There are many forms of medications that can help Fido overcome his anxiety and some don’t even have to come in pill or liquid form! Check out these six (6) wonderful treatments!

Bach Rescue Remedy for Anxiety
If your dog suffers from anxiety due to thunderstorms, car rides, or even separation anxiety, Bach Rescue Remedy for pets can be the safe alternative you need to help calm them down. Just like Bach products for humans, Bach Rescue Remedy Pets is made with pure herbal extracts and help them clam down almost immediately. This natural remedy is alcohol free and is safe for pets of any size.

• Chillout Dog Treats for Anxiety
Your anxious dog may find relief easier to take if it’s in the form of a treat rather than a pill. These treats, made by Isle of Dogs, are 100% natural and utilize the calming effects of lavender and Lemon Balm Extract to help your dog relax during thunderstorms or other times of great anxiety. Chillout dog treats are also free of wheat gluten. Especially useful for re-training your dog to look forward to car rides.

• Thundershirt for Anxiety
Thundershirt is like a big hug for your dog. It works to help keep them feeling safe and content. Thundershirt has worked for dogs that suffer thunderstorm anxiety and even for those that have problems with travelling anxiety. It’s easy to put on and it’s even machine washable.

• Virbac Anxitane for Anxiety
This is another chewable tablet that is a safe choice for anxious dogs. The active ingredient is L-Theanine. These pills help reduce stress with none of the drowsy side effects of some anxiety medications.

• HomeoPet Anxiety Relief
100% natural relief for your pet. HomeoPet Anxiety Relief isn’t just good for dogs, it also works for cats, rabbits, birds, ferrets, hamsters and even pot-bellied pigs. It’s a fast acting liquid formula that contains no chemicals. This is another great choice for anyone looking for natural relief for their dog’s anxiety.

• Pet-Plicity Calming for Anxiety
Pet-Plicity is the maker of this liquid dog calming aid that helps decrease separation anxiety and more. It is great for general pet stress relief, as well as reducing fear during thunderstorms. It is soothing and all natural.

We love the idea of a remedy being all natural (Homeopet) or, if your pup is not a pill-taker, not having to worry about that at all (Thundershirt)!

There are more anxiety medications and you can find them on Heavy. Not all dogs are meant to be left alone, drive in cars, and are thunderstorm savvy. For those pooches it’s nice to know a treatment is available to make both your and your doggy's life easier!
