Natural Dog Calming Supplements for Stressed-Out Dogs: Herbs That Really Work

Featuring Proflax Calm & Collected & Omega Calm - Natural Dog Calming Supplements

Fireworks, vet visits, moving house—life throws plenty of curveballs at our dogs. Some breeze through it. Others shake, pace, or hide under the sofa before you’ve even lit a sparkler. If your four-legged friend is the nervous type, you don’t have to reach straight for pharmaceuticals. Nature has some brilliant tools for helping dogs stay cool, calm, and collected.

Why Dogs Feel Stressed

Just like us, dogs experience a fight-or-flight response when something worries them. Adrenaline floods the system and cortisol (the stress hormone) spikes. Short bursts of this are normal, but if stress lingers it can:

• Upset the gut and immune system

• Disrupt sleep

• Cause skin flare-ups or shedding

• Lead to unwanted behaviours like barking or chewing

Common triggers include fireworks and thunderstorms, vet visits, changes in routine, new family members (two- or four-legged), and even household noise. Knowing these triggers is the first step toward helping your dog cope.

Signs Your Dog May Be Anxious

Because dogs can’t tell us how they feel, watch for these clues:

• Panting or drooling when it’s not hot

• Lip-licking, yawning or “whale eye” (showing the whites of their eyes)

• Pacing or circling

• Hiding, trembling, or refusing food

• Destructive chewing or sudden toilet accidents

Catching these signs early lets you take action before anxiety snowballs.

Lifestyle Tweaks That Make a Difference

Supplements work best alongside everyday strategies:

• Predictable routines give sensitive dogs a sense of safety.

• Enrichment games like snuffle mats, scent trails, or puzzle feeders tire the brain and lower stress hormones.

• Calm spaces such as a covered crate or quiet room let them retreat when life gets noisy.

• Gentle touch & massage can lower heart rate and relax tight muscles.

• Sound therapy—white noise or soft classical music—can mask scary bangs.

These small changes build a foundation of security before you even add herbal support.

Herbs with a Proven Track Record

Nature offers powerful, research-backed allies:

• Valerian Root – Often called “nature’s Valium,” it promotes calm without sedation.

• Chamomile – Gentle and soothing, also helps settle stress-related tummy upsets.

• Passionflower & Skullcap – A classic duo for easing tension and improving sleep.

• Ashwagandha – An adaptogen that helps the body handle ongoing stress.

Unlike synthetic sedatives, these botanicals work with your dog’s own systems to restore balance.

Ingredient Deep Dive

Both Calm & Collected and Omega Calm combine these herbs with Omega-3 rich flaxseed oil, which supports:

• Brain and nerve health—ideal for senior dogs

• Soft, shiny coats and moisturised skin

• Healthy joints and natural anti-inflammatory response

This dual action means you’re not only calming nerves but boosting overall wellness.

Usage Tips & FAQs

How long until I see results? Most dogs show improvement within a week, but some may take up to 10–14 days.

Can I use it alongside medication? Always check with your vet if your dog is on prescribed meds, especially sedatives or anticonvulsants.

Is it safe for puppies and seniors? Yes, from 8 weeks old and up, when used as directed.

Do I need to give it daily? For best results, yes—consistency allows the herbs to build up gently in the system.
