Whether it’s New Year’s Eve’s Eve with its loud fireworks, big family celebrations, an impending storm or a visit to the veterinarian – there are many events that can cause enormous stress to dogs. You can hardly protect your dog from all stress triggers – and events like the New Year are so rare that you can’t get the animal used to them. Sedatives for dogs are a good alternative to counteract the stress that occurs, to calm the situation and to protect your own animal.

The mother dog sprays pheromones after the birth of the puppy to provide the little puppies with a stress-free time. As a result, they react less sensitively to stimuli and are calmed down. Some collars have a substance mimicking this pheromone on them. The collar is close to the body and emits the ingredient due to the body heat. There are corresponding collars not only for adult dogs, but of course also for puppies.

If there is a risk of a stressful situation, sometimes even unannounced, fast-acting sprays and tablets can be used as sedatives for dogs. Tablets that can be used as feed supplement contain a special mixture of vitamins and amino acids that help to relax the dog within a few hours. Sprays are also effective, but you should not spray them as a sedative on your dog but instead on its surroundings. This way, restlessness, trembling and anxiety during long car journeys or transport in a box can be reduced. These preparations also contain pheromones that are effective for up to five hours.

Many noises are not audible to us humans due to the frequency. Special relaxation devices, whose tones remain inaudible for us, are ideal as sedatives for dogs. With sufficient habituation time, these melodies have a relaxing effect on the pet.

Stress is pleasant for neither dogs nor people. However, we can distract ourselves and know that stress usually passes at some point. Dogs feel threatened by it, are afraid, and can react with aggression if the pressure and stress are too high. A sedative for dogs helps to prevent unwanted stress from occurring at all. There are different preparations for this, all of which have a supportive effect. In the Maxi Zoo online shop you will find a large selection of products.
