Natural Calm for Your Dog: Why We Choose Ashwagandha

At Raw Performance, your dog’s health and happiness are our top priorities. As more pet parents explore natural ways to help their dogs manage stress and anxiety, CBD and ashwagandha are often discussed. While both can support a calm pup, ashwagandha stands out for long-term, whole-body wellness - which is why we created our Ashwagandha Calming Chews.

CBD vs. Ashwagandha

CBD (cannabidiol) comes from the cannabis plant and interacts with your dog’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood, sleep, and pain. While it may have a relaxing effect, quality and potency can vary, and regulations are still evolving.

Ashwagandha, a herbal adaptogen used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, helps the body adapt to stress naturally by balancing cortisol levels. It’s gentle, effective, and ideal for ongoing use, supporting both emotional stability and physical wellness.

Why We Choose Ashwagandha for Your Dog

1. Naturally Balances Stress
   Ashwagandha helps regulate cortisol, the “fight or flight” hormone, promoting a calmer, more relaxed pup.

2. Supports Focus and Emotional Stability
   Unlike CBD, which may cause drowsiness, ashwagandha encourages a calm, focused state - so your dog stays happy and engaged, not “zoned out.”

3. Holistic Wellness Benefits
   Beyond mood support, ashwagandha aids immune function, energy levels, and joint health, making it a perfect complement to a raw-fed lifestyle.

4. Reliable and Safe
   CBD products can be inconsistent and are still under legal scrutiny. Ashwagandha is well-studied, vet-approved, and free from regulatory complications, giving you peace of mind.
