Holidays, Fireworks and Stress — What Pets Experience
The festive season, fireworks, firecrackers and New Year’s Eve explosions are celebratory for most people — but for many dogs and cats they mean stress, fear and anxiety. Trembling, hiding, panic reactions or even attempts to escape are unfortunately very common in pets. Stress doesn’t affect only mood — over time, it can seriously disrupt both physical and emotional balance.
Why Stress Is a Serious Issue for Animals
Every dog and cat has their own personality, sensitivity and life experience — for some, a single loud bang is enough to trigger a panic response. In addition to fireworks and firecrackers, other strong fear triggers include sudden loud noises, thunderstorms, environmental changes, travel or changes in routine.
Prolonged stress and recurring anxiety can lead to behavioural problems — excessive nervousness, avoidance, destructive behaviour — all signs that your pet needs support.
Calma Pets is a natural support developed specifically for these moments. It does not sedate, alter the animal’s personality or cause dependency — it gently helps the body calm down and restore inner balance.
🌿 Natural Care for Those You Love
Choosing a natural product like Calma Pets means choosing a respectful and conscious approach to your pet’s wellbeing. It’s not just about easing discomfort or solving a temporary issue — it’s about supporting your dog or cat on the path to true inner calm, without force, invasive methods or changing their authentic nature.
Every animal has its own internal balance, made up of emotions, rhythms and sensitivities. Calma Pets helps support this balance gently, gradually and in harmony with the animal’s natural needs, without interfering with its true temperament.
With its help, you provide your pet with real yet gentle support — a formulation designed to reduce stress and promote relaxation, without side effects and without behavioural alteration.
Calma Pets — A Natural Solution for Calmer Paws
Calma Pets is a liquid nutritional supplement for dogs and cats, made with carefully selected plant extracts such as linden, chamomile, hops, lemon balm and hawthorn — natural ingredients known for their calming effect on the nervous system.
It helps gently restore calmness and inner relaxation without sedating the animal or impairing alertness — making it suitable even for active, awake pets.
Common situations where use is beneficial:
-
Loud firecrackers and fireworks, especially during holidays (e.g. New Year’s Eve)

Stress caused by travel, environmental changes or relocation

Anxiety during thunderstorms, sudden loud noises or changes in daily routine

🕒 When and How to Start
For best results, we recommend:
-
Start 3–5 days before an expected stressful event (e.g. New Year’s Eve, fireworks, celebrations).
-
Administer daily in the recommended dose according to the animal’s weight.
-
On days with intense noise, the dose may be repeated if needed, according to manufacturer instructions.
-
Calma Pets is liquid and can easily be mixed with food or given directly into the mouth.
Regular use leading up to the event allows the animal’s nervous system to stabilize gradually and remain below the panic threshold.
How and When to Use Calma Pets
-
Calma Pets is intended for oral use in liquid form. Dosage depends on the animal’s weight and level of nervousness.
-
Dosage recommendations:
-
< 5 kg: up to ½ teaspoon
-
5–10 kg: ½–1 teaspoon
-
10–20 kg: 1–2 teaspoons
-
20 kg: 2–4 teaspoons
(1 teaspoon ≈ 2.5 ml)
-
-
For predictable stressful events (fireworks, New Year’s Eve, major stress), it is recommended to start use a few days in advance to allow gradual adaptation.
