Quiet Moments With Hemp Seed Calming Soft Chews Supplement
Verified Aug 23, 2026
A soft chew calming supplement for dogs over 12 weeks of age, designed for use before stressful events like storms, fireworks, travel, or separation. It uses a blend of hemp seed oil and powder, chamomile, passion flower, L-tryptophan, thiamine, ginger, and a small amount of melatonin to help support relaxation and ease tension. Ginger is included to help support dogs that tend to get an upset stomach when they’re anxious or traveling.

Strong Choice
This is a thoughtfully formulated calming supplement that combines several well-known relaxation-supporting ingredients in a soft chew format most dogs will accept easily. It’s best suited for generally healthy adult dogs who need short-term help around predictable stressors, such as car rides or holidays with fireworks. As with any supplement that affects mood and sleep, it’s something I’d prefer to see used under your veterinarian’s guidance, especially for dogs on other medications or with chronic health issues.

Strengths
- Contains a combination of hemp seed oil/powder, chamomile, passion flower, L-tryptophan, and melatonin, which are commonly used to support relaxation in dogs.
- Includes ginger, which can be helpful for dogs whose stress is associated with motion or mild stomach upset.
- Soft chew format is convenient for dosing and tends to be more palatable than tablets or capsules, which makes it easier to give at specific times before known stressors.
- Dosing is weight-based with instructions to give the product 30 minutes before a stressful event, which is appropriate for situational use rather than constant daily sedation.
Considerations
- This is a supplement, not a complete diet, so it should be viewed as an add-on to a balanced dog food, and not all dogs respond the same way to calming ingredients.
- Melatonin and L-tryptophan can cause drowsiness; dogs with underlying medical conditions or those on other medications, especially for behavior, seizures, or pain, should only use this under veterinary supervision.
- Brewers dried yeast and flaxseed are generally safe but could be an issue for a small number of dogs with specific sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Calming supplements can help with mild to moderate situational stress but are usually not enough on their own for dogs with severe anxiety, who may need a full behavioral and medical workup.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source high in essential fatty acids—notably linoleic (omega‑6) and alpha‑linolenic (omega‑3)—and can help support healthy skin and coat and general anti‑inflammatory benefits while adding calorie density. It is non‑psychoactive (negligible THC) but is rich in polyunsaturated fats that oxidize readily so products should be stabilized and stored properly; it provides limited preformed long‑chain omega‑3s (EPA/DHA) important for cats and, in very high amounts, may cause digestive upset or influence blood clotting.
02
Hemp Seed
Hemp seed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of protein, fiber and concentrated polyunsaturated fats (notably omega‑3 and omega‑6), and is commonly added as whole or hulled seeds, meal, or oil. It can support skin and coat health and supply digestible amino acids and micronutrients, but is calorie‑dense and should be treated as a supplemental ingredient (especially for cats, which rely on animal protein), and owners should choose reputable products since hulled seeds contain negligible THC/CBD but contamination, poor processing, or high fat content can be a concern for pets with pancreatitis.
03
Chamomile
Chamomile is an herbal botanical commonly used in pet supplements, treats and topical preparations as a mild calming, anti‑inflammatory and digestive aid rather than a primary nutrient source, with flavonoids and terpenoids that can help soothe gastrointestinal upset, skin irritation and mild anxiety in dogs and cats. It is generally safe in small, properly formulated amounts but can trigger allergic reactions in animals sensitive to the Asteraceae family, may interact with blood‑thinning medications, and concentrated essential oils or extracts should be avoided without veterinary guidance.

04
Ginger
Ginger is commonly added to pet foods and treats as a natural flavoring and functional ingredient to support digestion and reduce mild nausea, with active compounds like gingerols providing modest anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It can be beneficial for dogs (and occasionally cats) with motion sickness or stomach upset when used in small amounts, but high doses should be avoided and caution is advised for pets on anticoagulant medications, pregnant animals, or those with known sensitivities due to potential effects on clotting and occasional gastrointestinal irritation.

05
Passionflower
Passionflower is a botanical ingredient used in pet foods and supplements primarily for its calming or mild sedative properties rather than as a nutritional source, commonly found in treats or formulations aimed at reducing anxiety and stress. It may provide anxiolytic effects and antioxidant compounds, but evidence in dogs and cats is limited and dosing should follow veterinary guidance because it can interact with prescription sedatives and may cause gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, or pose risks for pregnant, nursing, or liver‑impaired animals.
