The Senior Wellness Collection

CALM-Calm-K9 Senior Boost, CALM-Calm-K9 Calming Balm and FLEXI-Flexi-K9 - The Perfect Recipe for a Happy, Healthy Senior.


As your dog ages, you may start to notice changes such as joint stiffness, signs of decreased hearing and vision, as well as changes associated with cognitive decline, which can include:

  • Reduced energy or alertness
  • Disorientation, confusion or forgetfulness
  • Increased anxiety
  • Disinterest

CALM-K9 Senior Boost and CALM-K9 Calming Balm are all-natural calming products for anxious, reactive, over-tired, fearful and worried dogs. 

CALM-K9 Senior Boost includes all the great benefits of CALM-K9 but is specifically designed to promote brain wellness in dogs over the age of 7, allowing them to live their best life, for as long as possible.

CALM-K9 Calming Balm is a soothing massage balm that can be used in conjunction with CALM-K9 Senior to help your dog relax naturally.

FLEXI-K9 does what it says – it’s a dog supplement that helps your dog to flex!

As our dogs age, they become less flexible. Joints begin to stiffen, making activity levels decrease as movement becomes more difficult. FLEXI-K9 not only supports the natural production of joint lubricant, it aids the body’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory processes as well. 

HOW TO USE:


CALM-K9 Senior Boost and FLEXI-K9
 

  • Simply measure and mix the CALM-K9 Senior Boost and FLEXI-K9 powder with your dog’s wet or dry food once a day!
  • All A-OK9 supplements can be combined and fed at the same time.
  • We don't recommend that CALM-K9 or CALM-K9 Senior Boost are fed to dogs who are on behaviour-modifying drugs and we would recommend consulting your vet before adding these products to your dog's diet.


CALM-K9 Calming Balm

  • CALM-K9 Calming Balm can be used alongside other anxiolytic products to help your dog naturally relax and can be gently rolled on which means the materials always reach the skin.

CALM-K9 Calming Balm:


  • LAVENDER -used for centuries for its soothing qualities to reduce stress and calm anxiety. Studies have shown that the essential oils in Lavender may reduce cortisol levels, heart rate, and blood pressure hence reducing anxiety and its effects. It’s thought that the aroma can increase delta waves which can create a sense of calm and help sleep.
  • VALERIAN-Valerian is an herb used for centuries to reduce anxiety and to calm. It is thought that the compound that is contained in Valerian, valerenic acid works on GABA receptors to reduce anxiolytic effects. In addition, valepotriates that give valerian its distinctive smell seem to have a similar effect of reducing anxiety.
  • ROSEMARY ESSENTIAL OILS- The essential oils of Rosemary contain a wide range of compounds which seem to be responsible for its anxiolytic effects. It has also been shown to improve sleep quality and mood. Further studies have also shown that it may improve cognitive function.
  • CHAMOMILE ROMAN ESSENTIAL OILS- Chamomile is a daisy-like plant most commonly used to make tea and has long been associated with calming and reducing anxiety. Low levels of GABA accompany anxiety disorders and it is thought that chamomile may have a positive effect on GABA metabolism hence providing an anxiolytic effect.
  • SKULLCAP EXTRACT- Skullcap is a herb that has been used in traditional herbal medicine for its potential calming and anxiolytic effects. It is thought to have some influence on the GABA pathways by binding to GABA receptors whilst also seemingly having an effect on serotonin and dopamine which are both associated with mood regulation.
  • PIPER METHYSTICUM- Piper methysticum has been traditionally used for its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties. It contains kavalactones which seem to have a variety of effects on the body including GABA enhancement which is a neurotransmitter that regulates brain activity. It is also involved in the reduction of norepinephrine which is the neurotransmitter responsible for the flight or fight response whilst also acting as a muscle relaxant.
