Catnip
It’s not just for cats. If dogs sniff or eat it, it has relaxation properties and can even aid sleeplessness.
Chamomile
Dogs suffering from anxiety or skin/stomach upsets will be attracted to this plant’s scent.
Clary Sage
This one is good for high-strung animals.
Lavender
This pretty purple plant helps to reduce anxiety and other nervous conditions.
Mint
This fragrant plant lifts a dog’s energy and freshens his stinky doggie breath if he eats it. While spearmint and peppermint are good choices, avoid pennyroyal, as it can be toxic to dogs.
Violets
Nervous dogs may enjoy sniffing these happy little flowers.
