Storms roll in. Carriers come out. Your dog paces. Your cat hides.
Situational stress hits pets fast, and it hits pet parents just as hard.
A calming spray for dogs and cats offers a simple, non-sedating way to ease that moment. No pills. No stress on you either.
Stratford Animal Care brings you Relaximal™, a calming spray built for the everyday triggers that unsettle pets the most.
What Is a Calming Spray and How Does It Work?
A calming spray is applied to bedding, carriers, or crates to help create a more settled environment for your dog or cat during stressful moments. It is not a sedative. It works with your pet's normal routine, not against it.
You will not spray it directly on your pet. Instead, you apply it to the spaces around them, the crate blanket, the car seat cover, the carrier liner.
That distinction matters. Environmental application supports comfort without altering your pet's normal behavior chemically.
Common Situations Pet Parents Use Calming Spray For
Every pet reacts differently to change. Some triggers show up again and again.
- Car rides and travel days
- Veterinary visits and waiting rooms
- Grooming appointments
- Thunderstorms and fireworks
- Moving to a new home
- Introducing a new pet or family member
If your dog trembles before car rides, or your cat bolts at grooming time, you already know this feeling. You want a simple next step. That is exactly why this collection exists.
The Stratford Animal Care Difference
Stratford Animal Care gives pet parents direct access to the same veterinary-channel product line trusted by practices enrolled in our Veterinary Account program. You get that channel quality without booking a clinic visit.
Our Relaximal™ Calming Spray is manufactured in the United States, inside NASC-audited facilities. Every batch follows the same quality standards our veterinary partners rely on.
That is the real difference here. Mass retailers sell dozens of unfamiliar brands. We give you one formula, sourced through the veterinary supply channel, without the markup or the appointment.

How to Choose the Right Calming Spray
Not every situation calls for the same approach. A few things to consider before you buy:
By pet. Confirm the product label lists your pet's species and any usage guidance for kittens, puppies, or senior pets.
By trigger. Occasional stressors, like a single car trip, need less frequent application than recurring ones, like weekly grooming visits.
By routine. Spray bedding or carriers a few minutes before the stressful event begins, following label directions exactly.
Always read the product label fully before first use. Directions vary by formula and bottle size.

When to Talk to Your Veterinarian
Calming spray supports situational, everyday stress, not diagnosed behavioral or medical conditions. If your pet shows persistent anxiety, aggression, or a sudden behavior change, those signs can have several causes.
A veterinarian can help identify what is actually going on. Do not wait if the behavior feels out of character or worsens over time.
Pair situational products like this spray with daily wellness support from our pet vitamins and supplements collection for pets that need broader everyday care.
