Formula Origin
“Before moving from California to our New Mexico ranch, where we have lots of room for our dogs to run, we had to take them to the local dog park for exercise. Observing the dogs at the park I noticed many, regardless of breed, fell into three groups. There were the older dogs that didn’t run around and play much as they had obvious hip issues and joint pain in general. Then there were the dogs that were constantly stopping to scratch, licking their paws and chewing on themselves. You could see their red, irritated bellies, hot spots and bald patches. Still a third group were the nervous dogs, hiding behind their people. Like most community dog parks, before too long everyone knew each other, where they lived and what they did. Knowing about my bioformulas for people, pet parents came up to me asking if it would be okay to use Joint Health for their dog, or Anxiety Relief, Enviro Defense or Skin Health. I knew they were safe, and they were just as effective for dogs as they were for people. When my circumstances finally allowed me to develop formulas specifically for dogs, it was a no brainer which ones to start with. That was the birth of Maxwell Pet Calm & Happy, Hip & Joint and Skin & Allergy.” – Dr. Garber, D.C., Ph.D.
Bioformula Ingredients
All of Dr. Garber’s bioformulas are made with certified Organic, Wild-Harvested, Non-GMO, and Gluten Free ingredients.

Gemmotherapy
Ash Tree buds (Fraxinus excelsior)
The pharmacotherapeutic properties of these buds range from anti-inflammatory and antioxidant to antimicrobial and neuroprotective.
Gemmotherapy
Fig Tree buds (Ficus carica)
These buds have a calming effect on nervousness. They specifically help balance a dog’s nervous system and psyche, while also alleviating stress and helping with sleep.
Gemmotherapy
Lime Tree buds (Tilia tomentosa)
Lime Tree buds have often been used as a sedative, and studies have shown that the tomentosa buds mimic the effects of GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), the neurotransmitter in the brain that inhibits excitability and acts as an anxiolytic (a drug that reduces anxiety).
Gemmotherapy
Silver Birch seeds (Betula verrucosa)
These seeds have long been used to treat a depleted nervous system and lack of energy. They have also been used to treat various inflammatory diseases.
Lithotherapy
Lepidolite
This Litho contains several minerals, including lithium, which helps to normalize a dog’s mood by maintaining proper levels of serotonin, the brain chemical that helps reduce anxiety behaviors.
Lithotherapy
Tourmaline
Tourmaline also contains lithium, as well as many other synergistic minerals, that evoke a strong relaxation and calming effect on the entire canine nervous system.
Organotherapy
Cortico-Hypothalamic Axis extract
This extract keeps an animal’s Autonomic Nervous System in balance, thereby regulating their emotional responses to the outside world as well as situational stress.
Organotherapy
Hypothalamus extract
The Hypothalamus controls the body’s hormones. In technical terms, the hypothalamus releases a hormone known as the corticotropin-releasing hormone, which then stimulates the anterior pituitary to release the adrenocorticotropic hormone—which essentially determines how a canine responds to stress.
