Anxiety and stress may present as shaking, pacing, hiding, changes to vocalisation, aggression, excess panting and/or drooling, depression, destructive behaviour, restlessness or repetitive/compulsive behaviours. Stress or anxiety could be caused by separation, excess noise, social interactions, travelling, moving home, change to environment, unknown people or animals, certain situations or stimuli, or disruption of routine. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that cannot be produced by the body. L-tryptophan is required to create serotonin in the brain which is responsible for mood, appetite, sleep, memory, learning and social behaviours. Thiamine helps convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy, helps reduce stress and improve central nervous system responses. B-Calm can be used before stressful situations however, is best used daily to balance general mood.
