Best 5 Herbal Method to Help a Pet in Distress

Can you help a pet in distress using herbal remedies?

Pet anxiety is extremely common, and many pets can feel distressed in extremely loud, new, or tense situations. From traveling in a car to hearing fireworks and visiting a new place, there are many occasions during which your pet may become visibly distressed and frightened. To help your pup to calm down and to ensure that they are safe and healthy, here are some of the top ways that you can treat your pet using herbal remedies.

Invest in CBD.

CBD oil is known for its anti-anxiety properties, with many studies showing that CBD can relax dogs and make them less prone to anxiety in high-stress situations. Like how CBD works within humans, CBD can react with the body’s natural endocannabinoid receptors to stimulate the creation of serotonin in the body, which can help to regulate your dog’s mood and lessen their physical and mental symptoms of distress. What’s more, it is relatively easy to give your dog CBD, with CeeBeeDoo offering hemp dog treats that can help to calm your pet down instantly.

Buy Catnip.

Although you might believe that catnip is only a special treat for cats, you should consider investing in catnip for both your cats and dogs. Not only does catnip excite and interest your cat, but varieties of dog catnip can be used to lessen their distress and help them to cope with anxiety-inducing circumstances. Catnip is used as a pain reliever, and it can also help to reduce symptoms of anxiety, such as high levels of physical activity and an inability to sleep.

Consider Chamomile or Lavender.

There are many essential oils that you can give your pet in high-stress situations that are known for being calming. Although some of the essential oils that humans regularly use, such as tea tree oil and peppermint, are harmful to pets, others, such as chamomile and lavender, can have numerous positive effects on your animals. You can use these essential oils in a diffuser to help them, remember to blend the oils with a good carrier oil like grapeseed oil (water does not dilute oil) and ensure that neither you nor your pet ingests the oils.

Use Homeopathic Solutions.

Homeopathic solutions are perfect for helping to de-stress anxious dogs as they do exactly what is said on the label and have been specially created to reduce the symptoms of certain conditions. Of the range of options on the market, Aconite is the best option to help with all types of anxiety and any fear that your dog may be experiencing and works best on dogs who are under stress from environmental factors, such as storms and fireworks.

Get Flower Essences.

Flower tinctures for dogs work similarly to essential oils, but with less toxicity, though you should always ensure that the flower you want to use is safe for your pet. These essences come in droplets, which you can then pipette onto your dog’s food or into their water to ensure that they consume the tincture and get the desired effects when they are needed.
