Does lemon balm actually help anxious dogs?

The rare calming herb that's been studied in dogs and what the research really says.
Most calming herbs marketed for dogs have never actually been tested on dogs. Lemon balm is the rare exception.
In this episode of 5 Minute Dog Wellness, host Anna digs into a 2025 study on lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and what it found: dogs given a daily extract got calmer over a few weeks - without the grogginess or "zoned-out" look that comes with sedating a dog. She unpacks the three findings that actually matter for pet parents: why the benefit builds over time rather than working like a switch, why the whole plant may matter more than any single compound, and what "calm, not knocked out" really means. She also keeps it honest about the study's limits: it's early, promising research, not a magic fix, and where a supplement fits versus when it's time to call your vet.
A quick, science-first look at one of the most interesting calming ingredients out there.
