Has anyone heard of using Magnesium as supplement for support with anxiety/ stress/ aggression etc issues? A woman I briefly met with last weekend who works with aggressive shelter dogs swore it works to help calm many dogs she's worked with but I couldn't find much information on it (for this purpose) aside from a supplement called Nupafeed Calmdog that uses it as the main ingredient. CALM DOG SUPPLEMENT | CANINE MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENT FOR DOGS | DOG CALMER
The above supplement is pretty expensive and I'm guessing human grade magnesium could also be used but I wouldn't want to guess at dosages or if there are other risks to using it. As an aside, I also know this wouldn't take the place of training or other methods for dealing with dog anxiety or aggression but if there is a healthy supplement that could helps support "calmness" it could potentially be helpful. I've also seen other supplements/ treats that promote calm but they have a lot of different ingredients things in them and usually have chicken in them as well, which is an allergy no-no for my dog who is on a limited ingredient diet. Thanks!
