Depending on the sensitivity of your canine, the sounds of airplanes, thunderstorms and even doorbells can cause a pooch panic. Although we can't always predict when a low-flying jet will pass overhead, there are plenty of resources to put us on alert when intense weather is in the forecast. This allows us time to both help relax and reward our dog with the help of chamomile.

Chamomile is a safe and natural sedative, derived from a daisy-like plant, that can be effective in calming an anxious dog. As our dogs can't exactly sip a mug of herbal tea, some innovative companies now offer chamomile-infused chews. Sam's Yams makes a treat that combines the nutritional benefit of natural sweet potato with the calming effects of chamomile. These antioxidant rich "Calmly Chamomile Yam Bones" should safely satisfy your dog's natural chewing urges while helping him to weather the storm.
