Anti-Anxiety Products for Cats and Dogs

The summer can be especially tough on pets and pet parents — and that’s not just because of the heat. Fireworks are a constant nuisance and family trips aren’t always much fun for dogs and cats. To make matters worse, anxiety doesn’t take a vacation once the summer months end. Loud noises and high-stress situations can leave our pets suffering from anxiety all year round.

Chewy’s pet care marketplace features a wide selection of anti-anxiety products including supplements, sprays, and the ubiquitous ThunderShirt. Here are a few customer favorites.

Calming Apparel for Dogs

• ThunderShirt Anxiety & Calming Aid for Dogs: Trusted by dog lovers all over the country, the ThunderShirt is available in several sizes, styles, and colors. Each applies gentle pressure to alleviate anxiety and discourage stress-related behaviors. Dogs will appreciate that the fabric is comfortable and breathable and you’ll love that it’s durable and machine washable.
• Calming Coat for Dogs: Another popular choice, the Calming Coat can help address anxiety associated with thunder, travel, or trips to the vet. It’s available in four different sizes to suit any breed. Check out the variety of colors, too.
