How to Comfort a Restless Dog Using Natural Remedies
Finding Gentle Relief for Life’s Ruff Moments
Nothing’s worse than a four-legged best friend in need.
Charlotte’s Web™ believes every dog should be tail-wagging happy, but even the best boys and girls get a little nervous. Thunderstorms, fireworks, the mailman—your dog’s sworn enemies could strike at any moment.
But you? You’re the hero.
Learn how to save your dog from restlessness and stress, and how CBD can be an ally.
Why Dogs Feel Restless
Dogs experience nervousness just like us—with one key difference: they can’t speak up.
Since your pup can’t tell you what’s wrong, it’s important to recognize the signs of stress:
- Hiding or avoiding contact
- Excessive barking or whining
- Restlessness or pacing
- Panting even when not hot
-
Destructive behavior
“But why is my dog restless?”
Common triggers include loud noises, changes in routine or surroundings, travel stress, or separation when you’re away. Physical restlessness at night might also point to discomfort or underlying apprehension.
How You Can Relieve Stress in Your Dog
Want to learn how to calm a restless dog at night or any time of day? Here are a few ways you can take action:
Create a Safe Space
Consider a quiet room or crate with their favorite blanket.
Use Calming Routines
Offer stability through regular walks, mealtimes, and bedtime.
Try Anxiety-Reducing Tools
Help your dog mellow out with pressure wraps or white noise machines.
Redirect Nervous Energy
Offer interactive toys or puzzles to distract your dog from stress.
Consider Natural Remedies
Wellness solutions like CBD can help support a sense of calm.
How CBD Works for Dogs
A Look into the Endocannabinoid System
Your pup’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) helps maintain its natural balance, known as homeostasis. This system interacts with cannabinoids introduced through CBD products, meaning dogs can benefit from CBD just like we can.
CBD and Dog Anxiety
CBD’s interaction with the ECS can support calm and stability.
Sick of the science? Let’s get straight to the point: CBD can help support your little buddy's emotional balance—calming them in moments of stress.
When to Consider CBD for Dogs
Is your dog a candidate? Consult with your veterinarian, and see if CBD could help your dog with:
- Nighttime restlessness: Difficulty settling down or lying comfortably at night.
- Storm fear or fireworks: Loud and unpredictable noises often cause fear in dogs.
- Travel stress: Long car rides or airplane trip can trigger unease.
- Vet visit or moving homes: These moments often disrupt their sense of safety.
- Attachment issues: Distress when separate from their favorite person, even briefly.
Choosing the Right CBD for Dogs
1. Check Growing Standards
Your dog deserves the good stuff, but not all hemp is grown the same!
Look for companies backed by Certificates of Analysis. That means their products have been tested for harmful materials like pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents.
Soil purity matters in hemp cultivation. Charlotte’s Web™ sets the gold standard by sourcing only U.S.-grown hemp, with extensive lab testing from soil to product delivery.
2. Look for Safe Extraction Methods
Safety, safety, and safety. Your dog deserves nothing less.
Avoid brands using non-compliant manufacturing facilities or unsafe extraction methods involving solvents like hexane or butane.
Charlotte’s Web™ uses safe, CO2-extraction process to provide clean, high-quality CBD oils you and your dog can trust.
3. Select Between Oil or Chews
Sassy. Picky. “Independent.” Our dogs are house royalty—so they have options:
- CBD oils: Unflavored or chicken-flavored for maximum doggy efficiency. Great for picky eaters or precise intake.
-
CBD calming chews: "Wellness should be shaped like a treat." — Your dog. We can't say we disagree.
How Much CBD Should You Give Your Dog?
It's always recommended to start low and gradually increase -—you’ll want to see how your dog responds and adjust as needed. For this reason, oils are often selected for the ease with which pet parents can tailor their amounts.
