Dog Supplements with L-Tryptophan
FAQ's
How does L-Tryptophan calm dogs?
L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that’s found naturally in many foods and is metabolised into serotonin in the brain. It supports the production of serotonin to help reduce stress-related behaviours in your dog.
How long does it take for L-Tryptophan to work for dogs?
The time it takes to see the support of L-Tryptophan can vary depending on your dog. For best results, we recommend using a calming supplement, such as YuMOVE Calming Care, for at least 3-6 weeks before a potentially triggering event, like fireworks.
Are there side effects of L-Tryptophan for dogs?
L-Tryptophan is generally very well tolerated by dogs, and no serious side effects would be expected. However, like with any new food product or ingredient, some dogs may experience slight tummy upsets, including wind and loose stools.
How much L-Tryptophan should I give my dog?
In our YuMOVE Calming Care supplements for dogs, each tablet provides 200mg of L-Tryptophan, so the amount of L-Tryptophan that they receive depends on the size of your dog. The level of L-Tryptophan will vary in our One-a-day chews, depending on the size of the chew.
