Activ Stress – Stress & Anxiety Dog Supplement
Hiding, Pacing, Barking or Struggling With Stressful Situations?
Stress can show up in different ways, including restlessness, clinginess, barking, trembling, difficulty settling or reacting strongly to everyday triggers.
Activ Stress supports calm behaviour, emotional balance and stress resilience with two complementary types of support: Trypsin Digest of Casein for more immediate stressful moments, and Psychobiotics to support the gut-brain connection over time.
Why Activ Stress Is Different
✅ Two types of stress support - casein-based calming support + Psychobiotics
✅ Supports the gut-brain connection over time
✅ Designed to work alongside training and desensitisation
✅ Microbiome Assist™ technology
✅ Natural freeze-dried daily treat - no powders or tablets
Does This Sound Like Your Dog?
- Pacing or difficulty settling
- Barking or whining when left alone
- Trembling during storms or fireworks
- Becoming clingy or restless
- Stress around grooming or vet visits
- Reactivity around visitors or unfamiliar people
- Difficulty coping with travel or car rides
- Becoming overwhelmed in busy environments
- Struggling with changes in routine
- Showing stress before a known trigger even happens
These behaviours can have many causes, but the gut-brain connection plays an important role in stress responses. Activ Stress is designed to support a calmer state while you work on the underlying trigger through training, routine and gradual desensitisation.

Maintenance Feeding vs Increased Support Feeding
Maintenance Feeding – 3 treats per day
For everyday, ongoing use. Once your dog is doing well, continue with 3 treats per day to provide consistent daily stress and gut-brain support.
Increased Support Feeding – 6 treats per day
During periods when your dog needs additional support, the daily amount can be increased to 6 treats per day for a short period before returning to the normal Maintenance Feeding amount.
Always start with Maintenance Feeding first.
Allow approximately one week for your dog to adjust before increasing.
Sensitive tummy?
If your dog develops loose stools when first starting, reduce to approximately half the Maintenance amount for the first week, then gradually build back up.
Extra support when they need it. Maintenance support when they’re doing well.

Activ Stress + Training: A Better Approach
Activ Stress is designed to work alongside structured training and desensitisation, not replace it.
Using Activ Stress before a known stressful event or training session may help support a calmer learning state. This can be especially useful during periods of separation stress, grooming, travel, storms or fireworks, visits from unfamiliar people, busy environments, veterinary visits or time spent in new places.
Casein-based support helps during more immediate stressful moments, while Psychobiotics support the gut-brain connection over time.

Travel
Vet visits
Storms and fireworks
Visitors
Busy environments

Trypsin Digest of Casein is selected to help support calm behaviour and relaxation during situations such as separation, grooming, travel, loud noises, visitors or unfamiliar environments.
For Ongoing Gut-Brain Support

Everyday Stress Support
Activ Stress uses Trypsin Digest of Casein, derived from milk protein, to help support a calmer response during stressful situations such as separation, loud noises, travel, grooming or unfamiliar environments.
By helping support a calmer state, Activ Stress may help dogs stay more settled and focused during training, desensitisation sessions or new surroundings.
Activ Stress helps encourage relaxation and emotional balance, especially during known stressful events. It is designed to support calm behaviour without relying on sedation.
Activ Stress combines casein-based calming support with Psychobiotics for the gut-brain connection, helping support everyday stress resilience and calmer responses over time.

In Activ Stress, Microbiome Assist™ helps support the gut-brain connection through Psychobiotics, helping dogs build better emotional balance and stress resilience over time.
Combined with casein-based calming support, Activ Stress is designed to support both short-term calm and longer-term gut-brain health.

Stress Doesn’t Always Look Dramatic.
It can look like:
Pacing
Trembling
Excessive barking
Clinginess
Hiding
Difficulty settling
Reactivity
Refusing food during stressful moments
Stress before a known trigger
Difficulty coping with changes
Understanding the behaviour is the first step. Supporting the gut-brain connection can be part of a wider stress-management approach.
Support Calm Behaviour With Training + Desensitisation
Desensitisation training is one of the most effective ways to help dogs build confidence around stressful triggers.
Activ Stress supports this process with casein-based calming support for more immediate stressful moments and Psychobiotics for longer-term gut-brain support.
Use Activ Stress alongside structured training to help your dog build calmer, more confident responses over time.
Objective: To help condition a fearful or stressed dog to feel more confident and settled in specific situations.
