The Innovet Difference
HYPERACTIVITY
Jumping, whimpering for attention, barking, restlessness, and other hyperactive tendencies can make having guests over stressful as well put you in an embarrassing situation when out on walks. Ginger root, Chamomile, and Passion Flower are just a few of the calming ingredients that help keep over-excitement at bay.
STRESS
Calming Dog Treats feature a superior ratio of hemp CBD, Ashwagandha, and Valerian Root for faster and stronger help with stress, so those puppers that struggle with daily stress like separation anxiety can finally rest easy. Handy when traveling, when out on walks, and any other times when bumps in the road have your dog stressing out.
FEAR
When our dogs are hiding, trembling, and freaking out due to loud noises like fireworks, we often rush to give them a treat to calm them down. Now, you can give them a treat that truly helps calm them, and it's still deliciously savory to take their mind off the scariest of storms. Who doesn't love being rewarded when feeling down?!
AGGRESSION
Aggressive and destructive behavior is often the result of a complex anxiety condition and one of the hardest to treat. Thanks to Hemp CBD, Theanine, and Thiamin, along with the rest, Calming Treats help give aggressive dogs the inner peace and mental clarity that’s key to calming the storm in their head.
How to Deal with Every Type of Stress in Your Dog
Stress doesn’t just change how your dog acts. While it’s normal for dogs to feel stressed sometimes, constant anxiety can harm both their body and mood.
For example, if your dog is stressed for a long time, their immune system might not work as well, so they could get sick more easily. Stress can also upset the link between the brain and the stomach, which might cause changes in appetite, loose stools, or other stomach problems.
Long-term stress can cause inflammation and make pain harder to manage. This matters even more for dogs with joint problems.
Stress can also affect your dog’s heart. An anxious dog might have a faster heartbeat, and ongoing stress puts extra strain on their body.
That’s why helping your dog manage anxiety is important for their health. Calming supplements can be used along with vet care and training, but they shouldn’t take their place.
Signs of Stress and Anxiety in Dogs
Dogs can experience stress and anxiety for many reasons, including separation, unfamiliar environments, loud noises, travel, changes in routine, or overstimulation. While every dog reacts differently, anxiety often shows up through noticeable changes in behavior.
Common signs include:
| Symptom | What it may look like |
|---|---|
| Excessive barking | Barking more than usual, whining, or vocalizing when stressed |
| Pacing | Walking back and forth or being unable to settle |
| Trembling | Shaking or visibly trembling during stressful situations |
| Hiding | Seeking secluded spaces or avoiding people and other pets |
| Destructive behavior | Chewing furniture, scratching doors, or damaging objects |
| Restlessness | Struggling to relax or constantly changing positions |
| Changes in appetite | Eating less or showing little interest in food |
| Excessive licking | Repeatedly licking their paws, body, or other areas |
Recognizing these signs can help you identify when your dog may need additional support. Calming chews can provide nutrients and plant-based ingredients that promote relaxation and help dogs cope with everyday stress. However, persistent or severe anxiety should be discussed with a veterinarian.
Understanding the ingredients is one thing; knowing how they address your dog’s specific fears is another.
Our formula was designed to provide a comprehensive solution, whether the anxiety is a sudden panic or a constant, simmering stress.
For General Stress and Separation Anxiety
This is a chronic condition rooted in a fear of abandonment. A dog with this stress trigger requires consistent, foundational support. The goal is to build long-term emotional resilience and help your dog learn that being alone is safe, not scary.
Feeding your dog our chews daily allows ingredients like ashwagandha to work as intended by helping the body regulate its cortisol production more efficiently. This means the baseline level of stress hormone remains lower, making the dog less prone to panic.
Simultaneously, L-Tryptophan supports stable serotonin levels, which helps your dog maintain a more balanced mood day-to-day.
For Fear of Loud Noises (Fireworks and Thunderstorms)
This type of anxiety is situational and acute. It’s characterized by a massive spike in adrenaline and cortisol. The goal here is fast-acting relief.
The hemp (CBD) in our formula interacts quickly with the endocannabinoid system to help blunt this panic response and encourage a faster return to calm.
When given 30–60 minutes before a known trigger, ingredients like chamomile and valerian root act as gentle nervines. They soothe the central nervous system and prevent the fear from escalating into a full-blown phobic episode.
For Hyperactivity and Over-Excitement
While sometimes seen as a training issue, hyperactivity is often a manifestation of an anxious, overstimulated mind that doesn't know how to settle.
Our chews aren’t made to sedate your dog; rather, they help it focus. L-Theanine is the primary contributor here. It promotes alpha brainwave activity associated with “calm alertness.”
What it does is push an overexcited dog’s brain to filter out excess stimuli, which allows them to relax without becoming drowsy. This makes training and behavior modification more effective, as the dog is in a state of mind where they can actually learn.
One of the most important things you can do for your dog’s long-term physical health is address their anxiety.
Chronic stress is not just an emotional state; it's a physiological condition with serious, scientifically proven consequences.
When a dog is perpetually anxious, their body is flooded with the stress hormone cortisol. It’s useful for short-term survival, but when it’s chronically elevated, it wreaks havoc on the body.
- Suppressed Immune System: High cortisol levels are known to suppress the immune system's effectiveness. This can leave your dog more vulnerable to infections, skin conditions like hot spots, and other illnesses. A stressed dog is often a sick dog.
- Digestive Issues: The brain and the gut are intrinsically linked. The stress response diverts resources away from the digestive system, which can lead to chronic issues like diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting and can even exacerbate conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Pain and Inflammation: Stress triggers an inflammatory response in the body. For a dog with arthritis or joint issues, this constant inflammation can lead to increased pain, stiffness, and a faster deterioration of their condition.
- Cardiovascular Strain: Just as in humans, chronic anxiety can lead to elevated blood pressure and a higher resting heart rate, putting a long-term strain on your dog's heart.
A high-quality calming supplement does more than provide a temporary peace of mind. It protects your dog’s health from the silent, damaging effects of long-term stress.
Every dog reacts to stress in their own way. Some get anxious when left alone, while others are scared by storms, fireworks, travel, or new places.
1. General stress and separation anxiety
Dogs with separation anxiety can get upset when their owner leaves. They might bark a lot, whine, pace, scratch at doors, or act destructively.
A regular calming routine can help dogs who deal with daily stress. Ingredients like ashwagandha, hemp extract, and L-tryptophan support a balanced stress response and emotional well-being.
2. Fear of fireworks and thunderstorms
Loud, unexpected noises can make some dogs very scared. Signs include trembling, hiding, panting, pacing, barking, or trying to run away.
For predictable events such as fireworks or thunderstorms, calming support can be incorporated into your dog’s routine ahead of the expected trigger. Ingredients such as hemp extract, chamomile, and valerian root provide complementary support for relaxation.
3. Hyperactivity and over-excitement
Some dogs have trouble calming down when they’re overstimulated. They might bark, jump, pace, or always want attention, which can make daily life harder.
Calming chews help your dog relax without making them sleepy. L-theanine, chamomile, and other calming ingredients can help your dog stay calm but alert, so it’s easier for them to settle down.
4. Fear and nervousness
If your dog hides, trembles, whines, or becomes extra clingy, they may be feeling scared or nervous.
Whether the trigger is a new environment, unfamiliar people, travel, or another stressful situation, calming ingredients can provide nutritional support for your dog’s natural stress response.
Choosing a calming supplement starts with knowing what’s inside it and how it’s produced. Innovet focuses on quality control from ingredient sourcing through final production.

- AMAmanda M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoLife Changing
I have a very large 8 month old golden retriever puppy who has really bad separation anxiety. Coming home from work was always a nightmare because he would have rearranged the living room furniture and torn up anything he could get into. I couldn’t keep him crated because he was hurting himself trying to get out and I couldn’t keep him isolated to a single room because he literally chew through a door to get out. I started him on the calming chews and the CBD oil and it has restored my sanity and his as well, I’m sure ! He does still randomly have days where I’ll come home and find he’s gotten into something he shouldn’t have, but most days he just watches the neighborhood out the windows or plays in the backyard with his four legged brother and sister. It’s a much happier household.
