Lately, my Cavoodle Soju has been showing signs of anxiety, especially after we moved to a new house. He gets restless and clingy, and I can tell he’s not fully comfortable yet. I’ve started giving him calming dog treats like I bought before Homeopet Anxiety Natural Liquid Supplement, from Petfoodr and making sure we go on regular walks to help release his stress. Some days are better than others, but I’m learning that even small routines really help him feel safer.

Hello and I'm sorry to hear that it's taking a little time for your new arrival to become adjusted.  It would be interesting to work out what is causing signs of stress in this patient because, for example, stress can be difficult to separate from moderate chronic pain at times and, if present, this would need treatment.  Furthermore, this may sound obvious but it's worth saying that stress is not a diagnosis; it is an animal's response to a combination of their previous history, mental and bodily health and what is going on within their environment.  It can have long-term effects and in the short-term, can make dogs more prone to snapping or reacting antisocially.  For all of these reasons, it sounds to be worthwhile talking this situation through with a vet.  Perhaps they can help you to rule in or out pain (which can be hard to spot) and suggest ways specific to your household and your dogs' situation to make their life easier.  I understand that medication ja frequently needed to pets to enter vet practises, but we would not recommend medicating an animal 'for stress' in the long term, without some level of understanding of what is going on for them and what can be done.

Finally, I rarely reccommend that people treat pets with medication for stress and I would always reccommend talking it through with your vet first.  Measures to identify and alleviate the underlying stress can be much more effective.
