Together with Ursula Wilke of Tierheilpraxis Wilke, we have developed special herbal blends that provide excellent support for dogs with specific health issues, using CBD and other carefully selected natural ingredients—tailored perfectly to each dog’s individual needs.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at our LESS STRESS herbal blend —designed to help with anxiety and nervousness—and explore its key ingredients!
Why CBD PLUS? The purpose of our herbal blends
The goal of our CBD PLUS herbal blends is to harness the power of nature to provide your dogs with the greatest possible help and support. Many of you have been giving your dogs additional supplements alongside our CBD products to address their issues from multiple angles. This idea inspired us to create our new line of dietary supplements, “CBD PLUS.”
Our CBD PLUS herbal blends are distinguished by their unique synergistic combination of various nutrients, which are perfectly balanced to promote the health and well-being of dogs. The best of nature—combined in a handful of carefully selected ingredients—available in a single blend.
Collaboration with animal naturopath Ursula Wilke
These products were developed in collaboration with animal naturopath Ursula Wilke. Ursula has been working as an animal naturopath and nutritionist since 2021, caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and she knows exactly which ingredients have proven effective in practice.

Our LESS STRESS herbal blend for anxiety and nervousness
The LESS STRESS formula was specially developed to reduce anxiety and stress in dogs. The unique combination of valerian root, hemp leaf powder with natural CBD, lemon balm leaves, ginkgo leaves, hop flowers, chamomile flowers, and brewer’s yeast—a natural source of vitamin B—gently soothes and supports your dog’s well-being. Simply sprinkle the herbal blend over your dog’s food. The dosage is designed so that the daily intake of the herbal blend covers the baseline CBD level. Additional CBD, such as our hemp oil or our nacanis, can be added to their diet.
7 beneficial and soothing ingredients to help relieve anxiety and nervousness in your dog
01 Valerian Root
Valerian is a wild plant that grows to a height of one to two meters and is found in many parts of Europe, as well as in parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Known in the Middle Ages as a powerful protective herb, it is now regarded as a medicinal plant that promotes general calm, with the actual calming compounds found in the root. Among other things, the root contains the flavonoid linarin, which interacts with nerve cells and is responsible for the primary calming effect. When combined with the lemon balm leaves, hops, and chamomile flowers also included in the blend, valerian reaches its full potential.
02 Hemp Leaf Powder
As a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in mammals, CBD is also found in hemp leaf powder and helps reduce the release of stress hormones. Made from the leaves of the hemp plant, the powder is also enriched with various nutrients, such as minerals and antioxidants, and contains a wide range of vitamins, including vitamins A and C.
03 Lemon Balm Leaves
Lemon balm, whose medicinal properties were already known in ancient times, contains essential oil that not only gives it its lemony scent but also has various effects on the body. Lemon balm has a relaxing, anxiety-relieving, and balancing effect when used both internally and externally.
04 Ginkgo Leaves
The ginkgo tree, native to China and now cultivated worldwide, is a true all-rounder in its dried form:rich in vitamins C and E, and with its high content of ginkgolic acid and ginkgolide, it promotes blood circulation. This, in turn, supports nerve function, improves concentration, and accelerates stress relief in the brain.
05 Hop Cones
Used not only since the Middle Ages as an ingredient in beer production, hops are a medicinal plant classified as a member of the cannabis family. The female inflorescences are harvested; they contain essential oils, bitter compounds, flavonoids, and tannins, which have a calming and relaxing effect. Hops are therefore ideal for providing relief from restlessness and anxiety.
06 Chamomile Flowers
The herbaceous chamomile, which can be found along roadsides or in fields and looks quite unremarkable at up to half a meter tall, is probably the most thoroughly researched medicinal plant of all: its flowers contain essential oils and flavonoids such as quercetin, which have a calming and tension-relieving effect on the central nervous system and have therefore been used in medicine since time immemorial.
07 Pure Yeast
Pure yeast, which has the highest content of B vitamins, is obtained during the processing of brewer’s yeast and can then be processed into its characteristic powder in a way that preserves the vitamins. The vitamins it contains, such as biotin, support energy metabolism, promote the production of neurotransmitters, and are important for the regeneration of nerve cells.
