Nutracalm Fast-Acting Calming Supplement for Dogs & Cats — Capsules & Chews

Nutracalm is a fast-acting natural calming supplement from Nutravet, and the one our vets and the trainers at The Dog Training Company recommend most often. It takes the edge off stress without sedating, so your pet stays themselves, just calmer. Most owners notice a difference within about an hour.

Use it on the day for fireworks, vet visits, travel or the groomer, or daily for pets with ongoing anxiety, separation issues or reactivity that you're working on with a trainer.

Frequently asked questions

Will it make my dog drowsy?
No. It calms without sedating, which is why it's suitable for training sessions as well as stressful events.

Can I give it every day?
Yes. Many pets with ongoing anxiety take it daily for months.

Is it enough for severe fireworks fear?
For mild to moderate anxiety, usually. For severe phobia, talk to us about prescription options alongside it, and start the Nutracalm a few days before.

Supplied by a veterinary practice

Nutracalm is a complementary feed supplied by Paws & Co Veterinary Centre, an independent vet practice in Yorkshire. It is not a medicine. If your pet's anxiety is severe or has started suddenly, please book an appointment, as pain and illness can show up as behaviour change. For behaviour and training support, our sister company The Dog Training Company has centres in Leeds and Sheffield.
