What is the most calming scent for dogs?

Calming Canine Candle

The natural oils used in APRIL + HOLLY’s Canine Candles ™ line is suggested to reduce anxiety and calm your canine. These scents are pleasing to dogs and their humans, too! So, what scents are calming to dogs?
Lavender. While #lavender essential oil has long been used by aromatherapists to reduce stress, breathing lavender can also help de-stress and calm your canine, while doing so safely. Lavender is one of the gentlest pet-safe essential oils, and it can quiet a nervous dog, help them sleep better, and even help them cheer up.
Vanilla. In today’s market, #vanilla is one of the safest essential oils available. The scent of vanilla has nurturing and comforting qualities for a dog, with the ability to reduce stress and calm your canine. Breathing the scent of vanilla benefits dogs who experience nervous tension or irritability, keeping them calm and less aggressive.
Sage. The scent of sage is recognized by the #ASPCA as being non-toxic to dogs. Commonly used for stress relief and helping depression, #sage in a room has long created a calm atmosphere, and this remains true even for dogs.
While the scent of lavender is suggested to help with anxiety and depression, vanilla has the ability to reduce stress and calm your canine, and sage attributes to a calming atmosphere, as well. For these reasons, APRIL + HOLLY’s Calming Canine candle is made up of lavender, vanilla, and sage.

Large Hive Chew Toy — Calming Lavender Scent

Our lavender-scented Hive Chew Toy is a super engaging toy for larger dogs. Made in the USA, its erratic bounce keeps dogs happily occupied during fetch. Dogs love to gnaw on the Hive Chew Toy’s unique knobby ends, promoting healthy teeth and gums. It’s also perfect as a treat dispenser—any treat, but we recommend our large Hive Chew Stick Treats, uniquely designed to wedge snugly inside the cavity, creating an even more enriching experience for your dog.

The Hive’s bright color makes it easy for you and your dog to find indoors and outdoors. All Hive toys float, so you can toss them into any lake, pool, or body of water for even more refreshing fun!

Dogs’ highly developed sense of smell plays a major role in their well-being, and providing dogs with scented toys fulfills a key enrichment need. The Soothing Lavender scent can further engage your dog during play or cuddle time.

Did you know? Like dogs, bees have a discerning sense of smell. Lavender’s fragrant blooms attract bees from miles away; lavender’s pollen and nectar nourish the bees. All aromas in the Hive Scent Collection are inspired by plants that feed or need bees pollination. Try them all—which one will be your dog’s favorite? Interactive Tip: Insert Hive Chew Stick Treats for large dogs at either end of the Hive Chew Toy for extended play.

While our toys are very durable, no toy is indestructible. Please play with your dog responsibly and under supervision. Choose the most appropriate shape and size toys for your dog. If your dog can actually chew through our toys, please immediately discontinue use.
