Calming Support for Small Pets: How It Works

Quick answer

Select Care Calming Support can help a nervous rabbit or guinea pig feel more at ease, but it works best alongside a calm environment and proper handling. Use it as a daily supplement during stressful periods, and always check with your vet if symptoms persist.

Diagnosis guide: Is your small pet stressed?

• Symptom: Look for signs like hiding more than usual, excessive grooming, teeth grinding (not purring), aggression, or a sudden change in eating or bathroom habits. Note when the behaviour started and what changed in the environment.
• Likely cause: Common triggers include new pets or people, loud noises, moving to a new home, or a change in routine. Boredom or lack of enrichment can also contribute. Try to identify and reduce the trigger if possible.
• Corrective action: Provide a quiet, secure space with hiding spots. Offer Select Care Calming Support as a daily treat according to the package directions. Maintain a consistent routine for feeding and handling. Give the supplement a few days to see if behaviour improves.
• When to stop or choose another option: If your pet shows signs of pain, lethargy, loss of appetite, or if the stress continues for more than a week despite your efforts, stop the supplement and consult a vet. A supplement is not a substitute for medical care. Always prioritise a veterinary check-up for persistent or severe symptoms.
