Epi4Dogs

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone had tried any natural anxiety treatments/regimens and if they worked. I always try to go natural whenever possible but understand some times pharmaceuticals are a must. Your insight and input are so appreciated!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are lots of natural things you can give a dog, (and this includes an EPI dog) that can help with anxiety.
My favorites are
1. valerian
2. passion flower
3. combo extract of both valerian & passion flower
4. rescue remedy

Several years ago, a friend tried an Adaptil collar on her severely anxious dog and it worked wonders. She still swears by it. Best of all, it doesn't have to be consumed.

Thank you so much for all of the suggestions! I'm going to try them and see what works!

Hi. I've heard some owners EPI and non-EPI reporting good results using CBD for dogs HOWEVER I suggest consulting with your vet before trying it.

Most definitely check with your vet first. For our younger dog, it was not recommended, but our older dog DUDU has anxiety and arthritis issues, we found our vet told us to use this best cbd oil for dogs which turns out to be high quality and a part of the CBD community in whole.

CBD doesn't always work... i tried it on my 14+1/2 yr old dog with arthritis and it did nothing for her. Yet my neighbor used it for her dog also and it helped her. So please do chat with your vet first but know that it may or may not help............

So far the rescue remedy seems to be tempering the anxiety! So I'll stick with this for now! I've heard a lot about CBD as well...I guess it's like anything else...it works for some and not for others.

Just a thought - there's a product called a Thundershirt, too, which is designed to help cats and dogs with anxiety. Its like wearing a hug. It wraps around them like a blanket coat, but has extra panels to snug it up, so they feel swaddled.

Ooooo! I like that idea!!!! Maya doesn’t mind wearing coats etc so the shirt is worth trying! Thank you!!!!
