When I bought Dan some LiverAid from Native Remedies, a product called PetCalm caught my eye. It's for anxiety.
I've had Sunnie on Chinese teapills for anxiety on-and-off for a while now (the "off" being deliberate short breaks)...they've taken a bit of the edge off, but that's been it. E.g., when I open the refrigerator, she will move away but stay in the kitchen if she's on the pills...if she's off the pills, she'll run from the kitchen. That muting applies to most of her other anxiety-provoking things, too.
I started the PetCalm close to a week ago. As of yesterday, she barely moved away from the fridge door...just enough to not get hit. And this morning we had no shivering when it came time to file nails and apply her pad toughener. She's been calmer in general during other moments that might prompt the shivers.
So many products are liquids with a base of alcohol, which I refuse to use, but the PetCalm is tiny pellets....she gets two pinches three times a day (when Dan gets his LiverAid, which I also have Sunnie on "just in case"...it's a good tonic...they can be given together). They must taste good because the doggy alarm clocks go off pretty much on schedule for their "stuff".
Thought I'd share since we have other anxious pups on here.

Note: this also comes in a spray....I presume it's alcohol-based because most of their liquids are. I can't vouch for the spray, just the pellets.
ETA: The link is fine..."Bad Request" must be fun for the browser to say.

Good, well chosen homeopathics can be surprisingly effective.
