Is there a special food or supplement I could give Copper for anxiety? I cant even let her out on her leash without her barking at people, or take her anywhere cause she runs. I have tried walking her to wear her out, but she just barks at everyone a
Hi there. You could try a daily natural calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure, if you want to. An Adaptil pheromone collar can also be helpful for mild anxiety issues. If these things don't help, you may want to consider seeing a veterinary behaviorist to discuss a more comprehensive treatment plan for her anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed. You can search for one in your area here: www.dacvb.org

Can you recommend a good calming pill or treat to give to dog at times of anxiety that will not make her drowsy or tired I want her to enjoy the adventure but other dogs and ppl if they come to close she starts going into panic modes with extreme bar
A pheromone collar, such as the Adaptil collar, may help decrease anxiety. Gradual desensitization is also strongly recommended. Calming chews, such as Composure chews (by VetriScience) may help but they are not "magic pills". You will need to modify her behavior. This may require the assistance of a certified trainer.

I have adopted a puppy mill dog who is not responding to being ina home that loves her so much. She is so skiddish and overly garded. can you recommend a calming medicine I can get at Petco.
You can try HomeoPet for anxiety. They sell it at PetCo. For my terrified puppy mill dog I used the supplement Solliquin. Another product people recommend is rescue remedy. A pheromone diffuser can help as well. My dog took several years to relax in our home. I recommend having places for Brandy to hide and get away when she wants. Letting her come to you and not forcing the situation is best. Have treats and toys available to get her interested in being with you. My boy was much worse when picked up or restrained. He does better when he can get on the couch and sit with me as long as I don’t physically hold him or pick him up. The best thing for him was taking him to obedience class. He loved being with other dogs and learned quickly. He became more confident and relaxed from the classes. Be patient, neglect at a young age can be difficult to overcome, it will take time and lots of love. I’m so glad you’re taking care of Brandy. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help y

Princess has anxiety, she starts breathing hard, walking in circles and shakes when thunderstorms , fireworks or any booms happen. When she panics I try to keep her calm by petting her playing tv or music to distract her and walk to her it seems to h
Good question. You are doing a good job keeping her calm. Often closing them in a dark room or crate with the music on will help too. Yes, the calming supplements do help and also the thunder shirt. I use Solliquin in my practice but they do sell several kinds at PetCo. They may not fully resolve the anxiety but they will reduce it without drugs. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Princess.

What is the best thing for anxiety in a dog? My 8 year old Boston Terrier has sever anxiety issues and fear aggression. Thank you!
Hi there and thanks for using Boop by Petco! For anxiety, there is a product over the counter that you can use, which can be found online or at your local PetCo, called NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin. I would start this supplement and see if it helps relieve the anxiety. You can also try the Adaptil collar and thundershirt to see if this also aids in relieving the anxiety. If the anxiety worsens or does not improve, I would schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss anti-anxiety medications. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
