Will Shen Calmer Help Your Dog?

Shen Calmer just might help your dog’s anxiety and stress.

Holistic pet parents seek natural ways to soothe their pets’ ailments.

Sometimes pets are physically healthy but emotionally unwell.

Anxious or depressed dogs need care the same way a physically ill pup would.

How do you know your pup is anxious? 

How do veterinarians treat dog anxiety holistically?

Dog Anxiety Symptoms

Anxious dogs exhibit the following symptoms:

  • Tucked tail
  • Self-licking and biting
  • Diarrhea
  • Escape behavior or hiding
  • Withdrawal or reduced activity
  • Trembling and nervousness

Take your pup to your local TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) veterinarian for a full evaluation and diagnoses.

How a TCVM Vet Diagnoses Dog Anxiety

Your TCVM will look for different symptoms than a traditional vet.

For example, a TCVM vet will specifically check for:

  • Thin, fast pulse
  • Red, dry tongue
  • Restlessness or nervousness
  • Insomnia

Your TCVM vet may recommend Shen Calmer.

Pheromonatherapy is another holistic remedy for dog anxiety. 

How Shen Calmer Soothes Anxious Dogs

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, stress causes stagnation of Liver Qi.

Liver Qi stagnation eventually becomes fire, consuming Heart Yin and disturbing Shen (spirit).

Disturbed Shen results in anxiety and restlessness.

TCVM practitioners soothe disturbed Shen by nourishing Heart Yin and cooling Fire.

The herbal remedy Shen Calmer helps anxious pets by:

  • Calming Shen
  • Nourishing Blood and Heart Yin
  • Soothing Liver Qi
