Product Information
Description
The Relax formulation is designed to nourish and restore the nervous system of a dog that is so stressed or nervy as to be its own worst enemy. This formulation has been regularly fed to clients dogs over a 20 year period in our Clinic, support for many owners and trainers alike.
Retraining your dog to react differently in stressful situations will break the habit but is a great deal simpler if accompanied by nervous system tonics that help to relax your dog so that they are able to respond better to training .
Animal Botanical Canine Relax formula is given initially 3 doses per day and then reduced to 2 or 1 per day as the behaviour improves. The size of the single dose is then reduced slowly to find the minimum dose that maintains the dog in a calm and reasonable frame of mind.
Animal Botanical™ Relax formulation contains some of the most reliable and traditionally used herbs for reducing physical nervous tension and anxiety.
How do I use it?
• Small dog < 5 kilos: provide 3-5 drops twice daily on or within feed
• Medium dog < 25 kilos: provide 5-15 drops twice daily on or within feed
• Large dog > 25 kilos : provide 15-30 drops twice daily on or within feed

Aided with epileptic brain activity
McDowells are working with me to help my labrador retriever with epileptic seizures. She is on Epilepsy Mix but we needed to go a step further and work on brain activity as she was having muscle twitches. The difference isn't just in easing the brain activity - which it has done excellently. I'm also now able to clip her nails while she lies quietly beside me on the couch. This is unheard of for our girl. It' taken a few weeks to get to this point but the difference is striking. Relax mix does not make her sleep more or appear in any way different to her normal self but has done exactly what we needed and eased away the brain activity that was causing the twitching on her body.

Previous treatment for thunder angst. Recent treatment for travel angst and sickness
I have used Relax on my GSP and old rehomed Lab for several years. After a 3 week regime both dogs improved dramatically. My sceptical husband was amazed at the difference even after the first dose! We then gradually reduced it, giving only during thundery weather.
I have just started using it on my new Lab who we rehomed at one year old and suffered from travel sickness. With advice from the herbalist on a regime and the use of relax we are now travelling 40 mins down the mountains with no sickness or drooling! We are both very happy!!

Great Tonic
This tonic is really settled my 5 year old rescue boy. He was so frightened and unsure of himself, but after using this, he has settled and is calm. I had him for 3 months before I tried the tonic, so feel that it took him a while to get used to me and our house, but since having him on this, he has really calmed right down.......

Happy with result
My Dog was sensitive to certain noises. Now she is a lot calmer and those noises that bothered her no longer do. It took about a week before we noticed changes. It didn't stop her from being her usual switched on self it just took the edge off and made her less likely to be concerned about those certain noises.

Anxious 3 year od ACD after being adopted
The product may be too strong! She is sometimes too relaxed, and I would like her to have the energy to enjoy life!

Brilliant Product!
My youngest Border Collie had a doggy breakdown after being traumatised 3 times in 6 months by other dogs and went from a top obedience dog to crouching, scared and depressed on her mat at home. After 6 weeks on Relax, she's back to happy at home and is enjoying her daily runs again and managed a few minutes heel work away from home for the first time in a few months. She still has a long way to get back to competition trialing but this has made an massive difference for her and I will never be without it in the house as a supplement for any of my dogs if needed. Brilliant stuff!

Definitely works on my highly strung Maltese X
Harry is becoming more reactive as he ages, probably because he can't see so well nowadays and is pretty much night blind. I bought these hoping they would help as the Allergy drops helps one of the other dogs so well.
At first I didn't think they were making any difference - until grooming day, when I popped him up on the table for a brush and comb through, teeth clean and to check his ears/nails. Usually he starts to tremble the second his little feet hit the table (I assure you I've NEVER hurt him or lost my temper with him EVER); but miraculously he just sat there and let me get on with it. At one point he literally keeled over and went to sleep! These drops will be a staple in my fridge from now until little Harry leaves us completely.Thank you for making his last months/years less stressful :)

Works well to ease anxiety
My old boy started using this mixture as he was getting anxious and showing some signs of potential doggy dementia. It has greatly helped reduce his anxiety. Recommended.

Calmer dog, happier household
My four-year-old Belgian Shepherd has always been anxious. She has recently started reacting to the slightest sound outside, leaping up and barking hysterically and unable to calm. What was worse is that every time she'd bark, she'd start off my other dog, and they'd keep each other going endlessly. All the counter-conditioning training and tricks were getting me nowhere on their own. Within a week of being on Relax, she no longer responds to every noise outside - some she sleeps through, others she registers but decides she doesn't need to deal with. She is still fearful of thunder and noises that are too loud will still rouse her, but mostly it's a much calmer and peaceful household, and I have more chance to get on with the training now that she's generally able to manage far better.
