Calmex for dogs

Fear and stress are responses essential for survival as they prepare the body to react in dangerous situations. Life threatening situations are rare but unfortunately many dogs lose control of their normal response to commonplace sights, sounds and experiences, resulting in excessive and exaggerated reactions.

Causes of fear and anxiety in dogs

Transport

Car travel or other transport can cause heightened fear and anxiety.

Noise

Amongst other sounds, the noise from thunderstorms or fireworks is a common cause of fear and anxiety.

Lifestyle changes

From a new job to a new baby, even small lifestyle changes can prove stressful for dogs.

Veterinary visits

Routine visits for annual vaccinations, dental checks, nail clipping and anal sac expression can lead to increased stress and anxiety.

Post operative

After surgeries such as routine neuters or orthopaedic surgeries dogs and cats should rest. However they often feel anxious with changes in routine, collars and bandages in place.

Boarding & kennelling

The environmental changes that a dog or cat experiences when boarding or kennelling and separation from their owner can be very stressful.
