stick to the calming dog treats and forget about dog sleeping pills.

Dog Sleeping Aids and Pheromones
Generally, when we think about sleeping aids the first thing that comes to mind is the sleep aid melatonin and pheromones.
Melatonin
Melatonin treats cognitive dysfunction, separation anxiety, and sleep issues.
Although melatonin is safe for dogs, please do not give your dog human melatonin gummies.
These gummies are made specifically for people and may contain xylitol.
Melatonin for dogs can be found in treats and melatonin supplements made specially for them.
Even though melatonin is available over the counter, you should always speak with your vet to determine the correct dosage. Indeed, they may want to prescribe medication.
Pheromones
Dog calming pheromones come in diffusers and sprays. Sometimes even a collar can have pheromones already sprayed and built into them
Some of these pheromones may not be natural and can cause a bad reaction in your dog. Although they might appear natural, many pheromones are actually made of harsh chemicals.
How To Get A Good Night's Sleep Naturally
Now that we've discusses calming chews and sleep aids, let's take a look at other ways to help your dog sleep and relax.
Provide A Secure Place To Sleep
Just like a nice mattress, a nice dog bed can go a long way. Provide your dog a stable and secure place to sleep that can become part of their bedtime routine. They'll surely thank you for it!
White Noise
We love using white noise in our bedroom, and your dog may benefit too. One of the reasons us humans love our noise machines is its ability to mask other noises. This will do the same for your dog, and maybe even help with noise phobias!
Increasing Exercise
This one may seem obvious, but wear your dog OUT! This can also help them get into a routine by setting certain times of the day where they can go on a walk with you.
