Helping Your Dog With Anxiety: Kaia’s Story
Anxiety isn’t just something we humans deal with—our furry friends can experience it too.
For our girl Kaia, certain things really push her anxiety buttons, like loud fireworks, thunderstorms, and surprisingly, the sound of me shouting at the TV during a football match.
When things get overwhelming, she has a quirky habit of climbing onto the back of the sofa like a cat—her personal “safe spot.”
We know Kaia isn’t alone in this. If your dog struggles with anxiety, whether it’s noise-related, separation anxiety, or restlessness, there are ways to help them feel calm and secure.
At Canine Originals, we’ve curated products that are not only effective but also natural, safe, and calming for both dogs and their humans.
Here’s how they can help pups like Kaia and yours find their peace.
1. “Goodbye Anxiety” Pet-Friendly Candle
When Kaia’s anxiety kicks in, whether it’s due to fireworks or my enthusiastic cheering during a match, lighting the Goodbye Anxiety candle transforms the atmosphere in our home.
Its blend of lavender and cedarwood is designed to promote relaxation, reducing stress and tension in both dogs and humans.
This candle is a game-changer:
- It creates a tranquil environment for dogs, particularly during noise-heavy occasions like Bonfire Night or New Year’s Eve.
- Its calming aroma can also help us humans alleviate headaches and low moods, creating a better atmosphere for everyone.
- Perfect to light during the evenings, it even promotes better sleep—ideal for dogs (and their owners) who need some extra rest after an anxious spell.
For us, it’s become a match-day ritual—calming Kaia and mellowing the household vibe.

2. “Goodbye Anxiety” Calming Room Mist
If you’re looking for an on-the-go option to soothe your dog’s nerves, the Goodbye Anxiety Room Mist is your answer.
When Kaia starts getting worked up, a quick spritz around her favourite spots (like her bed or that infamous sofa perch) works wonders.
This mist creates a calming environment anywhere, whether you’re at home or travelling. It’s especially great for:
- Helping dogs stay calm during car rides or vet visits.
- Easing separation anxiety when you need to step out for a bit.
- Supporting dogs with general hyperactivity or restlessness.
It’s like a pocket-sized solution to help your furry friend stay zen, and it’s an essential in our home for Kaia’s anxiety spikes.

3. “Calm The Fluff Down” Aromatherapy Rollerball
This unique aromatherapy rollerball is another staple in our toolbox for Kaia. We love how easy it is to use—just roll it onto her bandana or bedding, and let the natural essential oils do their magic.
The Calm The Fluff Down rollerball is formulated to:
- Ease fear and noise anxiety (perfect for those thunderstorm days).
- Support restlessness and hyperactivity.
- Tackle anxiety during travel or separation from their humans.
For Kaia, it’s especially helpful during reactive situations like fireworks or when the house gets a bit too loud during a heated football game. It’s our go-to when we need something quick, natural, and effective.
