As humans, stress is one word we know all too well. Although they might not be stressed out by that big work report that’s due Monday, our dogs suffer through feelings of stress just as much as we do. Getting left alone at home, traveling, trips to the vet, and especially thunderstorms, can send a dog’s heart racing with anxiety.
Your veterinarian can help your stressed out, anxious pup with medications, but you may want to take a walk on the mild side first. (Speaking of the vet, make sure to always discuss new adjustments in your dog’s diet with the doc first, just to be on the safe side).
TOP SIX NATURAL INGREDIENTS TO EASE ANXIETY IN DOGS
#1 Valerian
Valerian is a type of herbal root, commonly found in sleepy time teas widely used by the human population, but is also known for its anti-anxiety capabilities. You can buy Valerian in its dried, natural form or in an easy to use capsule. Wrap it up in one of your pooches’ favorite treats before an anxious situation or periodically for those pups that are overly excitable.
#2 Melatonin
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that your pet’s body makes when he sleeps. Introducing this relaxing hormone during day time can help your furry friend feel at ease during times of high stress.
We find melatonin to be especially helpful for those dogs that suffer with separation anxiety, as the feeling of Zen can last roughly eight hours. Just be sure to give your pup just the right amount of Melatonin and don’t share your human made product. Instead, try a melatonin supplement specially formulated with just the right amount for dogs, like in our Dog Calming Aid.
#3 Lavender
Since the large majority of bath products contain lavender, you probably already knew that the smell of lavender relaxes the body and mind. That pretty purple, sweet smelling flower has the same calming effects on our four-legged friends as it does on us two legged creatures.
When the lavender scent is breathed in, it triggers the body’s stress hormone known as cortisol, without sedation. Lavender CANNOT be ingested, only applied on the skin. That being said, you can safely introduce the calming effects of lavender in topical oil form.
#4 Passionflower
Passionflower has been widely used in human medicine since the 1500s for sedation and sleep apnea. Studies have shown that passionflower works by lowering brain activity, while boosting levels of the feel-good chemical known as GABA. The use of passionflower is just as effective as using a benzodiazepine medication, such as Xanax or Valium, in treating anxiety.
However, this herbal alternative does not have a strong sedative effect like other herbs, so it’s perfect for extremely anxious dogs. That’s why we like to include passionflower into our yummy, anti-anxiety soft chews.
#5 Lemon Balm
Despite its name, lemon balm is actually a member of the mint family, not the citrus fruit. Used since the middle ages, this sedative herb has effectively treated cases of insomnia, indigestion, and stress.
#6 Chamomile
Chamomile is probably the most well-known herbal agent to soothe the nerves and help you to sleep. In the human world, this white, springlike flower is steeped into a light tea and ingested to aid in insomnia, stomach, and digestive distress. You could give your pooch the same soothing relief by adding the tea to his water dish, or try out an easy to administer chewable that contains chamomile.
NATURE MADE ANXIETY RELIEF
Each and every one of the ingredients listed above are 100% made by Mother Nature herself, but that doesn’t mean you have to search the earth just to find them. You can actually find the majority of these all-natural, canine anxiety and stress relief ingredients in our Particular Paws Calming Aids.
Formulated to relieve stress, anxiety, hyperactivity, and nervousness in your dog. It's the perfect solution to aid your pooch in any routine change, visits to the veterinarian, during thunderstorms and traveling.
SAFE & GENTLE FOR YOUR PET
Our Calming Aidscontain the highest quality of ingredients, derived straight from nature for optimal results - plus dogs love the flavor! Safe and gentle enough to use daily, yet a strong supplement that will work effectively in times of extreme stress. If that’s not cool enough for you, each purchase goes towards our dog rescue kits that we donate to pet shelters to help ease the transition of a shelter dog's life when they are adopted by their forever family!

I had to say goodbye to my best friend, a beautiful 120 pound Akita, Cleopatra who was only 13 when arthritis stole her from me. An old injury I thought she had recovered from developed into a painful, life-limiting condition that ruined her quality of life.
After Cleo passed away, I kept wondering if there was more I could have done to keep her strong and healthy longer. Was there something I could have done? The guilt and questions just ate at me.
Then it hit me -- as a lifelong fitness buff, I knew how taking the right supplements made all the difference in the world in my own health. What if there were something that could have made a difference for Cleopatra, not only in how long she lived but in her quality of life? What if the right supplements could have kept her by my side for years longer, and given her more happy and pain free years?
My new doggy, Theodore inspires me to follow my dream of honoring Cleo by producing over 20 additional, natural, holistic products and supplements to help upgrade the quality of life and well-being for all our furry loved ones.
I am convinced Cleopatra passed away too young and our dogs should live 15 years or more! That’s why I believe in providing for our pets the way we provide for ourselves and I have made it my mission to create products to help pets live longer and enhance their quality of life.
Watching Cleo suffer from arthritis was the most painful experience in my life, it almost felt like it was happening to me.
The first product I created was the Particular Paws Advanced Joint and Hip Supplement. This chewable, drug-free, natural formula contains Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid, Omega 3 & Omega 6 has a taste and smell dogs love! But most important, it helps ease the pain from arthritis and joint issues and is safe to give to young dogs as a preventative measure.
I am also passionate about helping rescue dogs and the health struggles they go through, so I created The Particular Paws Dog Rescue Kit – containing our 10 best selling products and partnered with rescue groups around the country to help distribute them. When a shelter dogs are adopted, they go home with Rescue Kits to help ease the transition into their new home.
I wish I had created Particular Paws when Cleo was just a puppy. She would have lived a much longer, healthier life.

Hello From Particular Paws
Why Buy From Us
What people and paws are saying about us...
What people and paws are saying about us...
Probiotic Powder "I have a collie with an extremely sensitive stomach. About twice a month or so, he would find something out in the grass he's not suppose to get into, and he would end up having diarrhea for a couple days, sometimes a week. Since we started giving him this supplement, we've been squirt free for almost 3 months straight now. Highly recommend!!"
Collie Mom - Verified Buyer
Joint Supplement Powder "I have an 8 yr. Dachshund rescue, who was given up because he had back issues as a puppy. So, I take everything that goes in to his body very seriously. Other products were too potent, but Sidney has stabilized now since adding your formula to his diet. Since he is a dachshund, joint health is a priority for him and me. My Sid is now a changed dog and has been enjoying your Joint Supplement Powder mixed with his lunchtime snack of yogurt with a biscuit. Thank you Particular Paws!"

Dog Calming Aid
"Don't get me wrong, I love my pit bull but there were times when I was at my wits end due to the anxiety that separation issues caused. Every time I would leave the house, my dog would act out and tear things up due to the anxiety that he felt. Buying a bottle of the Particular Paws dog calming aid was the best thing I could have done. It was a night and day difference when introducing these pills into their diet."
Heather - Verified Buyer
Tear Stain Remover "This product really works! I have a Boston terrier and his poor baby eyes are always watery so they leave tear stains. I wanted something gentle because I definitely do not want to irritate his eyes even more. This product was great. It says you can use daily, but I use it every 3 or 4 days and it has helped him a lot and doesn't seem to bother him one bit. I would recommend to anyone with a dog with tearing eye problems."
