Top 6 Natural Ingredients to Fight Canine Anxiety
Top 6 Natural Ingredients to Fight Canine Anxiety
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.

ABOUT Particular Paws
I had to say goodbye to my best friend, a beautiful 120 lb Akita named Cleopatra, when she was only 11 years young. She had been suffering from arthritis, and her condition which at first was just debilitating, had become crippling.
I was heart-broken when I returned from a business trip and my good buddy who had been taking care of her, gently let me know he thought her quality of life was suffering and it may be time to say goodbye.
I was not ready to hear this. I hoped Cleo would quietly pass away in her sleep when it was her time. Unfortunately, that was not the case and I had to make the toughest decision of my life. After she was gone, I felt empty without her and I thought I'd never be able to love another dog like that again.

But that changed last year when I stumbled upon Theodore, a handsome all-white Akita with a pink and black nose who was the only one left of his litter seeking a forever family. While I still miss Cleo every day, Theodore has been my new best friend and is also my right-hand-man.
Cleopatra inspired me to create my first Particular Paws product, the advanced formula joint + hip supplement and Theodore inspires me as I develop new, natural, holistic products and supplements to help upgrade cats’ and dogs’ quality of life and well-being.
I believe Cleopatra passed away too young and our dogs should live 15 plus years or More! We need to take care of our pets the way we take care of ourselves. While I was raising Cleo, I was not educated on the benefits of an all-natural diet and healthy supplements for ailments like arthritis, anxiety, allergies and digestive issues. Since her passing I started researching pet health and discovered dogs and cats are more likely than humans to die of cancer. That’s just unacceptable. So I made it my mission to create products that would help pets live longer and with a better quality of life.

The first product I created was the Particular Paws Advanced Formula 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.
Since then, I have gone on to create 24 more products that are sold on ParticularPaws.com, Amazon.com and Chewy.com. This year I fulfilled a dream and created 2,400 “Dog Rescue Kits” full of our 10 best-selling products - and donated them to Rescue Groups across the country. I like to envision Cleo’s tail wagging when I read all the 5 star reviews and customer testimonial videos and photos we receive.
I wish I had created my line when Cleo was just a puppy so she could have lived a much longer, and healthier life. You don't have to go through what I did. Start your dog on Particular Paws products today and give your dog the quality of life they deserve!
