Heat, False Pregnancy or Hormonal Stress?
Hormones can go haywire, which can mean pure stress for female and male dogs alike. Hormonally driven behavioral problems can be an emotional rollercoaster for dog owners.
Hormones are often the trigger for behavioral issues and health topics affecting your dog. These biochemical messengers are produced by various glands in the body and regulate everything from metabolism to behavior.

The Female Dog's Cycle and the Challenge of False Pregnancy
The reproductive cycle of a female dog is complex and goes through various phases such as proestrus, heat and estrus. During this time, the body produces various hormones that can cause behavioral changes and physical symptoms.
False pregnancy is a phenomenon in which a non-pregnant female dog shows behaviors and physical symptoms normally associated with pregnancy. These symptoms can include enlargement of the mammary glands, nesting behavior, increased attachment to caregivers or toys, and even milk production.
Why did nature introduce the phenomenon of false pregnancy?
Nature developed false pregnancy as an evolutionary strategy to increase the offspring's chances of survival. If a female dog is unable to give birth to or care for her puppies for any reason, other females from the pack can step in to nurse and care for the puppies in such cases. False pregnancy thus enables a female dog to take on the role of a substitute mother if necessary.
Hormones that can cause stress
Besides sex hormones, stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol also play an important role in your dog's life. An imbalance in these hormones can lead to long-term problems such as anxiety and excessive alertness.
Support for Male Dogs Too 🐶
It's not just female dogs who are affected by hormonal issues — male dogs can also suffer from the effects of this natural cycle. The Balance Liquid offers a natural solution to this problem by helping not only female dogs but also male dogs become calmer and more relaxed.
No more stress during heat!
Constant marking, restlessness and nervousness — that's how Garados behaved whenever female dogs were in heat. He felt constantly drawn to the other female dogs and wanted to sniff everything. I felt like he never settled down anymore. Since he's been getting the Balance Liquid, he's much calmer, sleeps better and is less stressed. I'm truly delighted! A simple support for my Garados!
