I have five Shih Tzu, and one that is a little jealous, and often picks a fight with the others. I have tried other products, but the Aggression Formula is the best. ... It really works. I am so glad I found this stuff. - Judi, IL, USA

What is Aggression Formula?

Aggression Formula is a safe, non-addictive, FDA-registered OTC remedy formulated especially for pets, containing 100% homeopathic ingredients to calm anxious and highly strung animals, and also to reduce aggression levels and related problem behavior in highly strung and nervous pets.

Especially aimed at pets that tend to bite, scratch or otherwise attack either humans or other animals, Aggression Formula helps to treat the problem of aggression in socially stressed pets and allows your pet to relax and enjoy the company of other people and animals. It can be used regularly for the chronically aggressive and stressed animal or when needed when aggression and stress become a problem. 

Aggression Formula comes in convenient, dissolvable granule form. Safe and easy to administer, these pleasant tasting granules are simply sprinkled on your pet's tongue and rapidly absorbed in the mouth — making them easy to administer.

Aggression Formula may be administered daily or used occasionally for pets that need it only for specific situations. If there is difficulty administering directly in the mouth, the granules may be sprinkled in a favorite treat.

All PetAlive homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in a FDA- and GMP-registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).

Aggression in pets

Well-behaved and sociable pets are a delight, but some animals have difficulty interacting with other pets, children or strangers. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including upbringing, socialization problems or past experience. A pet that displays signs of aggressive behavior can be very alarming. Many owners tear their hair out trying to control their errant animals while at the same time trying desperately to find a reason for their behavior.

Although some breeds are definitely more prone to aggression problems than others, experts say there are usually underlying reasons for their behavior, such as fear, insecurity, stress, routine problems relating to breeding, jealousy, past abuse, illness, physical discomfort or pain.

Aggressive behavior can be limited to specific situations such as the dog that barks or attacks the postman, or it can be unpredictable, which is even more worrying.

Aggressive behavior in dogs can include biting, barking, snarling, snapping and raised fur along the back of the neck and along the ridge of the spine.

Aggression in cats can include scratching, biting, excessive yowling, lunging, hissing, spitting and destructive behavior.

The natural way

There are many things which can be done to soothe your pet and reduce aggressive behavior. Here are some tips:

• Aggression is often associated with dominance. Consult an animal behaviorist for insight into your pet's problem.
• Remove aggression triggers if possible. If your dog is aggressive around food or bones, feed him on his own in a different room.
• Keep aggressive animals away from small children even if they have never bitten anyone before.
• If a normally calm animal suddenly becomes aggressive, consult a holistic vet as soon as possible for a complete physical check-up, as there may be underlying health problems.
• Have there been any recent changes in your pet's environment which may have triggered his aggression? Changes such as a new baby or a job that keeps you away for longer periods than before may be the explanation.
• Regular exercise is a good outlet for pent up emotions and will help to keep your pet healthy and fit. But keep your dog on a leash at all times and consider investing in a muzzle if necessary.
• Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). Many behavioral problems can be related to an inadequate diet. Some experts say that animals that are prone to fighting may be eating too much protein. Speak to your vet about introducing more carbohydrate (e.g. rice) and vegetables.
• As a last resort, neutering your male dog or cat may help to control aggressive behavior.
• There are many herbs which have been traditionally used to maintain nervous system harmony for soothed behavior. Used as part of a holistic approach, these can make all the difference to your pet.
