Stress and Sleep Support - Pet Botanicals

Just like humans, our pets can experience anxiety, restlessness, and trouble sleeping. Whether it's separation anxiety, loud noises like storms and fireworks, changes in routine, or general nervousness, these stressors can affect your pet’s wellbeing. Our gentle, alcohol-free herbal blend has been specially formulated to help calm and relax your furry friends — without sedation or grogginess.

This remedy contains a carefully balanced blend of herbs known for their calming and nervous system-supporting actions, including Lemon Balm, Passionflower, and California Poppy.

Key Ingredients

• Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – A gentle, lemon-scented herb known for its calming and anti-anxiety effects. It helps ease nervous tension and supports digestion, which can become unsettled during stress.
• Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) – Traditionally used to quiet the mind and relax the body, Passionflower is excellent for reducing nervous excitement, restlessness, and mild sleep issues in both people and animals.
• California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) – A soothing herb that promotes deeper, more restful sleep. It has mild sedative properties without being overpowering and can help ease agitation, especially in pets prone to nighttime wakefulness or high reactivity.
