<\/span><\/p>\n It can be challenging living with a dog that just won\u2019t relax. Some dogs are anxious, and can become stressed if there are any changes to their daily routine. Other dogs are like children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and just don\u2019t seem to be able to calm down.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s important that you make sure there aren\u2019t any medical or behavioral reasons for your dog being fidgety. Perhaps he has arthritis<\/a>, and sitting still for any length of time is uncomfortable. If so, he will benefit greatly from the pain relieving effects of Joint Resolution<\/a>. Perhaps he is a high energy dog and just isn\u2019t getting the physical and mental stimulation he needs. In this case, you need to exercise him more, and give him opportunities to use his brain, such as obedience training or trick training.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you have dealt with such issues, and your dog still won\u2019t settle, you may feel you have run out of options.\u00a0 <\/span>Fortunately, there are natural treatments which will calm an unsettled dog <\/a>and make life a lot more relaxing for him and for you. However, how do you choose the best treatment for your dog?<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Commonly Used Natural Remedies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Two popular treatments for restlessness and agitation in dogs are Rescue Remedy <\/a>and Sleepytime Tonic<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Rescue Remedy\u00a0contains a very small amount of flower material in a 50:50 solution of water and brandy<\/span><\/a>. These essences\u00a0 were created by\u00a0\u00a0Edward Bach in the 1930’s. Each essence, or remedy, is directed at a specific spiritual or emotional problem such as grief, shock or a visit to the vet. They are completely non-toxic and very safe to give your dog at any time.\u00a0\u00a0According to users of Rescue Remedy the product works because it\u00a0contains the\u00a0“energetic<\/span><\/a>” nature of the flower and that this can be transmitted to the user,<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sleepytime Tonic<\/a> was formulated by Robert McDowell, who is considered to be the world’s leading authority on using western herbal medicines to treat illness in our dogs. It too contains flower essences, but they are carefully combined with other ingredients which have similar effects. Herbs such as Valerian, passion flower, vervain\u00a0and Skullcap are natural calming agent, and are well known to reduce anxiety and restlessness. There are no side effects to using Sleepytime Tonic\u00a0 and its natural honey flavor means that dogs are only too happy to swallow it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Choices, Choices…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Given that both Rescue Remedy<\/a> and Sleepytime Tonic<\/a>\u00a0are both effective in reducing stress and calming an unsettled dog, is there any advantage to using one over the other?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Arguments in favour of Sleepytime Tonic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n D<\/span>oes not contain any alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n contains Bach Flower essences, as does Rescue Remedy. However, its combination of calming herbs means that it works in two ways: the flower essences help soothe your dog’s emotions, and the herbs will physically relax him and help him calm down. <\/span><\/p>\n Product does not just rely on the \u201cenergetic\u201d nature of flower essences. Rather, the percentage of the herbs in the formula is significant enough to effect a change.<\/span><\/p>\n The product is larger for less money\u00a0 <\/span>($13 for 1 fl. oz vs $15 for .35 fl oz)<\/span><\/p>\n What do you have to say?
