Non-drowsy calming for anxious dog & a harness that won't rub?

A pheromone collar, such as the Adaptil collar, may help decrease anxiety. Gradual desensitization is also strongly recommended. Calming chews, such as Composure chews (by VetriScience) may help but they are not "magic pills". You will need to modify her behavior. This may require the assistance of a certified trainer.

What natural calming supplements can help my anxious dog stop licking?

Poor Zora! She does sound like a very anxious girl. If you would like to try a natural calming supplement of some kind, I would suggest Zylkene or Composure - both of these are very safe, and I have seen good results with them in some patients. You could also try a DAP pheromone collar as well, to see if this helps :)

Do dogs need extra vitamins if they eat quality dog food? Are herbal calming treats safe for dogs with anxiety? What about Thunderspray?

Dogs on high-quality commercial diets do not need vitamins. Dogs on homecooked diets definitely need to take a vitamin. For the supplements, I'm not familiar with Pet Natural Vermont Calm specifically but the ingredients look ok. It's true that they are not regulated, so we have to go on company reputation. The ones I know and recommend are Zylkene (different supplement) and Composure (same supplement as the Vermont ones). I like and trust the company that makes Thunderspray, so if it's helping then stick with it. The pheromone product that I'm most familiar with and feel does help is called Adaptil. I hope that all helps!

What food or supplements help my dog's leash anxiety and barking?

Hi there. You could try a daily natural calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure, if you want to. An Adaptil pheromone collar can also be helpful for mild anxiety issues. If these things don't help, you may want to consider seeing a veterinary behaviorist to discuss a more comprehensive treatment plan for her anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed. You can search for one in your area here: www.dacvb.org

What calming treats for my dog's anxiety before car rides or vet?

A pheromone collar, such as the Adaptil collar, may be of benefit. Rescue Remedy for Pets is a liquid that can be given before or during times of stress. Zuke's also makes a Calming chew that may be effective. Along with these supplements, gradual desensitization to negative stimuli should be attempted. Do this by exposing Archer to the stimulus for ever increasing periods of time. Use praise and reward as he progresses.
