Most experienced pet parents with a multi-pet home are familiar with typical behavior problems in dogs, but littermate syndrome is an issue not many know about. Fear and aggression towards other dogs and people, self-harm, and separation anxiety are some of the signs that your little one might be too attached to their fursiblings and need your help.
What is Littermate Syndrome?
It’s not uncommon for the dog’s natural behavior to be misunderstood, which can lead to unnecessary reprimands and increased indiscipline. Barking, biting, and chewing, for example, are usually considered normal behaviors. The issue is in showing these signs in excess, which usually happens when dogs are over-energized, bored or when there’s another issue in play like littermate syndrome.
Littermate syndrome is a term that refers to a list of behavioral problems that occur when two furkiddos from the same litter grow up in the same household. No scientific studies prove the syndrome, but this problem is widely seen and discussed among dog lovers.
The most reported problem with bringing home two puppies from the same litter is that they can become overly attached and might struggle to create a bond with the human parents. As a response to over-attachment, some puppies may develop fearful and even antisocial behavior, especially when separated. These are some of the typical symptoms of littermate syndrome:
- Fear of unfamiliar people, dogs, and other new stimuli (neophobia)
- Intense anxiety when separated, even briefly
- Difficulty learning basic obedience skills
- In some cases, the two dogs will fight incessantly
- In other cases, even minor separations cause extreme distress
Dealing with Antisocial Behavior in Cohabitating Dogs
Those committed to raising two pups from the same litter must ensure that they spend significant parts of each day apart so that each one learns how to be alone – a key lesson in any well-thought-out puppy program. That means feeding, walking, and training separately, with crates in different parts of the house.
Even the puppies’ social experiences and the vet’s visit should be separate. This way, they’ll learn to incorporate these episodes into their respective psyches without being overly dependent on their siblings.
In any case, contacting a professional behavioral therapist for help may be worth it. And always keep in mind these tips:
- Quality over quantity: When socializing a puppy, it’s more important to have great experiences than too many experiences.
- Positive Reinforcement: treats and snacks will go a long way with your new family member.
- Avoid Negativity: Don’t yell at your dog if something goes wrong. If necessary, say a “no” and redirect your pup’s attention to a desired behavior.
- Mental Stimulation: Your pup will, of course, need to be walked and played, but remember that mental stimulation such as training, treat-seeking, and mind games is what makes a pup happy.
Natural Support for Pups with Littermate Syndrome
Natural herbal supplements like the ones we offer at NHV may help calm down your little one’s nerves and reduce anxiety. Not only for those caused by littermate syndrome but for any behavioral issue. Supplements like NHV Lesstress and NHV Matricalm are specifically formulated to help in those situations where pets suffer from stress, fear, or aggression.
Ingredients like Chamomile in the Lesstress formulation are well known to be a general-purpose calming herb for its antispasmodic and sedative qualities. Matricalm, on the other hand, includes ingredients like the aromatic Lemon Balm, which is used for nervous disorders, excitability, and anxiety. In cases of extreme anxiety, both supplements can be used together for extra support.
Aromatherapy with NHV CocoFurcare can also be beneficial. The pleasant and calming scents of this topical formula, like Lavender, may help offer some relaxation to the nervous system.
In conclusion, the most important advice we can give you is to ask for help! Adopting a new dog (or two!!) can be overwhelming. It’s okay to ask friends, family, or professionals for help if you’re struggling. Our pet experts are always here to help you with your questions and offer the best natural care and love to your furbabies dealing with littermate syndrome or any other stress at home.

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

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.
