Integrating Botanicals to Regulate Stress and Tension in Companion and Performance Animals:
Stress and tension can quietly erode wellbeing in both companion and performance animals — whether it’s pre-competition anxiety, separation stress, or chronic over-arousal. In this focused one-hour webinar, we’ll explore the physiological roots of stress and how targeted botanical support can restore balance. You’ll learn how to distinguish between acute and chronic stress in dogs and horses, choose appropriate nervines (stimulating or sedating), and incorporate adaptogens for long-term resilience. We’ll also touch on seasonal rhythms and how to work with herbs in alignment with nature’s cycles.
