Calming Pets

I have an extremely damaged rescue pup who we adopted in 2017. She came to us with severe anxiety due to being beaten, abused and neglected for the first 8 months of her life. We had multiple trainers and behaviourists assess her and resulted in medicating her to try and calm her down.

About 6 months ago I came across weighted blankets and figured it couldn't hurt to try something else to ease her anxiety and this by far was the best thing we have EVER bought for her!

Some nights she would be uncontrollable even with medication, she would be unsettled, nervous and frantic. It could take hours to get her to sleep, settle or just keep still.

Now, she is calm and settles within seconds of the blanket being put over her!! It is now a part of her regular routine and she will alert me when she needs it during the day and waits to be covered in it every night!!!

Hands down worth every single cent! We have had the most success for using this blanket than we had with medicines!

I would highly recommend to anyone struggling with anxious pets.

HOW TO CALM YOUR DOG WITHOUT MEDICATION

Here are 5 easy ways that you can use a Calming Pets' weighted blanket for a dog to help relieve your fur baby's stress and anxiety.



1. Create a safe place for them
Make one special place where they know they are safe. This could be their basket or bed, a corner of the kitchen, a crate (if you use one) or any secluded, quiet spot.

Put the weighted blanket in the safe place, as well as any other things they find calming, such as chew toys.



2. Put the weighted blanket over them
Cover their bodies with the weighted blanket. The weighted blanket has a number of same-size pockets, which each contain an even weight of glass beads. This means that the calming weight that presses down on your dog's body is evenly distributed over the whole body.

In the beginning, your dog may not like the blanket. But if you persist, most will come to seek out their blankets as they realise it can remove their panicked feelings.



3. Stroke and pet them while they get used to it
You are your dog's safe place. It really helps them get used to using the weighted blanket if you pet and stroke them for a few minutes while they quiet down and let the soothing Deep Pressure Touch work on their central nervous systems.



4. Take it with you
If you know that your dog gets stressed by certain situations - such as travelling in the car or visiting the vet - then take your Calming Pets' weighted blanket with you.

The micro glass beads mean that it folds up in a compact way, so it won't take up too much space if you don't use it.



5. Make it available 24/7
Lastly, let your dog be able to go and crawl under it any time they like. Leave it in their favourite place - or the safe spot you created for them if you followed our first suggestion.

Here is one lovely review about how Calming Pets' weighted blankets for dogs helped one rescue dog recover from PTSD.

We have a 3 year old rescue male Rottweiler who we adopted 18 months ago. He came to us with severe anxiety. We tried everything to help him overcome this!!

A friend suggested a weighted blanket. Since we bought it he has been a different doggie!!

He asks for us to put it on him at bedtime. It has worked wonders for storms and any other loud noises like tradies working in the area. We got a 5kg minky and cotton one!

Thank you Calming Pets for helping my furbaby.

Dogs. We all love them - but we also know that we need to clean up after them. Especially if they have been sick.

Calming Pets' weighted blankets are easy to wash. Just pop it into your washing machine (if your machine can take the weight. If the blanket is too heavy for your machine, please take it to a laundromat where the industrial machines can.)

Separate any dark colours and wash your dog's weighted blanket on cold, gentle cycle.

Once the washing cycle is complete, please take it out the machine and hang it or dry it flat.

Please don't wring or tumble dry.

The care instructions are also on the reverse side of the Calming Pets' label.

Any question, please e-mail [email protected].

If you've ever owned a rescue dog, then you'll know that they are often extremely special souls that steal part of your heart.

But you'll also know that they often move into you - hopefully their forever - home with a lot of baggage.

And you have to guess what that baggage is, because they can't tell you.

But you can and do guess:

If they're malnourished, with sores all over their bodies, then you'll guess they were seriously neglected.
If they shake and p*e all over the floor if you raise your hand, then you'll guess they were abused.
If they are terrified of raised voices, then you'll guess they were shouted at - and maybe physically abused.

And all this unknown baggage, together with the fact that they were abandoned or lost, means that there is a reasonably high possibility of doggie depression or anxiety. They may also have chronic insomnia because of the mental stress.


You don't have to use sedatives to treat doggo anxiety
And if you are reluctant to use medication or sedatives, then perhaps consider whether a Calming Pets' weighted blanket could help.
