I am very shamelessly a millennial dog mom. You know the type - I have a custom embroidery of my pup proudly displayed in my living room and spend my weekends rocking my “dog mom” baseball hat while sitting on the patios of dog-friendly breweries. My rescue pup, Bear, is my pride and joy. Although he’s in the most loving home now, his short time in the shelter led to some lingering anxiety issues. With some time and a lot of training, we saw some of his anxious tendencies start to improve. Unfortunately, we couldn’t seem to find a cure for his separation anxiety.

If your dog has anxiety issues, you know how stressful (and sad) it can be to watch them struggle. Every time I left the house, I felt guilty knowing that Bear’s nerves were about to kick in. I was desperate for a solution that would help both Bear and I chill out. I had heard about pet supplements, but was always pretty hesitant. Did they really work? Were they really good for my dog? I had a lot of questions, but never really took the time to find the answers.

A solution approved by the professionals

Bear and I went through many trials and errors trying to cure his separation anxiety, but nothing seemed to stick. Feeling defeated, I turned to a pet-expert I knew I could trust and scheduled an appointment with Bear’s vet. To my surprise, the first question she asked was “have you tried calming treats?”. In complete shock I responded, “I don’t know, can I?!”. Turns out, there are a lot of supplements out there that really do work, and are totally safe for your pet.

Our vet recommended that we try “Calming Aid” by Finn. The soft chew treats are completely grain-free and made with natural ingredients. Formulated with relaxing natural herbs, the chews support dogs just like Bear, who experience nervousness or discontentment (they’re also helpful for pups experiencing hyperactivity). 

We instantly started to see improvements. Bear’s stress levels were plummeting and he was spending hours at home alone completely calm. Who knew that organic passion flower and chamomile were the answer to our problem!

Sit, shake, Finn.

Our morning routine in a nutshell. Bear looks forward to his little treat and I look forward to a peaceful day knowing that Bear is happy at home, snoozing away. We’ve also recently added Finn’s Skin & Coat chews into the mix which have tremendously alleviated Bear’s constant shedding (our vacuum cleaner is thankful for the break).
