Cats with separation anxiety, thunderstorm stress, fireworks fears and travel phobias.
They might pretend to be fiercely independent but we know the truth... cats often just hide their signs of worry and stress a little better than dogs do.
With anxiety being the number one concern for pet parents, there's no doubt that modern life is tough on best mates. The active ingredients (like L-theanine) are proven to help keep cats calm and collected. And all without sedating them.
Real Aussie Chicken:
A highly digestible and palatable protein; chicken is popular for a reason. It's also packed with essential nutrients like tryptophan and glucosamine and is rich in omega 6 oils.
Chicken meat also produces less flatulence and breath odour compared to the cereals found in other dental treats. Making it the perfect, nutritious base to these highly functional treats.
L-theanine:
A hero ingredient when it comes to calming. This amino acid (found naturally in some green tea) is scientifically proven to promote calmness and reduce anxiety related behaviour (like barking, shaking, panting, escaping) in a variety of situations including separation from owners, thunderstorms and fireworks.
It works by naturally regulating brain wave activity. Shifting erratic 'beta' waves to more calm 'alpha' waves. And all without side effects like sedation or drowsiness. It may even reduce cortisol levels.
Chamomile:
This well known flower extract contains apigenin, a flavonoid that binds to specific receptors in the brain, particularly GABA receptors, promoting feelings of calm and relaxation.
B Vitamins:
These water soluble vitamins not only help brain function but also reduce stress related fatigue and irritability. Allowing for calm, controlled behaviour.
Tryptophan:
Tryptophan is one of the key building blocks used by cats to make melatonin (a crucial sleep hormone) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter that controls mood, sleep, and appetite). Deficiencies can be associated with aggression, depression and moodiness.
