anxiety & aggression support
Herbal Digestive Aid, Energy Booster, and Multivitamin for Dogs
Don’t leave your furry companions out of the Halloween fun. Here are some tips to make sure your pet has a SAFE and Happy Halloween! And as our extra special treat, we’ve posted some yummy pumpkin recipes for your cat or dog. P.S. We’ve also got a special Halloween contest, see our Facebook!
Tip #1: Keep Your Pet Inside
Although most people are enjoying the day, there are some vicious people and Halloween pranksters who may harm pets. All outdoor cats or dogs need to be kept inside. Black cats are particularly at risk for abuse during Halloween, and we recommend keeping them inside for several days around Halloween.
Keep your cat or dog away from the door, so they don’t run out. It’s a good idea to keep them in a separate room and turn on the radio or TV to keep them entertained and suppress outside noises and knocks at the door. You may even want to disable your doorbell for the night if you notice that causes stress and anxiety.
Ensure your pet has up-to-date identification, just in case they escape or become lost.
Tip #2: Use Natural Supplements To Ease the Nerves
You may want to give your cat or dog NHV Matricalm or NHV Lesstress to help soothe their nerves.
Tip #3: All Dogs Need To Be On A Leash
Try to take your dog out early for a walk and keep them on a leash. We recommend that even if you don’t leash your dog normally that you do on and around Halloween. People may be lighting fireworks, yelling, or making loud noises, which may spook your dog – the last thing you want is to spend a stressful night looking for your lost pup.
Tip #4: Don’t Keep Lit Pumpkins around pets
If your cat or dog gets too close, they may burn themselves or accidently cause a fire.
Tip #5: Don’t Dress Your Pet in A Costume Unless They Love It!
Some pets enjoy being dressed up, but be sure costumes do not constrict movement or are otherwise unsafe. If your pet is dressed in a costume, be extra careful around lit candles and pumpkins.
Tip #6: Do Not Feed Candy or Chocolate to Pets
Candy and chocolate are not for pets.
Candy and chocolate are not for pets. Chocolate is especially dangerous because it contains theobromine, an ingredient that is toxic to cats and dogs.
Instead, try making these yummy treat recipes below. These recipes were sent to us by some awesome pet parents. Do you have your own favorite recipe for pet treats? Send it over with a pic and we’d love to share it.

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.
Help Support Your Dog Naturally
All NHV supplements like Lesstress are 100% natural and created by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist, specially formulated for pets. Feel free to contact our veterinary professionals to get more insight into your little one’s health and wellbeing.
