The Best Herbal Remedies for Managing Your Dogs Behaviour

Archaeological studies have in fact found evidence that the practice of herbal medicine dates back as far as 60,000 years. Plush Puppy understands the remedial properties herbal essences can have. That's why it offers an assortment of herbal products for dogs.

Find out how our specially formulated herbal remedies for nervous dogs can help with certain doggy behaviour issues.

Why You Should Use Flower Essence for Dogs

Plush Puppy has created a range of Flower Essence Drops designed to help induce certain kinds of behaviour in your dog. Carefully researched, these herbal products for dogs can help to keep your pet calmer.

They're especially useful if your pet's prone to get anxious in certain situations. They can also help give a boost to your dog's energy levels.

Our Flower Essence Drops offer an alternative approach to combatting negative behaviour in your dog. They act as an additional string to your bow during difficult or challenging times.

Whether it's a trip to the vet that has your dog upset or moments of overexcitement, Flower Essence Drops can help. Additionally, travelling with your dog just got a whole lot easier.

Causes of Anxiety in Dogs

Some breeds of dogs are more prone to suffer from anxiety than others. Researchers ​even claim to have identified anxiety-related genes associated with fearfulness in dogs. Another study found that three-quarters of all dogs display at least one anxiety-related behaviour.

Noise sensitivity is one of the most common causes of anxiety across all breeds. Fireworks and thunder are often the culprits, especially when it comes to older dogs.

Our Apprehension Flower Essence product infuses natural goodness to reduce anxiety and calm your dog down. It contains ingredients that include Fuchsia, Lavender and a whole host of other herbal essences.

The combination of these ingredients can help calm your dog in situations they may find hard to deal with. These include:

• The introduction of a new pet
• Meeting other dogs
• A visit to see the vet
• Moving into a new home
• Travelling in a car or on a plane
• The moment you leave home and will leave the dog for several hours

How to Treat Separation Anxiety in Dogs

Some dogs appear to suffer more from separation anxiety than others. Labradors, for example, may be one of the most popular dog breeds among Australian families. They typically have a relaxed disposition yet are prone to anxiety.

It's perhaps because they are so social that they can sometimes struggle if left alone for long periods of time.

Plush Puppy Apprehension Flower Essence drops are your must-have solution for these kinds of moments. These drops have the power to restore calm and lower nervous energy levels.

The lavender found in our product has certain properties including Linalool. There's scientific proof that it induces stress-relieving effects on the brain. Lavender also has a sedative effect for better sleep and to calm restlessness. Apprehension Essence contains Fuchsia too. This plant can also have a relaxing effect on the body.

Understanding how to treat separation anxiety in dogs includes taking a holistic approach. Our Apprehension Flower Essence is great for dogs that are highly sensitive, emotionally drained or easily affected by change.

You're Kidding! Dogs Really Shed Tears?

Yes, they do, according to a recent Japanese study. The study found that dogs can cry tears of joy when they get reunited with their owners.

Dogs may genuinely be ecstatic when they see their human chums after a long period of absence. Those tears may deepen the bond between dogs and their owners.

To test out the theory, researchers placed strips of paper under the dogs' eyes for the study. They compared the results during regular time spent with their owners and a minute before they joined them again. This was after around 6 hours of separation.

They found that the dogs only shed tears when they caught sight of their owners again. There was no increased tear production when the dogs became reunited with people they knew but were not their owners.

Travelling with Your Dog

Motion sickness in dogs is not an unusual issue. More common in younger dogs, it may be partly due to the underdevelopment of parts of the inner ear connected to balance. Puppies tend to outgrow motion sickness by the time they become adults.

Plush Puppy Travel Well Flower Essence Drops are a special blend of natural essences. They can offer support to dogs who suffer from sickness when travelling. There's a relieving mixture of Carnation, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Foxglove, Peony and Magnolia essences that can help restore balance.

Like all the essences in our range, the drops are easy to administer and work well for dogs who get sick, stressed or salivate when travelling.

Treating Hyperactivity in Dogs

Some dogs display frenetic activity and may have abnormally short attention spans. Highly impulsive, they can also become overbearing and attention-seeking. The behaviour can be a canine form of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Plush Puppy Hyperactivity Flower Essence Drops can help. Its unique and relaxing blend of natural essences keeps over-excited and restless dogs calmer. It contains a specially formulated mix of Impatiens, Chamomile, Star of Bethlehem, Pansy, Oak, Lily and Violet essences.

Ideal for use before showtime, it helps with erratic behaviour, over-excitement and restlessness.

Give Your Dog a Vitality Boost

All dogs have those burnout moments. They may be suffering from nervous exhaustion and as a result, lack their usual energy. Plush Puppy Showreviver Flower Essence Drops are there to give your dog's energy levels a boost.

Containing Bluebell, Heather, Marigold, Aspen, Gentian, Clematis and Geranium essences it can help to reinvigorate your dog and motivate them to get going again.
