Smorgasbord Posts from Your Archives 2024 #Potluck – Pet Holiday Anxiety Issues? Pet Copywriter Tricia Perry

Welcome to the series of Posts from Your Archives and I will be sharing posts from the SECOND six months of 2023 from your archives.

This current series is now closed to submissions but there will be a new series to participate in later in the year.

This is the second post by Pet Copywriter Tricia Perry and is about an issue that concerns all pet owners when they leave them behind in someone else’s care or during noisy celebrations in the neighbourhood.

Pet Holiday Anxiety Issues? 

Does your pet have issues with visitors, known or strangers, or loud traffic noises, stormy weather? Do they hide – or show aggression – or shake and shiver – or try to make themselves smaller? Does your fur bud or feathered friend exhibit strange behavior when people come to see you or if they are with you outside their home?

With holidays looming and planning get togethers, the time is here to help your pet buddies loosen up a bit. There are quite a good number of remedies on the market for our pets with anxiety now. I have written about this subject more than once. Do take a look at another post entitled Pet Anxiety Symptoms and Aids

Anxiety Vests

Here is a simple solution for many pets to feel more confident and cared for. See my post story Does your pet suffer from Anxiety

The anxiety vest pictured above is from Healers Pet Care, Vancouver, WA, a great lightweight, breathable, help for your pet baby and all USA-made and sourced. This wrap is also easy on and off and washable. And, if you read my story above, you know how well these vests work to give your pet friend the ‘hug’ they need to feel more self-assured.

CBD Oil, Soft Chews, Treats

You can see my post on CBD from 2022,” Pet CBD Usage Growing

Updates since 2022

Checking back with The Humane Society regarding the use of CBD for our pets, they reiterate that the Hemp and CBD products are safe and do help to reduce pain for our animals. Specifically, they note these products can be effective in “reducing pain, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, and seizures in cats and dogs”. They do caution, however, to check with your vet for using hemp or cbd products for your pet. In fact it is best to check with your vet for the best dosage amount for your pet based on their weight, age, and medical history. And do remember to be sure the product is THC-free or no Marijuana ingredient.

The Veterinary Cannibis Society, who provides education on cannibis usage reports on an article from the FDA.gov in January 2023 indicating “they are considering working with Congress on potential regulatory pathways for CBD products”.

Additional USA-made and Grown CBD Companies

Prospect Farms

I found no new CBD reports on Pet Product News but did on Pet Age about Brooke Shields joining Prospect Farms of Prospect, Maine as their premier marketing person and a board member for their USDA certified organic cbd products for our pets. All is grown and produced from their 400 year old farm in Maine. This company provides calming and mobility drops for both cats and for dogs.

Fab CBD / Nuleaf Naturals

Forbes does show a newer article reporting on ‘the best dog cbd for 2022’. Of those mentioned FabCBD.com of MIlwaukee, Wisconsin provides a THC-free organically grown in Colorado pet hemp oil. And, a second USA CBD player reported is Nuleaf Naturals.com of Denver, Colorado. Nuleaf gives us USA organic hemp products for pets in the form of oil and chews.

Kadenwood / Suzie’s Pet Treats / Charlotte’s Web

Of the three mentioned in my previous post by Discover and Pet Product News, Kadenwood of Newport Beach, California is still going strong in the pet cbd market.

Also Suzie’s Pet Treats.com of Colorado is still listed with USDA certified organic cat cbd bits, dog drops, and dog treats. Their ingredients are all listed on their site.

Last I will mention again is Charlotte’s Web of Colorado. They offer hemp calming chews and oil for dogs in two dosage sizes.

There are quite a large number of companies in this pet cbd market. The only ones I have mentioned or will mention are all USA-made. Not to say there are not more available to you, but these are the ones I have investigated todate.

Other Anxiety Products

For separation anxiety, treat dispensers like those from Soda Pup and treat puzzles from Catamazing and Outwardhound are excellent all USA-made ideas for your fur buds. They even have a similar idea for your feathered friends by HootnHollerBird  of Alabama – a treat table. Any good attention grabbing toy is good to keep your pet friends occupied while you are out.

I hope the above information gives you some good prospects to help your pet with any anxiety issues they may have.

So happy to have you stop by Pet Viewpoint. Do remember to let your friends and family know about us and leave us your comments and suggestions down below on the left. See you next week!
