How Holiday Energy Affects Your Dog’s Nervous System
Think of how you feel when the calendar fills up, your to-do list triples, and there’s constant noise. Dogs and cats feel that same energy.. they just don’t have the words for it.
Signs of stress can show up subtly: pacing, clinginess, panting, trembling, hiding, or disrupted sleep. For some, it’s barking at every noise or retreating under the bed when guests arrive. As I always say, dogs show their stress in a variety of ways!
This is where herbal calmers shine. Our Fast Relax Extract offers a blend of nervine (nervous system loving) herbs that help regulate the nervous system without dulling your pet’s natural spark. It’s not about sedation, it’s about supporting their body’s ability to cope with stress gracefully.
As the holiday season approaches, the hustle and bustle can take a toll on our furry friends too. Just like humans, dogs and cats can experience stress and anxiety during this busy time of year. But how can you tell if your pet is feeling overwhelmed?
Recognizing the Signs of Stress in Pets
Signs of stress in pets can manifest in various ways. Watch out for subtle cues such as pacing, clinginess, panting, trembling, hiding, or disrupted sleep. Some pets may start barking excessively at every noise or seek refuge under the bed when guests arrive.

And don't worry, we didn't forget about your cats! Feline Fast Relax is formulated specifically for our kitty friends to help them feel more calm, comfortable and confident in their bodies and in their own homes when guests are nearby. One herbal ingredient in our original Fast Relax, chamomile, is known to be toxic to cats. We formulated Feline Fast Relax by removing that herb and is specifically made to calm our cats nervous system to help them feel more relaxed.
We can also support our pets feeling more relaxed during the holiday craze by respecting and honoring their space. Here are some ideas on how to help them in their home.
- Make sure the have a bed that is theirs and theirs only. Have their bed available in a quite corner of the room during gatherings and remind them they can go into it. You can do this by walking them over to their bed and telling them to lay down. Sometimes they may need a reminder and a command to help them relax.
- Prep frozen enrichment toys filled with pet-safe foods that they can eat on their beds during the holiday events. To learn about all the types of "human" foods dogs can safely eat, check out our Safe Fresh Foods For Dogs video class that will help you start to feel more confident putting together your own frozen enrichment treats.
- Make sure your dog gets enough exercise the day of your gathering. Getting enough physical exercise is important to help their bodies feel more calm.
Don't let holiday overwhelm take a toll on your pet's well-being. Give them the gift of calm with our Fast Relax Extract and help them navigate the festive season with ease.
