DON'T LET DOG ANXIETY SIDELINE YOUR ADVENTURES TOGETHER, #GrabTheLeash and GO!

Many dogs experience anxiety.  Anxiety in dogs can be caused by a variety of things such as fireworks, thunder, car rides, or being left alone (separation anxiety).  

Three things make my dog Icy anxious; Thunder, Fireworks...... and a weird, puzzling occurrence on our walks into town.  We tried countless times to address her anxieties, but nothing worked.  We don't want to medicate her, but we need something that will effectively ease her anxiety.

We love going on the 7 minute walk from our house into town with our dogs.  It's a really nice walk to shops, restaurants, and other attractions on Main Street in our town, or "the village" as locals call it.  The noise, people and dogs walking along sidewalks don't bother Icy.  In fact, she is very confident on walks, hikes, meeting new people and visiting new places.

However, there is ONE SPOT along our walk into town that creates a ton of anxiety for her!  As soon as we get to this one particular spot on our walk, she becomes anxious and refuses to go any further. She insists on changing direction to head back home again. In this video you can see Icy's anxious reaction when we get to that particular spot on our walk, and then the difference  after we gave her two Therabis Calm and Quiet treats.




We couldn't figure out what was causing Icy such anxiety!  It's not a particularly noisy or crowded spot, there are no scary statues or anything, and there are no uncomfortable gratings on the sidewalk in that area.  Friends joked that maybe there is a ghost who haunts that precise spot!  OK, so the town is historical and was settled in the 1600's, but seriously, a ghost!?   We don't know what caused this anxiety in our normally confident dog, we just wanted to calm her anxiety so Icy could enjoy walks into town as much as we do.

When I was presented with the opportunity to try Therabis Calm and Quiet treats, I jumped at it!  I knew that if these treats could help Icy calmly walk into town and reduce her anxiety during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks, it would make life much more enjoyable for all of us.  So I decided to give it a try.

Therabis Calm and Quiet treat supplements can help dogs stay calm in stressful situations

Therabis Calm and Quiet treat supplements are formulated with naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the Hemp plant.  Combined with vitamins and green tea leaf extract (L-theanine), they can reduce stress levels and help dogs stay calm in stressful situations.  

ARE HEMP DERIVED CANNABINOIDS SAFE?


I had been reading a lot about Cannabinoid products and their success in treating both people and pets for a variety of issues.  At first I was unsure about pet products that use "naturally occurring cannabinoids", but after doing some research I felt much more confident about it.

Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the Hemp plant that is classified as a "Cannabinoid".  CBD interacts with your pet's endocannabinoid system - the central regulatory system known to affect bodily processes like digestion, mood and sleep.

 Therabis Hemp Derived Cannabinoid products contain Whole-Plant Hemp Oil, a Vitamin Blend, L-Theanine from green tea, Green Lipped Mussel powder, and other ingredients.  Calm and Quiet treats also contain natural ingredients including: Garbanzo flour, Pea flour, Palm fruit oil, Flaxseed meal, Coconut oil, and natural flavorings.

 Therabis was founded by Dr. Stephen M. Katz, a Veterinarian who spent a decade researching, developing, and perfecting their all-natural formulas.  Therabis products have been rigorously tested at the Bronx Veterinary Center over the past 10 years.  Additionally, Therabis products must pass any and all FDA requirements regarding stability and contamination.




WILL THERABIS CALM AND QUIET GET MY PET HIGH?


NO. Products with Cannabidiol (CBD) do NOT get people or pets "High", they are NOT the same as marijuana at all. Hemp and Marijuana are two very different plants.

THC is an ingredient that comes from the Marijuana plant.  THC creates a psychoactive effect and is the ingredient that creates the euphoric "high" of marijuana.

CBD comes from the Hemp plant and does NOT create a psychoactive effect in people or pets.  The Hemp plant has been bred to fulfill industrial applications like fiber, paper and nutrition.  It contains only trace amounts -  less than .3% THC by law, which is why neither people nor dogs experience a "high" when they consume hemp-derived products.

Therabis Calm and Quiet Treat Supplements for dogs do not create a psychoactive effect in your pet like the THC in marijuana does.  Calm and Quiet treats reduce stress levels to help ease anxiety and maintain a calm energy through stressful situations. Learn more about

Therabis Calm and Quiet dog treats helped ease Icy's anxiety on our walks into town so much, I tried them for her thunderstorm anxiety issue!  Icy always heads for the closet at the first hint of thunder.  We have a lot of thunderstorms so I didn't have to wait long to try it out. At the first clap of thunder, Icy was up like a shot and retreated to the closet.

I always feel so bad for Icy when a thunderstorm hits, she suffers the entire time.  I'm delighted to report that after giving Icy two Therabis Calm and Quiet treats while she was hiding in the closet, within 15 minutes she calmed down enough to come out of the closet on her own, with the thunderstorm still going on!

Icy can come out of the closet now that she has Therabis Calm and Quiet Treats!

I'm so glad I finally found something that will help Icy deal with the anxiety she feels during Walks into town, Thunderstorms and Fireworks!  I was really happy to see that in all those instances, the Therabis Calm and Quiet treats worked beautifully.  I'm almost looking forward to the next time our town decides to shoot off fireworks.... well, almost!
