The formula known today as Rescue Remedy was originally used by women in Victorian England for stress relief (it is rumored that Cate Blanchett used it at the Oscars when she was up for Best Actress). However, it is now often applied to dogs. The formula can be pipetted into the dog's mouth (Rescue Remedy can be bought for dogs in a bottle that comes with the proper tools for this) and allow the dog to relax. The degree of relaxation is proportional to the amount of Remedy given, and Rescue Remedy is safe even in large amounts (i.e. overdose is very unlikely); however success is also dependent on the individual dog, as well its breed.
