Calming & Stress Relief

Boops Calming is a soft chew that helps take the edge off your dog's stress so they can settle — whether it's a thunderstorm, fireworks, travel, a vet visit, time alone, or just everyday nervous energy. It blends calming botanicals and nutrients dogs respond well to: clinical-grade KSM-66 Ashwagandha — clinically shown in dogs to reduce cortisol and anxiety (Kaur et al., 2022) — alongside L-Theanine and L-Tryptophan to encourage relaxation, soothing Valerian, Chamomile and Passion Flower, plus Magnesium, Ginger, and a touch of Melatonin to help the body wind down.

Every batch is made in the USA in an FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facility, independently third-party tested, and NASC-certified — with no corn, soy, or artificial fillers. Think of it as gentle support that helps your dog feel more like their relaxed, happy self.

Both — and that's one of the things we love about it. For predictable stressors like storms, fireworks, car rides, or a vet appointment, you can give it as a single situational dose ahead of time. For dogs who carry anxiety most days, you can give it daily as ongoing support, since ingredients like KSM-66 Ashwagandha tend to work even better when they build up steadily — and your label has weight-based directions for both.

For situational stress, most dogs feel the effects within about 30 to 90 minutes, with calming support generally lasting a few hours — which is why we suggest timing a dose ahead of a known stressor. If you're using it daily for everyday anxiety, you'll often notice the biggest, steadiest difference after a few weeks of consistent use as the Ashwagandha builds up — in a canine study, KSM-66 Ashwagandha was shown to reduce anxiety in about 4 weeks (Kaur et al., 2022). Every dog is a little different, so give it a fair, consistent run before judging the results.

Give the situational dose about 30 to 90 minutes before the stressful event, so it has time to take effect before the storm rolls in or you load up the car. The right amount is based on your dog's weight, and the exact serving is printed right on your label, so there's no guesswork. If a stressful stretch runs long, just follow the label's guidance on repeat dosing rather than doubling up all at once.

This is the question we hear most, and here's the reassuring part: Boops Calming is formulated to help your dog feel calm and still like themselves — not knocked out or dopey. Ingredients like L-Theanine promote relaxation without heavy sedation, and our lead ingredient, clinical-grade KSM-66 Ashwagandha, is clinically proven in a canine study to reduce stress: in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Kaur et al., 2022, Journal of Veterinary Behavior), dogs showed a 21.6% reduction in cortisol and a 19.5% reduction in fear and anxiety. It's formulated for daily use, but because ingredients like Melatonin, Valerian, and Ashwagandha can interact with certain medications, we recommend checking with your vet first if your dog is on medication or has a health condition — and it isn't intended for pregnant or lactating dogs.

Most picky dogs take to it happily, because it's a real turkey & beef pot roast flavored soft chew that dogs treat like a high-value snack rather than a pill to be spat out. The soft, chewable texture makes it easy to give, even to dogs who are wise to hidden supplements. And if your dog turns out to be the rare holdout, you're still covered by our 90-day guarantee.

Then you don't pay for it — every Boops product, including Calming, comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee, so you have plenty of time to see how your dog responds across real stressful moments. If you're not happy for any reason, you get your money back, no fuss. You can also cancel your subscription anytime — we'd rather earn your trust than lock you in.
