Some dogs are easily unsettled, by thunderstorms, fireworks or a busy household. These Relax Mix treats are composed around calm, with herbs traditionally used around relaxation, such as valerian and lavender, in a soft duck treat. From the Dutch herbal brand Jacob Hooy.
What are these treats?
Healthy Dog Relax Mix are complete meat treats for dogs with 50% duck as the base, supplemented with plant-based by-products in the form of a herbal blend, plus oils and fats. The treats are soft in texture and therefore suitable for dogs of various ages, with the exception of puppies younger than 4 months.
The herbal blend
The herbal blend contains hops (Humulus lupulus), lemon balm leaf (Melissa officinalis), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) and valerian (Valeriana officinalis). These are traditional herbs within European herbal medicine, where they are often used around rest and relaxation. Valerian, lavender and lemon balm leaf are the best-known examples, with a history of use going back to Roman antiquity. The positioning around Relax Mix is aligned with that tradition. Within the regulations for animal feed, no specific medical claims are attributed to these herbs.
How do you give them?
The amount depends on your dog’s weight:
- Dog up to 10 kg: 2 treats per day
- Dog 10 to 20 kg: 4 treats per day
- Dog heavier than 20 kg: 6 treats per day
You can give them as a reward or as an addition to the daily meal. With a sensitive dog, start the first few days with half the recommended amount so you can assess tolerance. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
