Calming Support for Anxious Dogs
Anxiety in dogs is far more common than many owners realize. From thunderstorms and fireworks to separation anxiety and travel stress, many dogs experience fear and stress responses that affect their quality of life. While behavioural training and environmental management are important tools, nutritional support can play a meaningful complementary role in helping anxious dogs feel more settled.
ImRex GABArex Calming Oral Solution is a veterinary-formulated liquid supplement designed to support calm behaviour in dogs. Made by Imrex Inc., a Canadian veterinary product manufacturer, GABArex is available as an easy-to-administer oral solution in 60 ml and 120 ml sizes. The liquid format is ideal for dogs that resist chews or tablets, and the solution can be added directly to food or water for hassle-free daily use.

How to Use
Administer GABArex Calming Oral Solution orally or mixed into food. Follow the dosing instructions on the product label based on your dog's body weight. For situational anxiety (storms, travel), begin dosing 1–2 hours before the anticipated stressor for best results. For ongoing anxiety, consistent daily use typically produces the best outcomes over time.
Supplement Advisor's Note
Calming supplements work best as part of a broader anxiety management approach that includes environmental modifications and, where appropriate, behavioural training. For dogs with severe anxiety — particularly those that injure themselves or cause significant property damage — a conversation with your veterinarian about prescription anxiolytic options is warranted alongside any supplement use. Liquid formulations like GABArex offer a practical advantage over chews for dogs that are food-selective or have dental issues that make chewing painful.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I see results?
For situational use, administer 1–2 hours before the stressor. For chronic anxiety, allow 2–4 weeks of consistent use to assess the full effect.
Can I give GABArex alongside other medications?
Always consult your veterinarian before combining calming supplements with prescription medications, particularly sedatives or anti-anxiety drugs. Some combinations require professional guidance.
Is this safe for puppies?
Consult your veterinarian before giving calming supplements to puppies under 6 months of age.
What is the difference between the 60 ml and 120 ml sizes?
The 60 ml bottle is ideal for small dogs or for trying the product before committing to the larger size. The 120 ml size offers better value for ongoing use or larger dogs.
