Description
Our poor pups can easily get worried by loud noises or uncertain situations. When that fear becomes a trigger, it can lead to anxiety and chronic stress. Some common symptoms of stress and anxiety in dogs are:
- Trembling
- Hiding
- Pacing
- Destructive behavior
As it turns out, the brain and gut are constantly communicating and influencing one another in a relationship known as the “gut-brain axis.”
Over time, chronic anxiety in dogs may even lead to consequences for their physical health. This includes consequences like a weakened immune system, inflammation, and digestive upset (including diarrhea).
To help your pet cope with stress, natural supplements may play a supportive role in their daily wellness routine to help them in each of these areas.
Combatting Stress and NHV Lesstress
Natural supplements may offer additional support for your dog experiencing stress and anxiety. When taken daily, herbal formulas like NHV Lesstress may promote feelings of calmness.
In a calm state, a pet’s body can better repair the harms of stress, like inflammation and damage to the gut microbiome. Therefore, the importance of helping to keep your pet calm and happy is not just important for their mental well-being, it’s important for their physical well-being too.
Lesstress also contains ingredients that may support the immune system, such as Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia.
Stress in Pets and NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic
Probiotics may help reduce stress in dogs by promoting a healthy gut, which is linked to improved mood and emotional stability. Some research even suggests that a healthy microbiome may reduce anxiety by influencing neurotransmitter production, such as serotonin.
NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic offers 7 strains of healthy bacteria. For example, Bacillus coagulans LBSC, which may soothe constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, and IBS, or Lactobacillus acidophilus 033AE, which may help with immune functioning.
Supporting Your Dog with Stress and Anxiety
By addressing both the gut microbiome and the symptoms of anxiety, your fur kiddo may get better results than addressing one factor alone. It’s all part of the holistic care strategy: one where we look at all aspects of health at the same time, rather than one at a time.
