Frequently Asked Questions
About PawCalm
How does the PawCalm vest work?
PawCalm uses gentle, constant pressure — similar to swaddling — to help calm your dog's nervous system during stressful situations like thunderstorms, fireworks, travel, or separation anxiety. No drugs, no side effects.
Is it safe for my dog?
Yes. The PawCalm vest is 100% drug-free and uses only gentle pressure therapy. It is safe for dogs of all breeds and ages.
How quickly will I see results?
Many dogs show signs of calm within minutes of putting on the vest. Results may vary depending on your dog's level of anxiety and how consistently the vest is used.
Does the vest cover my dog's ears?
Yes. PawCalm features a built-in hoodie that covers and shields your dog's ears, muffling loud noises like fireworks and thunder.
