Calming Brush Spray

Brush Spray featuring Isle of Dogs’ signature scent lavender + lemon balm. In order to prevent hair damage, it’s important to never brush a dry coat. Brush spray helps reduce shedding, static and maintains a silky, healthy coat that stays cleaner, longer. Blended with coconut oil to help improve overall skin and coat condition. Also features ExtenScent, a natural odor-neutralizing complex that extends freshness and keeps dogs smelling better, longer.

Tip: Physical contact can help relieve anxiety, fear, and stress. Take a moment to intentionally engage with your dog. A gentle, all-over brushing with a calming spray is a wonderful way to bond and get some one-on-one time with your nervous pup.

Isle of Dogs Chillout treats are designed to help calm and relieve the stresses in your dog’s life. A gourmet blend of vanilla, lemon balm, and lavender extract are carefully baked into each treat. Recommended for dogs with separation anxiety and tensions caused by changes in daily routines. Many customers report that Chillout treats work wonders during thunderstorms.

Chillout Soft & Chewy Dog Treats

This softer, chewier Chillout treat is designed to help calm and relieve stress just like the original. Whether it be from fireworks, a bad thunderstorm, or separation anxiety, giving your dog Chillout treats on a regular basis helps take the edge off. The lavender, lemon balm, and vanilla in these healthy treats help to soothe your dog and put them at ease.

Tip: Breathe! Dogs are extremely perceptive and pick up on their human’s stress and anxiety. Reacting to your dog’s nervousness in a negative way is counterproductive. Take a moment to check in with your own state of mind and apply some of these calming tips for yourself.
