Does your dog get stressed during fireworks, thunderstorms, or road trips? Calming Chamomile Gelatin Gummy Dog Treats are a gentle, homemade solution that can help soothe nervous pups with simple, wholesome ingredients.
|| Why Chamomile for Dogs? ||
Chamomile is known for its mild calming and anti-anxiety effects in both people and pets. When infused in dog treats, it can comfort anxious dogs and even settle upset stomachs. Adding a hint of powdered ginger to the gummies provides extra digestive support, making the treats especially thoughtful for nervous or travel-stressed pups.
|| Crafting the Perfect Dog Treat ||
Start by using a cup of cold, unsalted and unseasoned stock or a dog-friendly liquid. Sprinkle gelatin over it and let it hydrate for a few minutes. Gently heat the mixture until the gelatin dissolves, then steep chamomile tea bags or dried chamomile right in the warm liquid. Steep for 5–10 minutes, then pour the mixture into silicone molds or a shallow dish to cool and set. The result: easy-to-portion gummies with a gentle floral aroma and a chewy, irresistible texture.
|| Customizing and Serving ||
These gummies are as flexible as your dog’s needs. Adjust the flavor by choosing broth, water, or a blend. Make them firmer or jiggly by tweaking the gelatin amount. They’re portable for travel, easy to serve as a quick comfort, and can be stored in the fridge. Plus, they’re perfect for making treat time fun by using different shaped molds or creative flavor infusions (as long as ingredients are dog-safe).
|| Safe Snacking and Extra Tips ||
Always use plain chamomile and be mindful of any allergies. Treats should never replace a balanced diet; moderation is key. If homemade stock isn’t available, opt for plain, unsalted varieties, and steer clear of artificial additives. These gummies can even be adapted for human snacking—just swap out the broth for water and sweeten to taste—but never use chocolate or any ingredient unsafe for dogs
