Calming Dog Treats + Mushroom Powder

What Are Calming Treats for Dogs?

Calming treats for dogs are daily soft chews combining botanical ingredients and amino acids traditionally associated with relaxation. They are not sedatives and are not designed to make your dog drowsy. They provide steady nutritional support that sits in the background of your dog’s normal routine, which is why they work best fed consistently rather than only on difficult days.

Because they are fed as a treat rather than administered as medicine, most dogs take them willingly. In practice that matters more than it sounds, because a supplement your dog eats around or spits out is doing nothing at all.

When to Use Calming Treats for Dogs

Fireworks and thunderstorms. Bonfire Night is rarely one evening — bangs typically start in late October and carry on to New Year. Begin feeding two to four weeks ahead rather than on the day itself.

Car journeys and travel. For dogs who find the car difficult, feed with enough lead time before you set off rather than as you close the boot.

Vet and grooming appointments. A quiet morning, a light meal and support given in advance does more than anything attempted in the waiting room.

Separation and time alone. Daily feeding alongside a proper settling routine gives a dog more room before he tips over. It supports the training rather than replacing it.

New homes and changes to routine. House moves, a new baby, a rescue dog’s first fortnight, or a house full of visitors over Christmas.

Calming Dog Treats: Common Questions

Do calming treats for dogs actually work?

Results vary by dog and by what is causing the problem. They provide nutritional support and are most effective alongside changes to routine, environment and training rather than on their own.

How long do calming dog treats take to work?

For a specific event such as a car journey or an appointment, feed one to two hours beforehand. For general daily support, allow two to four weeks of consistent feeding before judging whether they are helping.

Will they make my dog drowsy?

No. These are a daily nutritional supplement rather than a sedative, and they are not intended to make your dog sleepy or subdued.

Can I give them every day?

Yes. They are formulated for daily feeding as part of your dog’s regular routine, following the feeding guide by weight.

Which dogs are they suitable for?

All breeds and sizes over 12 weeks of age. If your dog is pregnant, nursing, on medication or has a diagnosed health condition, check with your vet before starting any supplement.

What Is Mushroom Powder for Dogs?

Mushroom powder for dogs is a daily nutritional supplement made from mushroom extracts, stirred into food rather than fed as a treat. Because it is unflavoured and mixes straight into wet or dry food, it fits into a dog's normal mealtime rather than adding anything extra to their day.

HighV Mushroom Powder brings together nine different mushroom extracts in one scoop, each standardised to 30% polysaccharides, so you know exactly what your dog is getting with every serving.

The Nine Mushrooms

Lion's Mane. Recognisable by its shaggy, white appearance, Lion's Mane is one of the most researched mushrooms for brain and nerve health. It's traditionally associated with supporting cognitive function and mental sharpness, which is why many owners choose it for older dogs or breeds prone to age-related cognitive decline.

Reishi. Known in traditional Chinese medicine as the "mushroom of immortality," Reishi is prized for its calming, adaptogenic qualities. It's traditionally associated with supporting a healthy immune response and helping dogs cope with everyday stress, making it a popular choice for anxious or easily unsettled dogs.

Cordyceps. Once harvested from the Himalayas, Cordyceps has long been valued for supporting energy, stamina and healthy oxygen use in the body. It's a favourite for active, working, or senior dogs who could use a little extra vitality day to day.

Chaga. Growing on birch trees in cold climates, Chaga is one of the richest natural sources of antioxidants of any mushroom. It's traditionally associated with supporting the immune system and helping the body manage everyday oxidative stress, with many owners also linking it to a healthier-looking coat.

Enoki. These long, thin white mushrooms are naturally rich in B vitamins (including thiamine, riboflavin and B6) along with minerals like selenium and potassium. Enoki contributes beta-glucans and dietary fibre to the blend, supporting healthy digestion alongside general immune wellbeing.

Shiitake. One of the most widely studied culinary-medicinal mushrooms, Shiitake is a natural source of beta-glucans and lentinan. It's traditionally associated with supporting immune function and cardiovascular health, and is a staple in mushroom blends worldwide for good reason.

Maitake. Nicknamed the "dancing mushroom" for the joy early foragers felt on finding it, Maitake is known for its immune-supporting polysaccharides. It's also traditionally associated with supporting healthy metabolism and blood sugar balance, making it a useful addition for weight-conscious dogs.

Phellinus. A lesser-known but highly regarded mushroom in East Asian traditional medicine, Phellinus linteus is valued for its antioxidant and immune-supporting properties. It's included here for dogs who benefit from broader-spectrum immune and gut support alongside the more familiar mushrooms in the blend.

Tremella. Often called the "beauty mushroom," Tremella is prized for its unique polysaccharides that help retain moisture. It's traditionally associated with supporting skin hydration and a healthy coat, as well as joint comfort, thanks to its naturally occurring compounds similar to hyaluronic acid.
