Think we humans are the only ones who get stressed out and act badly? Well, that’s simply not the case. Dogs and cats also suffer from severe anxiety. In fact, in our veterinary practice, it is very common to see anxiety problems in pets. Our dog patients can suffer from anxiety to exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. Cats too will exhibit these same destructive and aggressive behavioral traits and may also take to spraying the house.
Anxiety problems in pets are multifactorial; and it is necessary to rule out medical problems, such as chronic discomfort, metabolic, endocrine problems, or even toxins. In addition, the inappropriate urinations of cats are often linked to urinary tract infections. Once medical problems are ruled out as the cause of the behavior, then it is time to start sleuthing the situation to better understand the triggers that may cause behavior problems in pets. A common example of a trigger for anxiety in pets is thunderstorm phobias— every time your dog hears or feels a storm they become inconsolable.
Signs of Anxiety in Pets
It’s important for pet parents to quickly recognize the signs of anxiety in their pets. Signs of symptoms and types of behavioral problems include trembling:
- Tail tucked
- Withdrawal
- Hiding in fear
In panic mode signs are:
- Escape behavior
- Potentially injurious motor activity
- Signs of anxiety include excessive licking and biting at self.
Treatment for Anxiety Problems in Pets
Affected cats and dogs will respond to some extent to a combination of behavior modification and medication, supplements, and diet therapy. Behavioral modification is best done after having a behaviorist identify and classify the problem, then coming up with a treatment plan. For example one of the techniques used is desensitization and counter-conditioning, where the goal is to decrease the reaction to a specific stimulus (such as being left alone as in separation anxiety in dogs). Desensitization is the repeated and controlled exposure to the stimulus that usually causes a fearful or anxious response in such a way that the dog or cat does not respond with the undesirable response. With repeated efforts, the goal is to decrease the pet’s undesirable response. Counter conditioning is training the dog to perform a positive behavior in place of negative behavior. Most forms of behavioral modification are done over the long term, possibly years. Minimum treatment averages 4-6 months.
It’s a good idea to introduce natural supplements to the diet, as they can help calm a pet and potentially make training easier.
It’s a good idea to introduce natural supplements to the regime, as they can safely help calm a pet and potentially make training easier. Two supplements that we have had success with are NHV Matricalm for cats and NHV Lesstress for dogs. In addition to helping to calm and soothe your pet, the supplements are all-natural and contain nutritive and immune-stimulating herbs, like Echinacea Angustifolia and lemon balm. We also recommend a simple balanced diet with no fillers or dyes, as well as Chinese herbal formulas. Other western herbs that may be useful are Kava kava, St. John’s wort, and chamomile. Lavender collars, pheromones sprays are also useful.
Prevention of Anxiety in Pets
Catching behavioral problems early is the key to success. When dogs or cats are young, it is important to expose them to a variety of social situations and environments, in a way that will help them develop confidence when they are young. Puppies and kittens that are deprived of social and environmental exposure until 14 weeks of age may become habitually fearful, which could have been avoided with only a little exposure during this formative time.

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.

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
- Promotes healthy bowel movements

Dosage Tab
To be taken twice daily. (Each supplement) Determine your pet’s weight and then use the easy chart below to determine the correct dose. This is the minimum dosage.
Pet's Weight Dosage
0 - 15 lb = 0.5 ml
16 - 30 lb = 1.0 ml
31 - 45 lb = 1.5 ml
46 - 60 lb = 2.0 ml
61 - 75 lb = 2.5 ml
Over 75 lb = 3.0 ml
For small animals (rabbits, ferrets), avians and reptiles use 1 drop for every 2 lb of body weight.
Long term use: Feed recommended dosage every other day (1 day on 1 day off). If used in large dosages or over a long period of time it may become irritating to the stomach lining. Some pets may require a larger dosage due to their metabolism. You can safely double the recommended dosage.
How to Administer: Shake well before use. The easiest method is to use the dropper provided and place the drops into your pet’s food or favorite treat. You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favourite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.
For Best Results: Herbal dietary supplements are beneficial to the health and well-being of your pet and are safe for long-term use. Every pet responds to natural herbal supplements differently, therefore it is important to be consistent and administer the product daily. Supplements generally take two to four weeks to take effect, however this will vary from one animal to the next.
Product Storage: All NHV Natural Pet Products are pure herbal extracts and contain no artificial additives, preservatives or coloring. Shelf life after opening is 6 months and must be refrigerated after opening.

*I will try to keep it short but still explain as much as possible. We have adopted a 9 month old Mastiff. The adoption center was going to put down the dog as unadoptable due to high stress and fear. I am unsure of the exact diagnosis as I am a third party in the house.
The dog is named Piper and will run from anyone that approaches her. If you avoid looking at the dog, she will stand still when you walk towards her. She will bark at anyone she does not know for several days at a time. I can head to the shower and she will bark at me, though I only have a towel on. She is not aggressive, just vocal. I have been able to go into her crate while she is in there without any obvious fear, growling or aggression by her.
Any sudden loud noises startle her and she will run if she can. Anything from something dropped on the floor, something knocked over or even her tail hitting something loud. She will go to the bed of the owner, who is a woman, but will avoid her husband. Unless someone sits in a chair or is kneeling down, she will now come towards us. Then there are times where our second dog, a beagle mix, will come into the kitchen when she hears the treat bag open, to be followed closely by Piper. I have not figured out why it is so random yet. It could be the refrigerator running, but is very quiet. Perhaps she heard something earlier that day that scared her. It is frustrating to me as I am unable to help her.
I am thinking of trying some type of restraint coat like the thundershirt. I don’t think meds are the way to go at this point and she is a friendly dog, especially with kids. If you think trying the shirt would be something to try, let me know. I would like to help her as much as possible to enjoy life and people. Thank you.
*Hello Phillip,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We are more than happy to offer you some advice and recommendations.
To address the sort of behaviour that is exhibited by Piper, we would recommend NHV Lesstress. Lesstress is an all natural herbal formulation that acts on the nervous and immune systems, calming anxiety that may be caused by things like separation or fear of strangers. It also has the effect reducing hyperactivity and excitability, reduces destructive behaviour and boosts the immune system.
As Piper’s behaviour is quite centered around fear and anxiety, this supplement should be very effective in addressing this as the key issue. Among other herbs, this formula contains Chamomile and Passion Flower which are natural calming agents that help address nervousness and excitability.
Please note that our supplements are all natural herbal formulas and do need time to work. Some pet parents have noticed a difference in their pet after a few days while others have noticed a difference after 2-3 weeks. We would ask that you use the supplement for at least 3 weeks to allow the supplement to work to the best of it’s ability.
Please note that we have 2 dosages: The maintenance dosage used to maintain health, which is on the bottle (1 drop per 2 lbs of weight, twice per day) and a therapeutic dosage used to address a condition, which is outlined in the table below. We would suggest using the therapeutic dosage when addressing this condition.
Therapeutic Pet’s Weight Dosage– to be taken two times per day
0 – 24 lb = 0.5 mL
25 – 49 lb = 1.0 mL
50 – 74 lb = 1.5 mL
Over 75 lb = 2.0 mL
We would suggest administering the supplements with food or with your furry friend’s favorite treat for convenience. Alternatively you may wish to administer the product via a syringe or dropper directly into the mouth preferably after feeding so that the product is easier on the digestive system.
With regard to the Thundershirt, it will not interfere or react negatively with our NHV supplement so if you wish to purchase and use it, it is completely up to your discretion. However we would suggest trying the NHV Lesstress first as we feel it may be more cost effective and generally a more consistent product.
I hope that you find this information helpful and if you have any questions about the supplements or dosages, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are always happy to help!
