Best Natural Calmers for Dogs Scared of Fireworks
Reduce Stress for Your Pet with Natural Remedies this Fireworks Season
Fireworks Season is a difficult time of year for many pets and watching your dog shake and hide from the loud bangs is stressful for everyone. However there are a range of natural herbs and homeopathy which can be used to help keep your dog calmer during the noisy season. Here are some of the best natural calmers for dogs scared of fireworks:
1. Homeopathy
Homeopathic Borax and Phosphorus is one of the best homeopathic combinations for dogs that are scared of sudden, loud bangs. In its raw form borax and phosphorus would of course be unsuitable for consumption but the preparation of homeopathy enables us to use ingredients that would be unsuitable in their original raw form. Try our Noise Remedy which includes these ingredients.
2. Hemp Oil
Hemp oil has gained popularity for its calming effects on both humans and pets. It can help reduce anxiety and stress in dogs, making it a great option for fireworks phobia. Make sure to use a high-quality, pet-safe hemp oil and follow the recommended dosage. Consider our Calm Dog Hemp Oil.
3. Valerian Root
Valerian root is another natural calmer that can help dogs cope with fireworks anxiety. It has sedative properties that can promote relaxation and reduce stress. Valerian root can be found in various forms, such as capsules or tinctures. Check out Calm Xtra herbal tincture which can be given 20 minutes before a noisy event to calm your pet.
4. Lavender
Lavender is well-known for its calming scent, which can help dogs feel more at ease during stressful situations. You can use lavender essential oil in a diffuser or apply it to your dog's collar (after diluting it with a carrier oil) to help them relax.
5. L-Tryptophan
L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that has been shown to have calming effects on dogs. It can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. Look for pet supplements that contain L-Tryptophan as an ingredient eg Proflax Calming Treats.
These natural calmers can be a safe and effective way to help your dog feel more comfortable during fireworks season. Remember to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplements or products to your dog's routine. With the right natural calmers, you can help your furry friend feel more at ease and enjoy the festivities without fear.
