Calming Supplement Chews For Dogs
These soft calming supplement chews are designed for adult and senior dogs who need support during stressful situations like separation or travel. They use ingredients such as hemp seed oil, passion flower, chamomile, valerian root, L-theanine, and L-tryptophan, with a base of apple, sweet potato, and oat flour. They’re intended as a functional treat-style supplement rather than a complete food.

Solid Option
This is a thoughtfully formulated calming supplement for adult and senior dogs, using several well-known calming ingredients along with gentle whole-food carriers. It can be a reasonable option for dogs who need occasional support with stress, as long as you follow the cautions and use it alongside, not instead of, behavioral strategies. Because it’s a supplement and not a complete diet, it should only be given in addition to a balanced dog food.

Strengths
- Includes multiple calming ingredients such as hemp seed oil, passion flower, chamomile, valerian root, L-theanine, and L-tryptophan.
- Uses recognizable food ingredients like apples, sweet potatoes, oat flour, and honey as the chew base instead of more artificial carriers.
- Contains mixed tocopherols, which act as a natural preservative and help maintain product freshness.
- Soft chew format and clear weight-based dosing make it easy to give to most adult and senior dogs.
Considerations
- This is a supplement, not a complete and balanced food, so it must be fed alongside a regular dog diet.
- Several cautions are listed, including not for immature, pregnant, or lactating dogs and not for long-term use without veterinary guidance.
- Dogs on other medications or with underlying health issues should use this only under a veterinarian’s supervision.
- Some dogs may develop loose stool or GI upset, especially at higher doses or when first starting the product.

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
Passiflora Incarnata
Passiflora incarnata (passionflower) is a botanical ingredient used in pet supplements and calming treats for its mild sedative and anxiolytic properties rather than as a nutrient; it contains flavonoids and alkaloids that are thought to influence nervous system activity in dogs and cats. While it may help reduce mild anxiety or promote relaxation, evidence in pets is limited and it should be used cautiously—avoid combining with other central nervous system depressants, and consult your veterinarian before use in pregnant or nursing animals or pets on medications due to potential interactions and dosing concerns.
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
Valerian Root
Valerian root is an herbal calming ingredient typically used in treats and supplements (not as a nutritional protein, vitamin or fiber) to help promote relaxation and reduce anxiety in dogs and cats through mild sedative/anxiolytic effects. Some cats may show an initial excited response followed by calmness; potential side effects include drowsiness, gastrointestinal upset, and interactions with other sedatives or certain medical conditions, so use under veterinary guidance and avoid in pregnant animals or pets with liver disease.
05
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.
