Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much Calming Care should a large dog over 50 lb receive per dose?

Ans: For dogs over 50 lb, Pet Wellbeing has a specific weight-based dosage chart to follow. The doses range from 1.5 ml for dogs between 30 and 34 lb all the way up to 4.5 ml for dogs 120 lb and over, administered twice daily. Dogs under 30 lb should receive one drop per pound of body weight at each administration.

Q2: How long does a 2 oz bottle of Pet Wellbeing Calming Care last for a dog?

Ans: According to Pet Wellbeing, a 2 oz (59 ml) bottle is approximately a 2-week supply for most dogs up to 50 lb. Larger dogs that require higher doses will go through the bottle more quickly. For longer-term daily use, the manufacturer also offers a 4-oz bottle, which would provide approximately a 4-week supply for most average-sized dogs.

Q3: How is Pet Wellbeing Calming Care for dogs different from Stress Gold for dogs?

Ans: Calming Care is formulated for daily long-term nervous system support, using adaptogens and nervines that work gradually over two to three weeks to help maintain balanced mood and behavior. Stress Gold, by contrast, is designed for occasional moments of heightened situational stress, such as travel or vet visits, using different nervine herbs,s including Valerian and Lemon Balm for more immediate situational support.

Q4: Can Pet Wellbeing Calming Care help a dog with separation anxiety specifically?

Ans: According to Pet Wellbeing, Calming Care is designed to help dogs handle everyday stressors,s including separation, as well as travel, routine changes, and other environmental triggers. The formula supports the nervous system to help dogs respond more calmly to stressful situations over time with consistent daily use, rather than providing immediate situational relief.

Q5: Is Pet Wellbeing Calming Care safe to use with other Pet Wellbeing supplements for dogs?

Ans: Pet Wellbeing states that their supplements may generally be used together, though each product has its own specific cautions regarding certain medications or health conditions. They advise not using more than four supplements concurrently. A veterinarian should be consulted before combining Calming Care with other supplements, particularly if the dog is already on prescription medications.

Q6: Does Pet Wellbeing Calming Care for dogs contain the same formula as the cat version?

Ans: Yes, the formulas for dogs and cats use the same active herbal blend of Ashwagandha root, Wild Oat seed, Holy Basil leaf, Eleuthero root, Rhodiola root, Bacopa herb, Skullcap herb, and St. John's Wort at 567 mg per ml. The key difference is the dosage chart, which is weight-specific for dogs and includes higher ml amounts for larger breeds compared to the cat version.

Q7: What lifestyle factors does Pet Wellbeing recommend alongside Calming Care for anxious dogs?

Ans: According to the manufacturer, herbal supplementation works best alongside a broader approach to canine wellness. Alongside Calming Care, they recommend looking at diet and nutrition, regular exercise and play, minimizing stressful triggers in the environment, and making sure the dog's nutritional foundation is solid. For dogs on prescription medications, speaking with a veterinarian about potential nutrient depletion is also advised.
