Section 1 Covers

It answers the questions that most dog owners ask weeks or months before they actually start looking for help: what anxiety actually is, how to recognise it in your own dog and why your dog’s behaviour can seem inconsistent, disproportionate or impossible to predict on any given day.

Understand more

Understanding these things doesn’t resolve anxiety but it changes the relationship between you and your dog in a way that makes everything that follows possible.

My dog absolutely loves this peanut butter! The moment I take the jar out, his tail starts wagging with excitement. The texture is perfect for spreading on lick mats, stuffing into toys, or using as a training reward. I also appreciate that it's made specifically for dogs, so I don't have to worry about harmful ingredients like xylitol. It's become a great way to keep my dog entertained and mentally stimulated, especially during grooming or bath time. The quality is excellent, it smells great, and a little goes a long way. If you're looking for a healthy, tasty treat that your dog will adore, I highly recommend this peanut butter. It's definitely a staple in our house now!

Excellent product - my dogs love them and the best is that this has really reduced anxiety when I have to leave them at home for a bit. The suction caps at the back are helpful for enabling the pad to be fixed on tiles/windows providing a distraction during bath-time or travel in the car, both where my dog is anxious. Quality is excellent compared to others I have purchased before, which came with no suction caps.
