The new CALMZ^® Anxiety Relief System for dogs combines high-tech innovation with acupressure in a new non-invasive, drug-free treatment that soothes common anxiety. This innovative system comes complete with an adjustable, wearable Comfort Fit Vest and a therapeutic device that emits proprietary low frequency tones, classical music and delivers a mild vibration. It fits snuggly over specific acupressure points on your dog’s spine. When the device is activated, the clinically proven NeuroSync Technology^® takes over. Your dog will hear and feel a therapeutic blend of classical music, tones and vibration to ease anxiety.

The system has been tested by renowned Board Certified veterinary behaviorist Dr. Gary Landsberg, BSc, DVM, DACVB, DECAWBM at the North Toronto Veterinary Behavior Specialty Clinic. “The results provide evidence of effectiveness in reducing anxiety induced by the presence of noise,” he says.

It has also been distributed throughout the veterinarian community and 91 percent of veterinarians and veterinary behaviorists who tested the system would recommend CALMZ.

“CALMZ is a major step forward in the treatment of anxiety,” says Dr. Jeff Werber, celebrity veterinarian and host of Pet Care TV. “I’m thrilled there is finally a drug-free solution to some of the most common behavioral problems, anxiety, fear and stress, affecting our dogs.”

He notes that during stress events, dogs experience a decreased blood flow in the frontal cortex – the processing area of the brain. Stimulating blood flow improves neural firing and communication with the spine and the brain, thus relieving anxiety.

• The CALMZ Anxiety Relief System employs vestibular (audible) and peripheral sensory (tactile) stimulations to achieve test-proven anxiety relief in dogs.
• Vestibular stimulation is the result of a low-frequency tone that is blended with a modified version of the classical piece, Beethoven’s Für Elise.
• Vibrations massage key acupressure points along the spine on the thoracic vertebrae (above shoulders) and cervical vertebrae (neck area).
• No prescriptions, no drugs, no edibles, no refills, no veterinarian visits required.
