Natural Ingredients That Promote Calmness

The magic of peanut butter for dogs comes from its blend of natural, soothing ingredients. Here's what goes into making it so effective:

 

  • CBD (Cannabidiol). Interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) and promotes relaxation to help ease anxious thoughts and nervous behaviors.
  • L-Theanine. An amino acid that promotes calming neurotransmitters like serotonin to help your dog feel more at ease.
  • Chamomile. Contains compounds that help relax muscles and soothe nerves.
  • Lemon Balm. Combined with other ingredients or on its own, lemon balm may help reduce agitation in nervous dogs.
  • Natural Peanut Oil. Adds to the flavor while providing healthy fats that promote overall wellness.

 

The Role of CBD and Other Calming Compounds

CBD works with your dog's endocannabinoid system to promote relaxation and calmness. It helps support balanced moods and comfort and eases negative thoughts.

 

Alongside CBD, other calming heroes like chamomile and L-theanine step in to amplify the effect. This mix of natural ingredients helps dogs stay cool and collected no matter the situation.
