How to Help Your Pet Stay Grounded and Relaxed During the Festive Season — Naturally
As the holiday season approaches, it's important to remember that our furry friends may also need some extra support to navigate the hustle and bustle. Just like we prepare ourselves for the chaos ahead, our pets can benefit from a calm routine to help them stay relaxed and comfortable.
Start using calming herbs a few days before travel or gatherings. The consistent support allows the herbs to work with the body’s rhythms, helping the nervous system find balance naturally.
For pets with stronger anxiety triggers like car rides, visitors, fireworks, or separation, we have two great options of herbal allies to help your dog feel their best during the chaos of the holidays. First we have Fast Relax Extract that is an herbal only calming remedy that helps calm our dog's nerves in the moment, quickly! We also have Fast Relax Plus+ CBD which offers a deeper layer of ease if your dog responds to CBD for anxiety. This seems to be a 50/50. CBD and nervine herbs complement each other beautifully, soothing both the emotional and physical tension that stress can create.
Why Start Early?
Building a calm routine for your pet before the holiday chaos begins can make a significant difference in their overall well-being. By starting early, you give your pet time to adjust to any changes and establish a sense of calm before the stressors kick in.
The Power of Calming Herbs
Calming herbs can be a great addition to your pet's routine to help them stay relaxed and balanced. By incorporating these herbs a few days before travel or gatherings, you allow their natural calming properties to take effect and support your pet's nervous system.
Some herbs help our pets feel relaxed in the moment while others tone their nervous system so over time their reactions to their stressors become less intense.
Herbs that are in Fast Relax Blends and how they help:
Fast Relax Extract
Fast Relax Extract is our pride and joy.. our original anxiety extract that has helped thousands of dogs across the country, and across the pond! We blend 4 traditional calming herbs to help your dog feel calm, confident and comfortable fast! A few squirts in their mouth or in a small amount of food if necessary, and you will see your dog breathe a sigh of relief in under 20 minutes. It's perfect for chronic situations of stress that is always there, those dog walks where you just need your dog to relax a bit more or those sporadic, random "scary" moments that pop up out of no where like thunder, fireworks or a construction crew next door.
Fast Relax Plus+ CBD
Fast Relax Plus+ CBD can offer an additional layer of ease if your dog responds to CBD for their anxiousness. From all my years talking to pet parents, I've learn in the field that CBD works wonders for 50% of dogs and just doesn't do much for the other 50%. So, if your dog responds to CBD for their anxiety, Fast Relax Plus+ CBD is an amazingly supportive blend. The same original herbal base plus 500 mg of quality CBD per 1 oz.
Feline Fast Relax
Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about our kitty friends! We do have a separate Feline Fast Relax for them because chamomile flowers are toxic to cats! We have formulated a feline specific calming extract with lemon balm, oatstraw and skullcap to help your skittish, hide-away-from-everyone-except-you cat feel more relaxed in their skin and in their home.
By incorporating calming herbs and supplements into your pet's routine, you can help them navigate the holiday season with more ease and comfort.
