A Different Kind of Anxiety Needs a Different Kind of Support

Many pet parents reach for calming chews, CBD, or quick fixes because that’s what’s familiar — and sometimes those tools really help in the moment. But when a pet feels anxious every day, it’s no longer just a moment. It’s a pattern.

Instead of trying to solve anxiety overnight, it helps to slow down and observe. What triggers them? How do they recover from stress? What helps them feel safe and regulated?

Those small, steady choices matter — and Calm Shen™ is one way to support that day-to-day emotional balance. It doesn’t sedate or override personality. It simply helps anxious pets feel more settled in their world over time.

On especially tough days, July Third™ can step in with additional short-term support.

For Constant, Daily Anxiety

Helps pets who seem nervous, unsettled, or “buzzing” with worry most days.

For Destructive Behavior Caused By Anxiety

Helps ease the internal tension behind chewing, pacing, escape attempts, and other anxious habits.

For Separation Anxiety

Supports steadier emotions in pets who panic when left alone.

For Environmental Stressors

Gives pets a calmer baseline to handle guests, noises, schedule changes, or new environments.

For Calming Without Drowsiness

Gently encourages emotional balance without dulling personality or energy.

For Excessive Barking Caused by Anxiety

Helps quiet the anxious energy behind reactive barking at sounds, strangers, or triggers.

Which Type of Anxiety Does Your Pet Have?

Some pets aren’t just anxious in stressful moments, they live in it. Calm Shen™ supports day-to-day emotional balance and can be used alongside short-term calming support when needed.

Pacing, panting, trembling
Won't settle; glued to your side

BEST SUPPORT July Third™ for right-now relief Calm Shen™ can help if these
moments happen often

Behavioral Anxiety

Fear built from past experiences, training issues, or specific triggers.

Reactivity on walks
Trigger-specific barking
Slow to recover after stress

reactivity over time

Perpetual Anxiety

For pets who wake up anxious, go to bed anxious, and worry about everything in between.

Always "on," hyperaware
Emotional highs & lows all day
Restless, clingy, can't self-soothe
Overthinking the world around them

How to Feed

You can sprinkle the recommended amount right over every meal.
You can feed it as a treat– scoop the proper dosage into a small meat patty and roll it up, mix the powder with a small amount of cottage cheese and serve.
You can put the recommended scoop into an ice cube tray, add water or broth, and freeze. Give twice a day.

Why Give it Every Day? Ongoing anxiety is a pattern, not a moment — and patterns change with consistency.

Calm Shen™ builds gradually in the system to help smooth emotional highs and lows, support calmer behavior, and improve coping over time. Consistent daily use is what allows those shifts to happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Questions

My dog has long barking spells. Is Calm Shen right for him?

It might be. Excessive barking can be fear-driven or rooted in anxiety. If you’ve ruled out boredom, normal alert barking, or a naturally vocal breed, those long barking bursts may be tied to ongoing anxiety — exactly what Calm Shen™ supports.

Is Calm Shen safe to use with CBD or July Third™?

Yes. Calm Shen™ works gradually to support emotional balance, while CBD or July Third™ offer immediate calming for out-of-the-ordinary stressors. Think of Calm Shen as the daily foundation and CBD/July Third as the in-the-moment assist.

Is Calm Shen safe for long-term use?

Absolutely. Calm Shen™ is meant to be fed daily and can be used for your pet’s entire life if needed.

When will I see results?

Calm Shen™ works slowly and steadily — that’s the beauty of herbal support. - 4–6 weeks: subtle shifts (a calmer morning, fewer pacing episodes) - 2–3 months: clearer differences in reactivity and coping - 6+ months: many pet parents tell us, “I can’t believe this is the same dog.” It never sedates and never changes personality — it simply smooths the emotional highs and lows. Every dog’s story is different, and prescription options (like fluoxetine or clomipramine) still have an important place. Calm Shen™ is a natural alternative that supports the emotional side of anxiety from a different angle.

Will Calm Shen make my pet sleepy?

No. Calm Shen™ is calming, not sedating. Your pet stays alert, engaged, and fully themselves.

Can cats use Calm Shen too?

Yes — Calm Shen™ is formulated for both dogs and cats experiencing ongoing anxiety.
