A MUST have bed!! 😍
I purchased this bed because I know someone who has it, and their dog absolutely LOVES it. We have 8 dogs ( yes 8 rescues).. and I purchased 1 for our old dog, who I noticed lately keeps sleeping on the floor. I want her to be comfortable and she loves to be warm..so I knew I had to get this bed.Well... ALL our dogs LOVE this bed!!! I’m thankful that Lexi is sharing her bed, but I will definitely be purchasing a couple more. The one in pictures is the medium size and it seems perfect for all... well.. the lab would like a bigger one, lol, so mama going to buy another Large one! A GREAT bed for your dogs.. I posted these pictures on Facebook & come to find out.. many of my friend have this bed.. not sure why I was late to this party.. lol but now our dogs are even happier!I highly suggest this!!

The first step to help your dog deal with anxiety is identifying the cause. There could be a number of reasons why your dog has it and there are 3 types of anxiety in dogs: Separation, shelter, and fear of loud noises (thunder, fireworks, etc).

Do you think your dog might be anxious?

Can Supplements and Calming Treats Help My Dog? 🐶

Suppose your dog has mild to intermediate situational anxiety, and you don’t feel it necessary to treat them. In that case, supplements and calming treats may be an option for you.

Situational anxiety in dogs can include whining, barking at every little noise, cowering, and even urinating out of fear. Naturally, you may feel helpless when these things happen and try comforting your dog, which is a natural response.

Calming treats, but where do you begin? The best place to start is your veterinarian.
These treats may contain:

✅ L-Theanine: These treats help increase serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the central nervous system.
✅ S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe): These treats work by increasing serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine levels in the brain.

When you find a calming treat that you trust for your dog, be sure to combine these treats with behavior modification training, regular exercise, and an open mind.

The bottom line is never giving up hope. You love your dog and want to be able to provide him with a safe, secure, and happy life with you and your family. Ask your vet about supplements and calming treats and help your dog relax, gain his confidence, and live a long and healthy life!

Is your dog experiencing high anxiety such as aggression, fear, over-excitement, and destructive behaviors? 😔

Do you think your dog will never have a good quality of life because they in fear at loud noises, bark and whine, or run and hide from friends and family? 😕

When you believe you’ve tried everything to help your dog’s anxiety, but nothing has worked long term, or their anxiety is genuinely debilitating, maybe it’s time to speak with your veterinarian about medication. Pet's mental health is also important.

Think of it this way.
If your dog was physically sick or injured, wouldn’t you rush them to the veterinarian for help? Of course, you would! You love your dog. They are your family, and you always want what’s best for them. Taking care of their overall health includes helping them overcome their anxiety.

The critical thing to remember is that medication alone is not the cure-all for your dog’s anxiety.

The true benefit of these medications is they allow your dog to relax and focus on you and whatever activity you’re engaging them in, be it play or training. By combining medication with behavior modification, you and your dog will find a way to manage his anxiety and help him relax and enjoy being a dog.
Here are a few of the significant benefits of anxiety medications for your dog:

✅ They can focus better on playtime and training
✅ Their quality of life improves since they aren’t always on edge
✅ Your quality of life improves because you’re not constantly worried about your dog’s behavior
✅ Your dog will become more social and less fearful of people and other dogs

Many people believe their dogs will get better on their own, but the truth is, they most often won’t. The longer anxiety and stress go untreated, the worse it gets.

You provide a wonderful life for your dog. You make sure they have the best food, plenty of toys, and lots of love, but if they cannot go places with you or even just put on a leash and walk around the block, are they truly enjoying the life you’re providing for them?

Give yourself and your dog a chance to really get to know each other by speaking with your veterinarian and, if necessary, seeing what options are available to help you and your dog live the best life possible together.
