Dog calming supplement FAQs
How often should I give my dog stress relief?
Calming supplements for dogs can be given as either a long or short-term option. If your dog has ongoing anxiety issues, daily use may be beneficial. If, however, they’re unsettled by specific events – such as Bonfire Night or their annual check-up at the vet – giving them calming support in the weeks leading up to the event would be best.
How fast do YuMOVE Calming Support for Dogs supplements work?
It takes up to 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits. Our supplements can be given long-term to dogs who need them, or for shorter periods in the lead to a specific event – just make sure you give them for 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits.
What causes stress and anxiety in dogs?
Dogs can feel stressed by lots of things, such as loud noises like fireworks, changes to their normal routine, being left alone, unfamiliar people or places, or not getting enough play and exercise. Sometimes, past experiences or medical conditions can also cause anxiety issues.
If your dog is experiencing anxiety, you may notice some of the following behaviours:
Accidents around the house
Barking, howling, and/or whining
Destructive behaviour, like chewing or digging
Pacing and attempting to escape
Shivering and shaking
Hiding
How to calm a dog down?
There’s no one size fits all when it comes to calming an anxious dog and, of course, it depends on what’s making your dog anxious or nervous in the first place. Here are some calming tips to try:
Speak softly to your dog and give lots of cuddles and reassurance
If your dog prefers to be left alone when anxious, create a safe, comfortable space for them to retreat to
Take them on a familiar or favourite walk
Play soothing music or turn the TV on low for gentle background noise

Common dog breeds: breed specific information around calming
Some dog breeds – such as Border Collies, German Shepherds, Greyhounds, and Chihuahuas – can be more prone to anxiety. This may be due to their high intelligence, sensitivity, or strong attachment to their owners.
Understanding your pup’s needs, creating a calm environment, and using helpful tools like YuMOVE Calming Support supplements or training can make a big difference in their happiness, and yours!
