All For Paws Calming Pals

An anxious dog may pant, pace, tremble, drool, withdraw from its owner, or hide. Alternatively, they may appear irritable or aggressive (i.e., bark or growl at someone). The dog's tail may be low or tucked, ears back, eyes dilated or showing lots of white around them.

Dog anxiety toys can be effective for managing anxiety in some dogs, although their effectiveness may vary depending on the individual dog and the specific toy. Among the most popular options are plush toys equipped with a heartbeat device, such as the Anti-Anxiety Plush Buddy. These toys can be particularly helpful for puppies transitioning to sleeping without their mother or littermates.

Lick mats can potentially help dogs with anxiety by providing them with a soothing and distracting activity. The repetitive licking motion can help calm dogs down and alleviate stress. They can be used as part of a desensitising and counterconditioning program. Our Anti-Anxiety Bath Duck is a great tool to have, when you need to bath you dog, as a distraction. However, this only works for food motivated dogs.
