What are "calming collars" designed to do?

Calming collars are specifically designed to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety in animals, particularly dogs. They typically contain ingredients like essential oils or pheromones that have soothing effects. The collar releases these calming substances, which can help alleviate stress in various situations, such as during thunderstorms, fireworks, or when the animal faces new environments or experiences.

While some products may claim to help with other behaviors or functions, the primary intent of calming collars is to address anxiety and promote a sense of calm. Therefore, utilizing calming collars as a tool for relaxation aligns with their intended purpose in animal behavior management.
