Drugs like Bio Calm. composure or Prozac. Things like Through a Dogs Ears music to calm would be a choice that is less documented not drug based thing that can calm dogs and not cause side effects with additives a dog should not have.
Also thing like T Touch or anxiety wraps work. What about a calming cap.

Do you have links to any of these products. I've have not heard of any of them before. All I'm trying to do is find more information and give my little guy some type of relief. Are BioCal and Composure RXs? Obviously Prozac is a RX and was one of the things that my sister tried on her dog. It made her into a zombie. The oils actual did help so it makes this more confusing.

As for T touch and anxiety wraps which we touched on do you have any type of scientific studies regarding these? What is Calm Cap? Something that goes on their head? Like a hood?
