We all know how stressful new situations can be for us humans, but for dogs, it can feel like their whole world has been flipped upside down. Whether you're moving into a new house, having guests over, heading to a pet-friendly Airbnb, or just introducing your dog to a new pup on your evening walk, these changes can rattle even the most laid-back dogs. Luckily, my New Home Blend is here to help your dog face all new situations with calm, confidence, and maybe a little wag in their tail.
The Great Doggy Freak-Out: New Situations Edition
Dogs are creatures of habit, and when something disrupts their routine, you might notice some... interesting behavior.
Moving to a new home? Your dog might give you the side-eye as if you’ve just betrayed them by moving their favorite chair.
Boarding at a kennel? Cue the dramatic pacing, whining, and that soulful look that says, "Why are you doing this to me, human?"
Taking a vacation? That cute Airbnb you booked is full of strange smells and noises, making your dog suddenly think they’re on high alert at Area 51.
Having guests over? Your dog, once the picture of poise, now feels the need to bark at every new person like they’re a potential threat to national security.
Meeting new dogs? Your dog might either act overly excited or a little too cautious, unsure if this new friend is here to play or steal their treats.
We’ve all been there. But no matter how your dog reacts to new situations, there’s one thing we all want: to help them feel safe and secure. That’s where my New Home Blend comes in to save the day. Spoiler: it works for way more than just moving into a new house!
What’s in This Magical Bottle?
If I could, I’d call this the “All-New-Situation Blend,” but “New Home Blend” just sounds more poetic. Let’s take a look at what’s inside:
Lemongrass: This essential oil is like a deep breath of fresh air for your dog. It clears away that nervous energy and helps them focus on the positive vibes around them — perfect for any new adventure.
Roman Chamomile: Chamomile isn’t just for sleepy time. It’s a gentle, calming essential oil that tells your dog, “Hey, everything’s fine. You’re safe. No need to panic about that new couch (or those new people, or that new dog).”
Coriander Seed: This adds a layer of grounding and comfort, almost like the smell of home, even when home has changed. It's especially useful when your dog is in unfamiliar territory like a boarding kennel or a new park.
Black Spruce: The earthy, forest-like scent of Black Spruce helps dogs feel secure, like they’ve just taken a peaceful stroll in the woods. This oil is key for helping your dog stay grounded when they’re feeling overwhelmed.
Cedarwood: Ah, the “chill pill” of essential oils. Cedarwood helps relax tense muscles (and minds), helping your dog adapt to the new situation without all the added stress. Whether it’s new house smells or a stranger ringing the doorbell, Cedarwood helps take the edge off.
Mix all of this with fractionated coconut oil, and you’ve got a safe, gentle blend that’s perfect for soothing your dog in any new situation.
But Wait, There's More! (Hint: Crystals!)
And because I love to go the extra mile, every bottle of New Home Blend comes infused with crystals. Why crystals? Because they add a little extra calm energy to the mix.
Hematite: Known for grounding and stability, this is the perfect crystal to help your dog feel anchored when everything around them is changing.
Citrine: Bright and joyful, this crystal encourages positivity and helps your dog feel excited about new experiences instead of overwhelmed by them.
Rose Quartz: The stone of love! Rose Quartz reminds your dog that they’re always safe and loved, even in new situations.
Clear Quartz: This amplifies the energy of the oils and other crystals, making sure your dog feels the full force of calm and relaxation.
Oh, and did I mention? I charge each bottle with Reiki energy for an extra dose of positive vibes. Your dog will practically feel like they’re getting a warm hug, no matter what new situation they’re in.
So, How Does It Work? Let’s Break it Down.
Here’s a little guide on how New Home Blend can make any new situation a breeze for your dog:
Moving to a New Home: Diffuse this blend around your dog’s bed or favorite chill spot in the new house. The calming oils help them adjust to the unfamiliar smells and layout, making the new space feel like home much faster.
Boarding at a Kennel: Before you drop your pup off for boarding, rub a few drops of the blend on their back or chest. It will help them feel grounded and calm, even in a noisy, unfamiliar environment. Bonus: Leave a blanket with a few drops of the blend on it to keep them company!
Vacationing at a Pet-Friendly Airbnb: Traveling with your dog can be fun... until they freak out in the new space. Diffuse the blend or rub some on your dog’s fur when you arrive. It’ll help ease the anxiety that comes with new smells, sounds, and weird furniture.
Having Guests Over: If your dog tends to be suspicious of new people (because what are these strange humans doing in MY house?), diffuse some New Home Blend in the living room. You can also apply it topically before your guests arrive to help your dog feel more relaxed and social.
Introducing New Dogs: Meeting new dogs on walks or at the park can be exciting — or overwhelming. Before heading out, apply a few drops of the blend to help your dog feel balanced and confident. It’ll reduce their anxiety and help them approach new doggy friends without feeling stressed.
Real-Life Stories from Real-Life Dogs
Let me tell you about some real-life success stories featuring the New Home Blend and some spring and summer scenarios we all know too well. These warmer months bring a whole lot of newness — from trips to new places, meeting new pups, and having guests over for BBQs. And let’s not forget the sudden thunderstorms or that one time your neighbor decided to set off fireworks "just because".
The Airbnb Adventure: One of my clients took their dog on a weekend getaway to a pet-friendly beach house. Exciting, right? Well, it would’ve been, except their dog was more interested in pacing the house and barking at seagulls than relaxing by the ocean. After applying a few drops of the New Home Blend to his fur and setting up a diffuser in the living room, the transformation was almost immediate. Within an hour, their pup was sprawled out in the sun, catching some rays and acting like the beach was his second home. From a pacing pooch to a beach bum, all thanks to a little bit of New Home Blend magic.
Backyard BBQ Fiasco: Another client used the New Home Blend when they hosted their annual summer BBQ. Their dog has a habit of getting overwhelmed with large gatherings, and with a dozen new faces (and the smell of hot dogs on the grill), the pup was more than a little stressed. A few drops of the blend on his back, and by the time the guests arrived, he was cool as a cucumber. Instead of barking at Aunt Susan, he was happily lounging in the shade, accepting belly rubs from anyone who would offer.
Meet-and-Greet at the Dog Park: Summer means more outdoor time, and for one dog mom, that meant plenty of meet-and-greet moments at the local dog park. Her dog, a social butterfly on a good day, had become a bit overwhelmed by all the new pups showing up to play. Before their next visit, she applied the New Home Blend to help him stay calm and focused. The result? Her pup was his old confident self again, happily playing fetch and making new friends without feeling overstimulated by the crowd.
Fourth of July Firework Frenzy: And then there’s the summer fireworks saga. One of my clients reached out right before the Fourth of July because her dog was a notorious firework freak-out artist. With loud noises, new people, and the smell of BBQ smoke in the air, it was a recipe for disaster. She used the New Home Blend by rubbing it onto her dog’s fur and set up a diffuser in their “safe space” inside. Even with the fireworks booming in the distance, her dog was relaxed, chilling in his bed like a pro, instead of trying to burrow under the couch.
