Calming Products


Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best calming products for dogs with fireworks anxiety?

For fireworks anxiety, Pet Remedy calming spray or diffuser is a popular first choice — its natural valerian formula works quickly to reduce stress. Adaptil's pheromone diffuser is also effective for noise-related anxiety. For broader support, dog calming supplements such as calming soft chews from Aniforte or NAF can be given in advance of a known stressful event.

Can I use calming products for both dogs and cats?

Yes — several calming products in our range are suitable for both dogs and cats. Pet Remedy calming spray and diffusers work across species, and Bugalugs hemp oil is formulated for both dogs and cats. Always check the product label for species suitability and consult your vet if you are unsure about dosage for cats.

How do calming diffusers work for anxious dogs?

Calming diffusers release either natural botanical extracts (Pet Remedy) or synthetic dog-appeasing pheromones (Adaptil) into the air continuously. These compounds help signal safety to a dog's nervous system, reducing stress-related behaviour over time. They are best placed in the room where your dog spends most time and typically take a few days to reach full effect.

What is the difference between a calming collar and a calming spray for dogs?

A calming collar releases calming compounds gradually as your dog moves, making it ideal for ongoing low-level anxiety and travel. A calming spray, such as Pet Remedy, acts faster and can be applied to bedding or a bandana before a stressful event. Both formats can be used alongside dog calming supplements for broader anxiety support.

Are natural calming supplements safe for dogs?

Most natural dog calming supplements — including those containing valerian, chamomile, hemp oil, and L-tryptophan — are considered safe for healthy dogs when used as directed. Brands such as Aniforte, NAF, and Charlie The Vet formulate their products specifically for canine use. If your dog takes medication or has an existing health condition, consult your vet before introducing any new supplement.
