Dogs often live very closely with us in everyday life and are an integral part of our everyday lives. As pack animals, they need contact with their caregivers and of course with other dogs. However, in everyday life it is often necessary for us to leave our dogs alone for hours at a time. With a gradual, gentle acclimatization to the new situation, many animals can stay alone calmly and calmly after a while - but others still find it very difficult. To make it easier for your dog to gradually get used to being alone, give him a daily dose of strotonin in the morning during the exercise phase. Please make sure to increase the exercise sessions slowly so that your four-legged friend has enough time to grow into the new situation.

A familiar place to retreat, a toy or a (chew) snack can make spending time alone easier for your four-legged friend. Farewell and greetings should be brief and calm to make it clear to your animal that the situation is normal. With patience and regular practice, your dog should find it increasingly easier to stay alone for longer periods of time.

Moving into a new home and often a new “pack” is initially a challenge for many animals. For most four-legged friends it is initially stressful when they have to leave their familiar surroundings. The new environment is full of new sounds and smells, unfamiliar objects and strange people. There may also be other unknown animals in the house - stress for the newcomer is inevitable. To make it easier for your furry friend to move in, if possible, give him strotonin with his food 2-3 days before the actual move and keep the dosage the same for the first week. If your animal has already adjusted well after a week, you can shorten the dose to every other day and stop it after another week.

If a dose before the move is not possible for organizational reasons, we recommend doubling the regular daily dose on the day of the move and feeding it with a treat both when you pick it up and when you arrive. Depending on the animal's mood, you can maintain the increased dose for the first 1-2 days in the new home until the effective level has built up. Then switch to the regular daily dose. If your animal has already adjusted well after a week, you can shorten the dose to every other day and stop it after another week.

To make settling in as stress-free as possible, you should also ensure that the environment in your new home is quiet and safe. Your dog needs plenty of sleep and time to explore his new home and get to know you. Ask visitors to only come to visit after the acclimatization period so that their four-legged friend has enough time to adjust to the new environment at their own pace.

If you take in a dog from an animal protection or animal shelter, be sure to ask about the animal's history and any known stress or anxiety factors. If you have problems getting used to it, be sure to get help directly from an animal trainer or a dog school. The sooner you work with your four-legged friend on behavioral problems, the greater the chances of a good and relaxed relationship between you and your animal. You can also feed strotonin during a longer acclimatization phase and thus provide your dog with additional support in regular and professional training.

A reliable hunting dog must be bulletproof - but what should you do if your dog reacts stressed and anxious to unfamiliar noises, especially at the beginning of his training as a hunting dog? Or if your dog reacts in a distracted, hesitant manner during the hunt due to sheer enthusiasm and excitement, or if his nerves literally fail him? Strotonin helps your dog maintain better inner balance even under extreme tension.

For more calmness and less stress while hunting or during hunting training, we recommend starting to add strotonin 2-3 days before hunting/training. This way he can gain positive (hunting) experiences with less stress. If your dog becomes increasingly more relaxed and focused, you can gradually shorten the administration of strotonin - always taking the dog's individual mood into account.

Loud noises cause fear and stress in many animals. Especially on New Year's Eve, many dogs react in panic to the loud and unusual noises and the burning smell of the fireworks. Getting used to New Year's Eve is difficult because the situation only occurs once a year - young and old dogs are therefore often affected equally. If your animal reacts anxiously during storms/thunderstorms, it is likely that it will also develop anxiety on New Year's Eve.

You can make this very special day of the year easier for your four-legged friend and start giving strotonin 2-3 days before New Year's Eve. Strotonin has a stabilizing and balancing effect and prevents panic-like sudden actions. Please also ensure that your four-legged friend has a safe and relaxed environment. Strotonin helps your animal react more calmly and calmly - but it does not have a sedating effect. Your dog's escape reflexes continue to work. Therefore, do not let him walk without a leash while giving strotonin if, for example, he reacts startled to sudden banging noises.

Storms can often be planned with less advance notice, but the same applies here: ensure a relaxed and safe environment for your four-legged friend. If there is a severe weather warning, you can also feed strotonin with a treat or some food regardless of the next main meal so that an effective active level can build up in good time.

While a trip is usually associated with many positive emotions for us humans, for most four-legged friends it initially means stress when they leave their familiar surroundings. A journey by car, bus or train needs to be planned and prepared well, and a flight even more so.

Despite all the preparation, your four-legged friend will experience many unknown impressions, sounds and smells that are stressful and frightening for him. Not only sensitive and anxious dogs experience stress - traveling can also be stressful for balanced and well-socialized four-legged friends. To help your pet travel as stress-free and relaxed as possible, we recommend starting to give strotonin 2-3 days before departure and maintaining it for the entire duration of the trip. In this way, the stress level can be reduced during arrival and departure as well as at the destination.

In addition, you should definitely make sure you have a safe and comfortable transport box of the right size for transport. Make sure you take regular walk breaks where your animal can move around and relieve itself. If you travel by car, you can regulate breaks, ventilation and temperature for your four-legged friend better than when traveling by bus or train. If your dog doesn't yet know the appropriate means of transport, you should definitely be trained to use it before the trip, for example in local transport. To make it easier for your pet to settle in at your holiday destination, be sure to take a usual basket/blanket and toys, as well as their usual food, with you. We wish you a good journey!

For many animals, a visit to the vet is stressful. This may be because the animal has already had negative experiences, such as an unpleasant injection during a previous visit to the vet. However, there is often no specific trigger, but rather stress and anxiety arise from the “surroundings” of a visit to the vet: in the practice it smells different, there are different noises, and above all, there are strange and also anxious/stressed animals as well as nervous owners present. For many dogs, these factors make the veterinary practice an unpleasant environment for them, in which they feel stress and possibly fear.

Strotonin has a balancing effect and ensures better inner balance even in stressful situations. To make your dog's visit to the vet more pleasant, we recommend giving strotonin 2-3 days in advance and on the day of treatment itself. Strotonin helps your animal to react more calmly and calmly. It is particularly important that it does not have a sedating effect and does not interact with other medications.

To provide additional support for your animal, please try to be as calm and calm as possible. Your animal trusts you and is further encouraged by your calm.
