Calming Support

Yes, it really works for many dogs. The active ingredients are backed by clinical studies that showed a clear reduction in stress behaviors and cortisol levels. It's not a magic wand, but for the majority of dogs, especially those who struggle with fireworks, thunderstorms, or separation anxiety, the results are noticeable.

Most dogs respond within 30 minutes. If you’re using it for a specific trigger, like a storm or car ride, give it about 45 minutes beforehand. Some dogs need a few uses to show results, but you’ll usually know within the first three tries if it’s helping.

No, not at all. Brave Paws is designed to calm, not sedate. Your dog should still be alert and responsive, just noticeably more relaxed and less reactive to stress.

The main active ingredients are extracts from a tropical vine called Souroubea and North American sycamore bark. These are standardized to deliver a natural compound called betulinic acid, which helps promote calm behavior. There’s no CBD, no melatonin, no grains, and nothing artificial.

The chews have been tested at five times the recommended dose without any concerning effects. In real-world use, a small number of dogs may get soft stools, especially if they’re very sensitive. That usually clears up by adjusting the dose or giving it with food.

Yes. If it doesn’t work for your dog, you can get a full refund within 30 days. No stress, no hoops to jump through. Just let us know.

The general guideline is one chew for every 10 kilograms (about 22 pounds) of body weight. If your dog is right in between, you can adjust as needed. The chews are soft and easy to split if you want to start slow.

You can, but you don’t have to. For occasional stress, just give it before the stressful event. If your dog has more constant anxiety, daily use can help maintain a calm baseline. It really depends on your dog’s needs.

Yes, as long as your dog is over six months old. It’s been used safely with older dogs, even those on medications. If your dog has health concerns or is on prescriptions, check with your vet first just to be sure.

The chews are grain-free and gluten-free. They’re flavored with beef, so if your dog has a beef allergy, that’s something to keep in mind.

There’s no evidence of tolerance, even after long-term use. If your dog starts reacting differently, it’s more likely due to changes in their environment or triggers rather than the chew losing effectiveness.

CBD works on different brain receptors and can sometimes cause drowsiness. Brave Paws uses betulinic acid, which works on calming pathways without sedation. It’s also easier to travel with and doesn’t carry any legal or dosing gray areas.

Most of the science focuses on noise-related anxiety, but many owners say it helps with separation, vet visits, travel, and grooming stress too. If your dog has multiple triggers, this can be a gentle and effective first step.

Most dogs love the beef flavor and eat it like a treat. If yours is extra picky, you can crumble the chew and mix it into a meal. It works the same way.
