Deep in the heart, every dog is a guard dog… However, for those less courageous moments, the soft chews in DOG Stress & Behavior can provide a combination of L-theanine and melatonin to soothe and encourage calmness.
Please note that the stress and behavior formula is perfect for dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes. However, it’s not suitable for dogs under 1 year old.
The science behind the product:
The amino acid L-theanine
Green tea is renowned for its ability to soothing and relaxation-inducing properties. L-theanine is the amino acid present in green tea thought to be responsible for its calming effects. (1,2)
However, that doesn’t mean you should brew your dog a cup! Instead, Life Extension® added calming L-theanine to DOG Stress & Behavior.
The hormone melatonin
People use melatonin for various reasons. However, not many are aware that it's a naturally produced hormone that helps encourage calmness and relaxation in our canine companions. (3)
That’s why melatonin is included in the soft chews of DOG Stress & Behavior.
