When it comes to keeping our pets calm and relaxed, nature has plenty of tools to offer. One such tool is passionflower. Not only is it a beautiful herb, it is a calming one too!

So, if you want to deal with thunderstorm nervousness or vet trip meltdowns, passionflower might be just what your fur kiddo needs!

Passionflower’s History

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) has been used for centuries, with Native American tribes first turning to it for relief from anxiety and insomnia. Its calming properties quickly caught the attention of European settlers, who began using it in the 17th century to treat a range of ailments.

Today, passionflower is still valued for its ability to ease stress and improve sleep, with modern research backing up what ancient peoples first discovered: it’s a natural way to unwind.

Benefits of Passionflower for Pets

The benefits of passionflower extend beyond people – it includes dogs and other critters! In fact, researchers have even once found that it may perform similarly to certain anti-anxiety meds.

Unlike some sedative medications, passionflower is a natural, non-habit-forming remedy. This makes it a safe and sustainable option for long-term stress management, so your pet can feel their best without the worry of dependency.

Best of all, it helps pets with restlessness – and sleep is one of the most important things for your fur kiddo’s wellness and happiness!

Safety of Passionflower for Dogs and Other Pets

Pets generally well-tolerate passionflower. However, as always, we recommend talking to your vet before introducing any new supplement to your pet’s routine. And like any herb, do not give it to pets who are pregnant or lactating.

The dosage and quality of the herbal ingredients are crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without proper guidance and under the supervision of your pet’s veterinary team.
