It is quite common for pet parents to prefer calm dogs. But did you know that, despite its bad reputation, stress has contributed to the canine species’ survival? A dog reacting to changes and situations where they think they are at risk is healthy!
The problem is when your little one feels that everything is a threat all the time, even when surrounded by family and friends at home. But there are ways to avoid chronic stress and calm dogs during events that commonly cause behavioral issues in pets, like the Holidays.
Why Can Parties be Stressful for Dogs?
With the end-of-year festivities approaching, the house can get busier with family gatherings and visitors coming and going. Holidays decorations are put up all over the place, and the smell of delicious food fills the air. And, of course, let’s not forget the traditional fireworks that can happen during this period. Even though these can all be very fun for humans, they can make your pup more agitated and generate a lot of stress!
That is why we recommend dog parents have their eyes out for changes in their pup’s behavior that might indicate anxiety. These are the typical signs to look out for:
- Excessive barking
- Hyperventilation
- Destructive behavior
- Licking the paws
- Hair loss
- Lack of appetite
Some symptoms of a stressed dog, such as excessive barking and destructive behavior, can impair the pet’s coexistence with the family. But that’s just one reason to be concerned about chronic canine stress.
Anxious behavior is also associated with decreased immunity and other serious problems such as tachycardia and increased blood pressure. So, it’s good to be aware and know possible ways to help calm dogs!
4 Tips to Calm Dogs at Family Gatherings
Get ready to enjoy the best of the Holiday season with these 4 tips to calm dogs during family gatherings and keep them safe:
1. New toys can help keep your dog calm
An anxious pet won’t probably be able to control themselves if they are an active part of the celebrations. So it might be best to leave your little one in a quiet, warm and familiar space, along with their favorite toys. We are sure that your pup would also love it if you checked in on them from time to time and reassured them that they are safe.
New toys are also a great option to help calm dogs. Enrich their safe space with different types of activities. It’s common for pet parents only to offer chewing toys, which doesn’t help much in cases of stress. Although they are important, it is also necessary to stimulate other natural behaviors, such as foraging. Stuffed toys, which encourage the search for food, are great for distracting your four-legged friend while you’re hosting the Holidays celebration.
2. Natural supplements can help calm dogs
If your little one is prone to stress, being proactive with calming supplements can go a long way. Our main recommendation to help dogs suffering from anxiety, excessive fear, or even uncontrolled excitement is NHV Lesstress.
Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower, and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves with natural sedative (non-addictive) properties. Our Lesstress formula also includes ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia, which are very beneficial for helping your little one adapt to stressful situations, plus help stimulate healthy immune function.
3. Don’t force your pup to socialize
Avoid trying to get a dog to socialize more than they are ready and willing to. Insisting that your furkiddo is a part of the party can lead to a very high state of stress. Don’t force him if he is hesitant to be in large groups of strangers.
Preferably get your pup used to socialize with different pets and humans during your daily walks. In addition to wasting energy, walks are important to put your furkiddo in touch with new people, animals, textures, odors, and noises. Hopefully, this will make any interaction with different people in your house less stressful for your little one.
4. Aromatherapy can help reduce stress
Have you heard about olfactory memory? That’s when you smell something, and it transports you to a specific memory. The brain usually associates smells with emotions and uses that for calming and comfort purposes. For pets, this can work the same way, so here is a tip that not many furparents know!
NHV CoCo Furcare is one of our topical sprays known for helping to keep the coat and skin healthy. But did you know that this formula also has calming properties that can help reduce stress?
Herbs like Lavender, Chamomille, Lemongrass, and clovebud send pleasant fragrances to the nervous system that can help calm dogs. Just spray a few times on your puppy’s neck and let the nice scent do the trick.
Holidays can certainly be stressful, not only for them but for us too. At NHV we try to give tips and tricks to help pet owners to have a better life with their furbabies. From natural supplements to help with health conditions to activities that help with stressful situations, we are always here to help you love your furbaby naturally.

Coat and Skin Support for Dogs
Dog coat and skin supplements like Coco Furcare can help improve the shine and luster of your dog’s beautiful fur. Coco Furcare has natural ingredients that soothe the skin, deterring your pet from scratching themselves raw and leaving their skin open to infection. Protection against parasites and skin allergens also reduces itching and the possibility of future hot spots for your dog.
How Coco Furcare Supports Skin and Coat Health
This spray-on supplement is formulated with powerful, all-natural ingredients like Neem leaf, sodium bicarbonate, and Eucalyptus. These ingredients have potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-pest properties that stop the source of any itching and soothe any irritation.
Coco Furcare is also made with ingredients like chamomile for a calming effect, moisturizers like cedarwood, and deodorizers such as lemongrass. All of these natural extracts help to provide comprehensive and effective care for your pet’s skin and coat.
Watch out for Hot Spots
Improper dog fur care and bites from pests like mites and fleas can result in a hot spot. Hot spots occur when a dog itches or obsessively grooms aggravated skin until the area is raw. The introduction of bacteria to the irritated area causes an itchy, infected sore. Hot spots can result in discomfort and induce hair loss. Left untreated, the wound can grow into a severe health concern.

Holistic Support and Pet Supplements for the Holidays
'Tis the season you say! Of course, the holidays are a time to celebrate, but with family dinners and get-togethers just around the corner, changes in your pet's daily routine can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Hanging wires or seasonal decorations can entice your pet's curiosity, and they may gobble up something they weren't supposed to from the kitchen! Bringing home new plants like belladonna, mistletoe, or holly may be toxic to your pets, and may cause an upset tummy resulting in diarrhea from a few casual nibbles. We recommend creating safe spaces for your little one to relax, play and retreat to when the festivities become too much for them. If you're low on space, just opening up a few closets or having a few boxes with blankets or soft bedding inside will do wonders for your pet's mental wellbeing. For added support, we recommend our Holiday Essentials Kit that contains Matricalm (natural stress relief), Plantaeris (diarrhea support) and Yucca (anti-inflammatory and appetite support).
How the NHV Holiday Essentials Kit Supports A Relaxed Pet
With the new faces and changes, your dog, cat or pet’s heart rate and blood pressure may increase, and they may become irritated, excitable, and stressed. These symptoms may cause digestive upset and aggressive behavior. Matricalm contains five calming herbs that may help relax the nervous system, improve digestion and discourage aggressive or anxious behavior.
Dogs and cats of all ages can have very sensitive GI tracts (especially our feline friends), so if they accidentally munch on mistletoe, an ornament, chocolate or an edible arrangement, they will likely get an upset tummy and possibly diarrhea. Plantaeris is a gentle, fast-acting diarrhea remedy that contains herbs like barberry and mullein which help to relax muscle cramping and encourage digestion. Some foods, like chocolate, and plants can be toxic, please see an emergency vet right away if your pet has ingested toxic foods/plants.
Yucca is a nutritive superfood (rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein) and contains beneficial properties that help support the absorption of nutrients. Yucca also helps with overall digestive discomfort, and can even help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some pets.
MATRICALM
- Support for stress, anxiety, and aggressive behavior
- May help increase feelings of relaxation
- Safe for dogs and cats of all ages
- All-natural & vet-approved
- May help reduce excitability
PLANTAERIS
- A natural diarrhea remedy that works gently and quickly

Description
Help reduce aggressive behavior and provide anxiety and stress relief for your cat with Matricalm, a natural herbal product designed to help reduce excitability in your pet. Cats can become anxious or aggressive when exposed to other animals or to people they are unfamiliar with. When this occurs they may hiss, scratch, howl, or urinate inappropriately.
It’s important to remember that a significant cause of illness in pets results from stress. Helping to keep your cat stress free can help keep them healthier for longer. NHV Pet Experts also often recommend Matricalm for cats dealing with FIV, cancer, kidney issues, hyperthyroidism, and more.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
