Kanna has no additives, is non-addictive, has no side effects. It can be used at shows as it is a natural remedy, not a drug.

REVIEW FROM A PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER

 

"We have been trialling the pet products for the purpose of rehabilitating dogs with serious behavioural issues and we are very impressed with the results. So impressed, we have started referring clients and using it as part of our rehabilitation for dogs with PTSD.

We were so impressed with the effects on the dogs that we tried it on ourselves. Our jobs can get very stressful (not related to the dogs, but circumstances surrounding their treatment by humans). We highly recommend taking these to cope better with a stressful job or for dealing with challenging circumstances positively." - Heather Murphy K9 Paws Services.

 

OUR NEW PRODUCT IS DESIGNED FOR PETS

 

K-9 KALM

 

Do you have a highly-strung pet that needs calming down a bit from time to time?  K-9 Kalm is an all-natural liquid herbal formula made especially for stressed pets big or small. It helps calm animals that are tense, over-excited, or experiencing temporary anxiousness.

 

Whether your pet experiences separation nervousness, over-excitedness at the park, visiting the vet or kennel, K-9 Kalm can help to calm it down. It also helps young, rambunctious puppies that need a calming dose now and then – especially while they are in training, or for times of acute stress like fireworks night.

 

While K-9 Kalm does an amazing job at helping bouncy, anxious dogs, it’s also great for overly nervous kitties and exotic pets and birds, too!

 

K-9 Kalm is made with herbs that help relax heart rates, muscles, and nerves. Stress and overactive behaviour can also negatively affect your pets’ digestion so by calming down the nervous system, it also benefits the digestive system.

 

Our alcohol-free process makes the herbs both bio-available and bio-utilizable, so every drop goes right to work supporting your pet’s health and well-being.

 

And like all Obsidian Organics herbal tinctures, K-9 Kalm is totally alcohol-free. It only has three things in it, herbs, glycerin, and water. Nothing else!

You’ll love it because it’s easy to use and works so well, and your pets will love it because it helps them feel calmer.

 

How do you use it? Some pets love the taste so much they’ll let you drop it in their mouths. With others, you may have to be a bit more creative and disguise it in a favourite treat or in their water. Or you can hold your pet, wrap an arm around him, open his mouth and put the drops in the middle of the tongue. Whatever works best for you both.

 

INGREDIENTS:  Chamomile Flower, Skullcap Herb, Valerian Root S. Tortuosum
OTHER INGREDIENTS:  Distilled water, USP Vegetable Glycerin.

KANNA

Kanna has been successfully used on cats, dogs and horses for general calming, anxiety, over excitement, nervousness, and excessive barking. One study found Kanna to have beneficial effects on cats that showed signs of stress and on dogs that were clinically diagnosed with dementia.

 

CHAMOMILE

Chamomile is used to help with a number of dog health issues, such as anxiety and GI problems. It is safe and mild and successfully used as a sedative to alleviate anxiety and other symptoms associated with anxiety, such as insomnia. Chamomile is also useful for indigestion, gas, and vomiting. It's calming property is particularly helpful for dogs whose indigestion is caused by anxiety, nervousness and hyperactivity.

 

VALERIAN 

Valerian is a herb with mild sedative qualities that humans have traditionally used to alleviate insomnia, stress, and anxiety. Integrative veterinarians also recommend it for their anxious canine patients. In addition valerian root may be recommended to help with noise phobias—including thunderstorms, fireworks, and gunfire—separation anxiety, visits to the veterinary office, travel, on walks with aggressive dogs, and when hosting large groups of people at home.

 

SKULLCAP

Skullcap promotes a calming effect on dogs and cats and relieves anxiety  without affecting physical dexterity.

 

 

KANNA CAPSULES USEFUL FOR LARGE BREEDS

 

 "Large to giant working breeds with very hard/determined/independent minds burn through the tincture way too fast when they are faced with a challenging situation in training. I have found the capsule boost is far better for them. We don't need it all the time, but after a long period in lockdown dogs are now hyper vigilant in the environment again and we're retraining with Behavioural Adjustment Therapy using Kanna to help them feel more optimistic around traffic, people, other dogs outside etc. " - Heather Murphy K9 Paws Services
