Dr. Jones' Complete Canine Calming Chews are specially formulated to alleviate stress and anxiety in dogs. They're great for use when your pet is faced with potentially stressful situations like separation anxiety, thunderstorms, fireworks, car rides or vet visits. Not only do these chews help your dog feel more relaxed, but they can also contribute to better sleep quality. Regular use can result in noticeable reduction of stress-induced behaviors such as excessive barking, chewing, or scratching.

L-Theanine, chamomile, passion flower, ginger root, valerian root, and melatonin form a powerful combination in our calming chews, each contributing their unique properties to create a holistic calming effect. L-Theanine promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety by boosting levels of calming brain chemicals and suppressing excitatory ones. Chamomile and passion flower, renowned for their calming properties, complement this by soothing the nervous system and promoting a sense of tranquility. Ginger root plays a crucial role in easing digestive discomfort that can often accompany stress, thereby promoting a sense of calm. Valerian root aids in managing stress and anxiety, enhancing the overall calming effect of the chew. Lastly, melatonin, a hormone instrumental in regulating sleep-wake cycles, also serves as a natural anxiolytic, helping to establish a calming and relaxed state.

Overall, our chews can help enhance your pet's emotional wellbeing and quality of life.

The ingredients in Dr. Jones' Complete Canine Calming Chews can help your pet in the following ways:

L-Theanine

L-Theanine is a remarkable ingredient with a range of benefits. This amino acid, predominantly found in green tea, is known for its calming influence due to its ability to boost levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. These neurotransmitters play a critical role in mood regulation, sleep, and cognitive functions, thus contributing to a serene state of mind and improved mental clarity. L-theanine provides a calming effect without causing drowsiness. It has also been shown to help reduce resting heart rate, and to promote longer, more restful sleep.

Chamomile Flower

Chamomile Flower is another star ingredient in our calming chews, bringing a wealth of benefits to support your pet's well-being. Chamomile is one of the oldest medicinal herbs known to mankind, it has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and manage stress, help alleviate nervousness and promote a state of tranquility. It can help soothe mild stomach upset that can sometimes be a side effect of stress or anxiety, and may also improve sleep quality. It contains high levels of disease-fighting antioxidants like terpenoids and flavonoids. It has no known negative side effects.

Passion Flower

Functions as a natural sedative, gently soothing your pet's nervous system to help alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety. It is also known for its ability to promote better sleep, which can be particularly beneficial for pets who struggle with restlessness or sleep disturbances. As with valerian, Passion flower has a positive impact on neurotransmitters, including GABA and dopamine. It has shown to be useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, and nervous disorders.

Ginger Root

Ginger root, another common spice with a rich history in traditional medicine, plays a significant role in our calming chews. Its main active compound, gingerol, exhibits powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and is a potential analgesic (pain reliever). When pets are anxious, they may experience digestive discomfort, and ginger root can help soothe the digestive system, thereby aiding in reducing the distress. Ginger is also considered a chemopreventive agent with anti-tumour properties.

Valerian Root

Contains valerenic acid, an active ingredient with sedative effects. Specifically, valerenic acid is thought to act on brain receptors for the chemical (neurotransmitter) gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which calms and slows the brain. It can also help promote sleep and prevent associated disorders. Its ability to help regulate the nervous system can result in a more relaxed pet, leading to a decrease in anxiety-related behaviors such as excessive barking, chewing, or scratching.

Melatonin

Known as the "sleep hormone", melatonin regulates the body's circadian rhythm, helping to normalize sleep patterns and promote increased sleep duration and quality. In the context of stress and anxiety, melatonin has been found to have a calming effect on pets, reducing nervous behavior and promoting relaxation, particularly beneficial for pets that experience anxiety-induced sleep disturbances or have irregular sleep patterns. Studies have shown that it may be as effective as an antianxiety medication.
