Spirited Paw, a brand of pet nutraceuticals made by Standard Process,  recently launched Calm, a formula for dogs and cats designed to provide relief from occasional anxiousness and improve mood.

Separation anxiety, stressful situations, unfamiliar environments, grooming and vet visits, and other occasions might be a suitable time for stress/mood support solutions for a pet, the company noted.

Spirited Paw contains science-backed ingredients, and plant-based nutrients sourced from Standard Process’ 868-acre USDA certified organic farm.

“These wafers are a great and effective supplement to help enhance your pet’s relaxation regimen,” says Katrina Verdeur, MS, product development manager for pet products at Standard Process. “Starting with active doses of L-theanine, L-tryptophan, and magnesium, then adding chamomile extract, ginger, kalette, apple and liver powders, this product was designed to support calming with effective, friendly ingredients.”

L-theanine has been clinically studied in both cats and dogs, while L-tryptophan has been studied in dogs, and all studies showed favorable results in promoting calm behavior. Marine-derived magnesium can also promote a healthy stress response, the company reported.
