Drug Class and Mechanism

When dogs cannot adapt to stress, it can lead to anxiety, nervousness, hyperactivity, frayed nerves, excess barking, abnormal urine marking, trembling or shivering and destructive or aggressive behavior. Calming Formula Dogs is for dogs exhibiting nervousness, hyperactivity, anxiety or responding to environmentally induced stress. It is an advanced formula that contains a combination of nutritional factors not found in other calming formulas that supports balanced behavior. It can be used daily or just when extra help to relax is needed.

Ingredients: Calming Formula Dogs combines L-Theanine (Suntheanine brand), Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Lecithin (from soy) and Calming Decapeptide (F-200 brand) from milk protein hydrolysate, which all address stress and calming. Thiamine specifically has been shown to affect the central nervous system to help calm and soothe anxious animals.

Extensive research and documentation from over 45 studies suggest Suntheanine brand L-Theanine is helpful at reducing stress and anxiety. We have also added Lecithin, which is calming to the nervous system, as well as Calming Decapeptide (F-200 brand), which is isolated from the milk protein casein and known for its calming effects.

More Information

There are many problem behaviors associated with anxiety including: defecation and urination in inappropriate locations, destructive behavior, excessive barking and whining, depression, and hyperactivity. These behaviors may also be the symptoms of other problems. However, if undesired behaviors are clearly related to the absence of the owner, occur shortly after departure and a prolonged greeting response occurs upon the owner's return, anxiety is the probable cause (McElroy 1989). If a problem behavior has persisted for an extended period, a visit to the vet will ensure that there are no underlying medical problems.
