"I love PAWD Calming because several of my clients have used it long term for their anxious dogs with great results. It contains Melissa (lemon balm) and Passionflower, both known to support the nervous system and promote relaxation. It helps ease general, travel, and social anxiety. As a natural supplement, its benefits build gradually, providing sustained calming effects."

Expert Knowledge
5 Types of Dog Anxiety We Help With
Understanding your dog's specific anxiety type is the first step to helping them feel calm and confident again.
Separation Anxiety
One of the most common forms of dog anxiety. When left alone, dogs experience genuine distress, not just boredom. Their nervous system shifts into a stress response, even when the absence is brief.
🔍 Root Cause
Attachment to owner and unpredictable routine.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Destructive behaviour, howling, pacing, accidents indoors.
📊 Impact
Chronic stress, owner guilt, damage to home.
💡How PAWD Helps: PAWD Calming supports the nervous system so your dog stays calmer in the moments you have to leave, reducing the stress spike that triggers the behaviour.
Noise Anxiety
Dogs hear at roughly four times the frequency range of humans. What feels loud to us is overwhelming to them. Fireworks, thunder, and sudden bangs can trigger a full fight-or-flight response in seconds.
🔍 Root Cause
Heightened canine hearing and perceived threat from sound.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Trembling, hiding, panting, clinging, trying to escape.
📊 Impact
Injury risk if they bolt, prolonged stress after the event.
💡How PAWD Helps: PAWD Calming helps blunt the nervous system's reaction to sudden sounds, so the response is less extreme and your dog recovers more quickly.
Travel Anxiety
Car journeys expose dogs to an unfamiliar combination of motion, confinement, engine noise, and unpredictability.
🔍 Root Cause
Motion discomfort, confined space, and unknown destination.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Whining, drooling, vomiting, restlessness in the car.
📊 Impact
Avoidance of vet visits, missed experiences, owner stress.
💡How PAWD Helps: A calmer nervous system before travel reduces the anticipatory stress that often makes the journey worse than it needs to be.
Social Anxiety
Not every dog is naturally social. Unfamiliar people, other dogs, or busy environments can activate an anxious response. This is often misread as aggression, when it is actually fear.
🔍 Root Cause
Limited early socialisation or past negative experiences.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Growling, cowering, lunging, excessive barking at strangers.
📊 Impact
Restricted lifestyle, relationship strain, difficult walks.
💡How PAWD Helps: Reducing baseline anxiety gives dogs more capacity to process new encounters without tipping into fear-based reactions.
Excessive Barking
Persistent barking is rarely about habit alone. In most cases it is a symptom of an underlying anxiety state.
🔍 Root Cause
High baseline stress and a reactive nervous system.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Barking at triggers, barking when alone, barking without obvious cause.
📊 Impact
Neighbour complaints, owner frustration, dog exhaustion.
💡How PAWD Helps: When the nervous system is better regulated, the threshold for reactive barking rises. Dogs still bark, but the hair-trigger response softens noticeably.

What's Inside
Every ingredient in PAWD Calming was chosen for one reason: evidence. Here's what's inside and why it works.
Active Ingredients
Passionflower
Passiflora incarnata
Passionflower
Passiflora incarnata
Role: The formula's primary calming agent, working directly on the brain's anxiety pathways.
Mechanism: Passionflower increases GABA activity in the brain, reducing the neural overactivity that drives anxious behaviour. It also inhibits the breakdown of serotonin and dopamine, keeping mood-regulating neurotransmitters at healthy levels.
What this means for your dog: A quieter nervous system. Less reactive to triggers. Calmer in situations that would normally cause distress, without sedation or drowsiness.
Used in peer-reviewed anxiety research across both human and veterinary studies.
Lemon Balm
Melissa officinalis
Lemon Balm
Melissa officinalis
Role: Supports and extends passionflower's calming effect through a complementary mechanism.
Mechanism: Lemon balm inhibits GABA transaminase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down GABA in the brain. By slowing that breakdown, it helps maintain calm neural activity for longer.
What this means for your dog: Sustained calm rather than a brief window of effect. Better behavioural scores in real dogs, measured in a real study.
Clinically studied in dogs specifically. RELISSA, the branded lemon balm extract, is used in professional veterinary formulations.
Natural Flavouring
▸ Yeast Extract
Role: The reason your dog actually wants to drink it.
A natural, animal-free flavouring derived from baker's yeast. It gives PAWD Calming a savoury, meaty taste that dogs find genuinely palatable. No artificial flavours, no sweeteners.
In independent trials with 31 dog professionals, 93% of dogs enjoyed the taste of PAWD Calming.
▸ Why do natural supplements work?
The science behind plant-based calming is more robust than most people expect.
Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) works by increasing levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that reduces neuronal excitability. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) contains rosmarinic acid, which inhibits the enzyme that breaks down GABA, amplifying and extending the calming response. Studies show measurable reductions in cortisol and heart rate within 60 minutes. Neither ingredient is sedative. Dogs remain alert, responsive, and themselves.
▸ Why does it take up to 3 months?
This is the question we get asked most, and the honest answer is rooted in how the brain actually works.
Natural supplements work by supporting and gradually rebalancing the nervous system. Most customers notice meaningful change within 2 to 4 weeks. Full neurological benefit is typically seen at the 8 to 12 week mark. Vets consistently recommend a minimum of 3 months of daily use before assessing full efficacy.
✓ Two active ingredients
✓ One natural flavouring
✓ No artificial anything

Why We Started PAWD
We know exactly what it feels like to watch your dog struggle with anxiety and feel completely powerless. The pills hidden in food. The products that promised everything and delivered nothing. The vet bills. The guilt every time you left the house.
We started PAWD because we believed there had to be a better way — something natural, genuinely effective, and simple enough to use every single day.
It took us two years to get the formula right. We tested it on hundreds of dogs. We had it reviewed and approved by practising vets. And we built a money-back guarantee into it from day one — because we only want customers whose dogs are genuinely getting better.
That's still what drives every decision we make.
— Rory & Archie, Co-Founders
