Which is the best YuMOVE calming supplement for your pet?

If your dog gets spooked by loud bangs, hides when visitors arrive or struggles when left alone, you’ll know how tough it can be to help them settle. Whether it’s fireworks crackling outside or a doorbell mid-nap, every dog has their triggers. Some take life’s surprises in their stride, while others need a little extra support to stay calm. That’s where calming supplements for dogs can be helpful.

YuMOVE’s Calming Care for dogs is designed to help reduce stress, support calm behaviour and ease anxiety in dogs of all shapes and sizes. Here’s a simple guide to help you find the best option for your furry friend.

Why choose a calming supplement for your pet

From fireworks to vet visits, there are plenty of things that can leave dogs feeling tense. Some might pace or pant when they hear loud bangs. Others might hide away when guests arrive or get nervous during car journeys.

Calming supplements can help by supporting the natural calming pathways in your dog’s brain, helping them manage stressful moments more easily. They’re particularly useful in the run-up to firework-heavy seasons like Bonfire Night or Diwali when many dogs could use a little extra support.

YuMOVE Calming Care tablets

YuMOVE Calming Care for Adult Dogs is a daily tablet made with scientifically backed ingredients, including L-Tryptophan and Fish Protein Hydrolysate. It can help reduce stress and support calm behaviour in your dog. 

Some owners prefer tablets because they’re easy to give with meals and make it simple to adjust the amount for smaller or larger dogs. The number of tablets needed depends on your dog’s size, so it’s best to check the pack for the right daily amount. They can be given every day to support dogs who feel anxious in everyday life, or used short-term to help with specific triggers like travel or fireworks.

What ingredients are in the Calming Care range?

Both the tablets and bites contain a thoughtful blend of scientifically backed ingredients, carefully chosen to help our pets feel calm and balanced. 

• Lemon balm – A popular herb with a gentle lemon-mint aroma. Lemon balm helps with feelings of relaxation, soothing stress and encouraging calmer behaviour.
• B vitamins – Support energy, metabolism, heart health and brain function. As dogs can’t produce B vitamins themselves, they need to get them through diet or supplements. Read about the benefits of vitamin B for dogs.
• L-Tryptophan – An amino acid found in many proteins, involved in producing serotonin – a key part of supporting calm and positive behaviour. View our range of calming supplements with L-Tryptophan.
• GABA and L-Arginine – This natural combination helps maintain the calming pathways in the brain and supports relaxation.
• Fish protein hydrolysate –Supports your pet’s brain, helping calming signals find the right spot.

Together, these ingredients can help your dog stay settled in everyday life – and cope better when the world gets a little noisy.
