I hope some one lets us know....I was thinking I'll try some Kava Kava or St Johns wort for my dogs anxiety....works for me...
St John's and Kava can have very dangerous interactions with other drugs and substances. Kava is very controversial and has caused complete liver failure even with short term use. The NIH reports that damage can happen in mere weeks and has required transplant to treat. It's use for dogs, who can't tell you they feel symptoms is unwise.
Instead of giving your dog some Clonazepam, why don't you try Excel Calming Tablets? I am sure it is better for your dog's health since it's all natural and it calms your dog in any stressful situation. It can be purchased at EZPetsMart.com by clicking on the related link.

If you use it directly on him, it isn't the best thing for him. However, I wash my dog with natural lavender soap from lavendersoap.org which has lavender and chamomile essential oil in it (depending on which soap you buy) and not only dpoes he smell great, it is calming for him and the house smells great after too!
Yes, but like with humans you need to be careful about allergic reactions. There are many excellent books on herbal remedies for cats, dogs and even farm animals.
Using a hand to stroke a cat, dog or rabbit, is reputed to have a calming affect on a human.
dogs enjoy calming music and metal/rock makes them upset
Never use a tranquilizer for humans, you may consult a Veterinary doctor or give him some calming tea as chamomile.
No, and in many cases trying to give your dogs herbs or natural remedies for what appears to be an upset stomach can make the situation worse. If your dog is vomiting or is not eating with his usual appetite, the best choice is to take him/her to your veterinarian for an examination.
One natural allergy Relief is to use Herbs. Herbs can be used topically to alleviate symptoms such as itching. Topically, oat can be used to easy itchy skin. Give your dog oat baths regularly. Boil one pound of organic oat straw in 2 quarts water and add it to you dog's bathwater. You can make a rinse using Yellow Dock. Add one table spoon of the herb to 2 cups boiling water, let it sit and cool down, then strain off the herb and use the liquid as a rinse.
A bigger dog
Yes, but not in large amounts as it might get stuck in their throat or they might get sick.
If the dog wont come near you dont try to go near it. Sit down, talk to it in a calming voice, hold a treat in your hand and the dog will come to you. After try gently patting the dog and dont move fast around it.
No. A dog's natural inclination is to be a carnivore
