Keeping Your Pets Calm This Christmas
The festive season is a time of joy and celebration, but for our pets, the hustle and bustle of Christmas can sometimes feel overwhelming. Between visitors, loud parties, and the change in routine, it’s important to help our furry friends feel safe and calm.
Here are our top tips and products to keep your pet stress-free and happy this Christmas.
Natural Calming Products
Create a sense of tranquillity for dogs and cats with external herbal remedies. These non-invasive options are perfect for anxious pets that prefer not to be overly handled.
Pet Remedy Calming Plug-in: This plug-in diffuser uses a blend of essential oils, including valerian, to calm stressed pets. Pet Remedy works by mimicking your pet's natural calming mechanisms, tricking their neural pathways. No Christmas miracles, just science.
Simply plug it into the room your dog or cat spends the most time in, and it will release a gentle scent to keep them relaxed.
Dogkind Calming Spray: Infused with lavender and valerian, this spray is perfect for instant relief. Use it on your dog’s bed, in their crate, or in the car to create a calming environment on the go or during busy festive moments.
Brown’s Top Tip: Dogkind is made for dogs. For cats or multi-pet households, try Pet Remedy Calming Spray.
Internal Calming Remedies
For pets needing extra support, internal remedies are a great option.
Dorwest Scullcap And Valerian Tablets: Fed whole or crushed, these tablets are a natural solution to managing stress and anxiety. Scullcap and valerian promote calm and focus, without sedative effects.
Dorwest Valerian Compound: This liquid can be used in conjunction with Dorwest Scullcap and Valerian Tablets, or as a standalone remedy. Valerian Compound is fast-acting and gets to work within thirty minutes - perfect for unexpected visitors or surprise fireworks.
Begin administering these at least a couple of weeks before Christmas for the best results.
Create a Calm Sanctuary
While Christmas is full of excitement and chaos, it’s essential to provide your pet with a quiet space to retreat. Set up a cosy corner with their bed, blankets, and favourite toys, and consider placing a Pet Remedy Calming Plug-in nearby for added relaxation.
Did you know that dogs need 12-14 hours of sleep a day, and our feline friends can snooze for anything up to 18 hours? Your pet’s quiet place should be undisturbed so that they can get the rest they need - ensure visiting family members (especially Santa’s little helpers) know to leave them be.
A Festive Season to Remember
With the right preparations, your pets can enjoy the Christmas season alongside you. Natural calming products, stress-relieving toys, and a safe sanctuary will help your pets stay relaxed and happy throughout the festivities. Because when your pets are calm and content, Christmas becomes even more magical for the whole family!
