Title: Natural anxiety remedy
Post by: rubyduby on January 04, 2024, 07:16:08 PM
Hi everyone, I am looking for a natural product I can use on my 5 yr old Cocker Amber, she is very clingy and I feel she might benefit from some kind of natural stress relief, if anyone can recommend anything, there are so many 'calming' herbal products out there I dont know where to turn and I really dont want to spend a fortune on useless products (been there)

My Maisie suffered really badly 2022 from all the very loud fireworks so this year i was prepared.
i got her https://www.dorwest.com/product/valerian-compound-for-dogs-and-cats/ which worked very well as fast acting.  They also do tablets which are given regularly https://www.dorwest.com/product/scullcap-valerian-tablets-for-dogs-and-cats/
I didn’t use the tablets myself as i wanted a fast acting solution for just a few days over the firework season.
I think the tablets may be more suitable for Amber.
I have heard other people on the forum have had good results from these products too.
It is so hard as there are so many products out there.  For my Stevie I tried umpteen products to help her dementia that offered hope but sadly nothing really did work.
Fingers crossed you find something to help Amber.

I’ve had Nutracalm recommended for a dog that likes to throw her bedding round and then eat it!  It’s available from Vets, not tried it yet but plan to.
