Just like humans, dogs can experience social anxiety when put in situations where there are a lot of unfamiliar people around. Many pet owners may dismiss their dog’s cautious behavior as shyness. But social anxiety in dogs is different. When a dog has social anxiety, their shy behaviors come from a place of fear rather than a place of caution. Dogs that experience anxiety in social situations may have trouble distinguishing between friend and foe.

While some dogs may withdraw, others may react with aggression. However, regardless of how an anxious dog reacts, the consequences are similar: it has a negative effect on their fur parent’s life. When Kristina noticed that her three-year-old Mini English Bulldog, Bodhi grew anxious whenever he was around people, she gave Canna-Pet a try. Read below to hear their story:

What was your pet like before you found Canna-Pet?

Before I found Canna-Pet, Bodhi was always extremely anxious, excited, and nervous whenever I had friends over or when my three roommates came back from work each night.

What led you to look for a solution?

I grew tired of having to keep Bodhi out of the common areas of the house and I wanted him to feel relaxed around other people.

What was important to you when looking for a solution?

I only give Bodhi all natural, organic, plant-based foods. Canna-Pet’s formulas fit right into our healthy lifestyle.

What other solutions had you tried before you found Canna-Pet?

Bodhi and I go for a three-mile walk almost every day. When that wasn’t enough to calm him down, I knew I needed to look for a solution to his anxiety.

What convinced you to give Canna-Pet a try?

I have seen the benefits of hemp with humans and dogs, and I wanted my little guy to have a healthy alternative to anxiety medicine.

Tell us about your experience using Canna-Pet:

Whenever I have guests over at my house, I make sure to give Bodhi two of the Peanut Butter biscuits before they come over. Ever since I began doing this, he is much more calm and is able to relax better.

What do you like best about the Canna-Pet products?

I love the transparency, education, and information provided with Canna-Pet products.

If Bodhi could talk, what would he say about Canna-Pet?

“This stuff works great!”
