How can I naturally treat my dog's anxiety without medication?

I would try using DAP, which is a plug in pheromone diffuser. This releases natural pheromones that only Gibson can smell, and it reportedly helps dogs with anxiety. You can pair it with a Sentry calming collar, which releases the calming pheromones when in contact with his skin. Try these things, and if they don't work, then I would have a discussion with your vet about possibly trying anti-anxiety medication. Good luck, I hope this helps!

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'd try putting a Sentry calming collar on Romeo. It releases calming pheromones when in contact with his skin. You can also try pairing it with DAP, a pheromone diffuser that releases calming pheromones when plugged in. I hope this helps!

Hi there. In terms of natural products, you could try an Adaptil pheromone diffuser or collar, along with a calming supplement like Zylkene or Anxitane - both of these work well for some dogs, in my experience. These can be purchased over the counter or ordered online without a prescription. If the anxiety does not improve, I would suggest getting in touch with a veterinary behaviorist in your area who can evaluate Charlie in person and help you put together a plan to work on his anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed.

If I were you I would try Adaptil first. It is a natural pheromone treatment. Give it a couple months of consistent use to see if it helps before resorting to other stronger treatments like medications/drugs. It may also help to get him neutered as those hormones can cause stress/anxiety. ( https://www.adaptil.com/us#redirected ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

You can always try over the counter remedies for anxiety before resorting to drugs. That being said, I have rarely seen these "natural" products work on dogs especially ones that have severe anxieties. Here are some things you can try: 1. Thundershirt: http://www.thundershirt.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzuHJ_Y2j1QIVFo1-Ch00fwx0EAAYASAAEgKaavD_BwE 2. Rescue Remedy for Pets: http://www.bachflower.com/rescue-remedy-pet/ 3. DAP (dog appeasing pheromone): http://dapdiffuser.com/ If those do not help, I would suggest you speak to your vet about a prescription of Trazodone. I think it is the best anti-anxiety medication without many side effects and it doesn't make them too groggy or "out of it". Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Try Zesty Paws Calming Bites, Composure chews (VetriScience) or Zylkene (Vetoquinol). Be aware that not all products will work for all dogs. The trick is to find the one that works the best. If Maggy's anxiety is severe, she may need prescription medication. Discuss options with your veterinarian.
