Anxiety in Dogs: What are the Best Treatments?

Dog lovers around Australia want what’s best for their beloved canine companions, especially those who suffer from anxiety. Many dogs are nervous in unfamiliar situations or stressful settings and canine anxiety is even more common in dogs that have been mistreated in the past.

If your dog shows signs of anxiety through canine body language or nervous or aggressive behaviour, it’s best to speak to your vet about possible treatments. Let’s take a look at some potential solutions for anxiety in dogs, such as Crooked Lane Solution’s Naturally Calm calming chews for dogs.

Calming Supplements

Many vets and pet owners trust calming chews for dogs to minimise anxious behaviour. With an innovative formulation of probiotics, vitamins, and herbal extracts, calming supplements may help with nervous function and general health in dogs of all breeds and sizes. Crooked Lane Solutions Naturally Calm chews could work well for your dog if you want a fast-acting, easy-dose chew to encourage calm behaviour during travel, training, storms, or other stressful situations.

Trigger Avoidance

Another aspect of anxiety treatments for dogs is avoiding triggers or distracting them from stressful scenarios with exercise and entertainment. Thunderstorms, construction noise, fireworks, separation from owners, or a new environment are all possible sources of anxiety in dogs, so minimising these triggers will help control nervous behaviour. Sound apps are also available to download to help dogs with desensitisation/ counter conditioning to sounds and noise that they may be frightened of. Using these types of apps with positive reinforcement, such as play, treats or even calming chews, may help to desensitise dogs with existing noise phobias.

Compression Products

Compression shirts and jackets are a popular choice for pet owners. Compression techniques have been seen to be successful in calming anxiety in humans and animals. Canine compression products are similar to baby swaddles and weighted blankets, applying gentle yet consistent pressure to the dog’s torso. When combined with calming treats for dogs, compression products may make a difference in anxiety levels.
