Helping your dog feel calmer and more secure

It can be difficult to see your dog struggling to settle, especially when you’re not sure what’s making them uncomfortable.

Dogs can react differently to loud noises, unfamiliar places, changes in routine or time alone. Our dog calming range gives you some different ways to support your pet, including pheromone-based products for their environment and oral support.

Understanding what’s triggering your pet and where they need support can help you choose the best calming treatment for your dog.

How can you tell if your dog is stressed?

Dogs can show stress through changes in their body language, behaviour and normal routine.

Signs you might notice include:

  • Pacing or struggling to settle
  • Panting when they’re not hot or exercising
  • Trembling
  • Barking or whining more than usual
  • Repeated licking
  • Drooling
  • Toileting indoors unexpectedly

Stress can be triggered by things like fireworks, storms, visitors, travel, being left alone or changes at home. These signs don’t always mean your dog is stressed though and sudden or persistent behaviour changes can have other causes.

We have more dog stress advice if you want to understand common triggers and ways to support your pet.

How to calm a dog down

To help calm your dog down, reduce what’s upsetting them where possible, give them somewhere familiar to settle and keep your own behaviour calm and predictable.

Our expert advice would be to:

  • Move your dog away from an avoidable trigger if you can safely
  • Give them access to a quiet place where they already feel comfortable
  • Keep your voice, movements and routine as calm as possible
  • Let your dog decide whether they want interaction rather than forcing reassurance
  • Keep familiar routines in place where you can
  • Use appropriate calming support for situations you know they find difficult
  • Speak to your vet or a behaviourist if the problem is severe or keeps happening

Calming products can support your dog, but they work best alongside sensible changes to their environment and routine.

Choosing the right dog calming product

The right dog calming product depends on where your dog needs support, how long they need it for and which format works best for their routine.

Our core calming range includes a gel pheromone diffuser, a pheromone collar and calming dog pills.

Calming diffuser for dogs

Our Zenidog Gel Diffuser provides pheromone calming support within the area where it’s placed.

Pheromones are species-specific chemical signals that animals use to communicate with each other. Zenidog uses synthetic canine appeasing pheromones that mimic the reassuring signals naturally released by nursing female dogs. These calming pheromones for dogs are designed to help support a greater sense of security and calm.

The electric-free gel calming diffuser for dogs is portable, covers an area of around 70m² and lasts for up to two months, making it a useful option when your dog needs support within your home or another indoor space.

Calming collar for dogs

Our Zenidog Collar uses the same pheromone approach in a wearable format, so the support stays with your dog as they move around.

This can be useful if your dog needs consistent calming support. The calming collar for dogs continuously releases pheromones while it’s worn, is adjustable and lasts for up to three months.

Calming tablets for dogs

If you’d prefer an oral option, Anxitane is a complementary feed containing L-theanine from green tea concentrate.

L-theanine supports calm and relaxation without causing drowsiness. It can also support mental focus and learning, which makes Anxitane suitable for use alongside positive behavioural work.

Our Anxitane calming tablets for dogs provide a different approach from environmental pheromone products and can be used along with other pheromone products.  may suit dogs that need oral calming support.

What about calming dog chews?

If you’re interested in a chew format, we also offer VEGGIEDENT FR3SH & Zen calming dog chews. These combine dental-care benefits with calming support from L-theanine in green tea extract.

How to prepare your dog for stressful situations

When you know a difficult situation is coming, planning ahead can make it easier to support your dog.

Before events such as fireworks, storms, travel, visitors, vet appointments or a house move:

  • Prepare a quiet, familiar area where your dog can settle
  • Keep everyday routines as consistent as possible
  • Introduce changes gradually when you have the opportunity
  • Avoid forcing your dog into interactions they’re trying to move away from
  • Use your chosen calming product according to its instructions

The right preparation will depend on your dog and the trigger, but you should always prioritise your pet’s comfort, safety and needs in a stressful situation.

Calming support as part of your dog’s wider routine

Dogs often cope better with change when the rest of their day feels familiar and predictable. Regular mealtimes, appropriate exercise, enough rest and positive interaction can all help provide that consistency, along with strong everyday healthcare.

Suitable nutrition is also part of your dog’s wider wellbeing, although food itself shouldn’t be treated as a solution for stress.

Explore our range of dog food if you’re looking for nutrition matched to your dog’s life stage and individual needs.

When should you get professional help for a stressed dog?

Calming products and changes at home won’t be enough for every dog.

Speak to your vet or an accredited behaviourist if your dog’s behaviour changes suddenly, their distress is severe or prolonged or the problem regularly affects eating, sleeping or normal daily life. Professional support is also important if there’s aggression, a risk of harm or a possible medical cause.

A proper assessment can help identify what’s driving the behaviour and whether your dog needs a more tailored plan.

Find the right calming support for your dog

Dogs respond to stressful situations in different ways, so the most useful support is the one that fits your pet and the situations they find difficult.

We offer options for support within the home, on the move and through an oral format. Whichever approach you choose, use it as directed and alongside practical changes that help your dog feel safe and settled.

Explore our dog calming range and choose the type of support that best fits your dog’s routine.

Dog calming FAQs

How to calm an anxious dog

If your dog seems anxious, try to reduce avoidable triggers, give them a quiet familiar place and keep their routine predictable. Suitable calming support may also help. If their behaviour is severe, persistent or affecting their quality of life, speak to your vet or a behaviourist.

How to calm a stressed dog

If your dog seems stressed, first work out what may be triggering them and increase their distance from it where possible. Give them space, keep their surroundings calm and avoid forcing interaction. If stress keeps returning, professional behavioural or veterinary advice can help.

Do calming tablets for dogs make them sleepy?

It depends on the product. Anxitane contains L-theanine, which is designed to support calm and relaxation without causing drowsiness. That applies specifically to Anxitane, so always check the information for the calming tablets you’re considering.

Are pheromone diffusers or collars better for dogs?

Neither is automatically better. A diffuser provides pheromone support within a particular space, while a collar stays with your dog as they move between different environments. The right choice depends on where and when your dog tends to need support.

Can calming products for dogs be used with behavioural training?

Yes, calming support can be used alongside positive behavioural work and environmental management. Anxitane’s L-theanine can also support mental focus and learning. If your dog has persistent or complex behavioural problems, an accredited behaviourist or veterinary professional can help develop a suitable plan.
