FOTD DOG BEHAVIOUR SPRAYS - GENERAL ANXIETY
The General Anxiety is a 'must have' for your First Aid Box for your dogs. You cannot believe how a single spray can lessen the stress and help a dog to cope. See our suggested behaviour modifications below for additional assistance.
We often do not realize how much our own emotions and the events happening in our lives can affect our dogs, often very profoundly. Prevention is always better than cure, and a few sprays can greatly help your dog to relax.
Some examples where the General Anxiety Spray would be helpful:
This spray can be used on a daily basis if you have a dog that tends to be a little nervy and as the sprays are cumulative, the more often you use the better.
Alternatively if you have a dog that may be nervous of going to the vet, then spray in the morning and just before you go to the vet and you can even spray inside the car – you can even spray a day or two before the stressful event. If your dogs stress is excessive, then rather consider the Extrmee Anxiety instead, as this has been specially formulated for dogs with excessive stress
When you receive your spray, it will be in a dark coloured bottle with a sealed top. To use, open the top, remove the stopper and insert the spray attachment. Keep the bottle out of the sunlight and should you not be using for a period of time - then replace the sealed cap to avoid evaporation.
There are two methods to apply:

There are two methods to apply:
- Spray onto your own hands and then stroke over your dogs face, avoiding the eyes. This will allow the spray to be efficiently absorbed by the olfactory system. The highly volatile molecules are absorbed through the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes and mouth from where they are dispersed. The anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects of numerous organic extracts are well-documented and are now being explored to a far greater degree.0
- You can spray above the dog’s head and allow the mist to drift down onto the dogs face.The spray is totally natural and safe, even around children and pregnant ladies. It is best not to spray directly onto the dog's coat, especially if your dog is one of the albino breeds where skin can be more sensitive.
