Before Use
Check the patch. Keep it contained. Begin with observation.
Before introduction
Check CalmCore™ before use. The patch should remain closed and undamaged before it is placed within The Essential.
During placement
Place the patch fully inside The Essential’s inner pocket so the botanical layer remains contained during wear.
First introduction
For a first introduction, begin with a shorter wearing period and observe how your companion responds before extending use.
A small check sets the boundary.
Extra Caution
Some companions and situations require additional caution before CalmCore™ is introduced.
Leave the patch out until the situation is clear.
During Use
Once CalmCore™ is worn, there is little you need to do — keep it contained, continue naturally, and observe.
Keep the botanical layer where it belongs.
Botanical companion patch
Contained
Keep it contained
CalmCore™ should remain fully inside The Essential’s inner pocket throughout wear. There is no need to remove, open or reposition the patch while it is being worn.
No testing. No forcing. Just observation.
When to Stop
If something changes during wear, pause first. Check the patch, the wearing setup and your companion before deciding whether to continue.
Wet
If it becomes wet
If CalmCore™ or The Essential becomes noticeably wet during wear, remove the patch and check its condition before continuing.
Stop before adjusting.
A pause is part of considered use.
Patch Condition
CalmCore™ should remain closed, dry and structurally intact while it is being worn. If that condition changes, pause and check the patch first.
The condition of the patch determines what happens next.
Dry & intact
Ready to remain within
If the patch remains closed, dry and undamaged, it can stay fully contained inside The Essential’s inner pocket during wear.
Based on patch condition
If you think any of the contents may have been swallowed, move directly to the accidental ingestion guidance below.
Accidental Ingestion
Treat a damaged or opened patch differently from ordinary wear. Remove access to the material first, then seek veterinary guidance.
Keep the next steps simple and clear.
Remove the damaged patch and any loose botanical material from your companion’s reach.
Keep the remaining patch, packaging or product information available so you can explain what may have been swallowed.
If you think any material may have been swallowed, contact your veterinarian for advice. Do not try to induce vomiting unless a veterinarian specifically instructs you to do so.
Do not improvise
Remove access. Keep the details. Seek veterinary guidance.
Storage & Handling
Simple storage keeps CalmCore™ protected before the next time it is worn.
Keep it protected
Keep CalmCore™ in its sealed storage until you are ready to use the patch.
Protect from moisture
Store the patch and its packaging away from moisture between uses.
Away when not worn
Store CalmCore™ and its packaging somewhere your companion cannot reach or chew.
Protected before use. Contained when worn.
Sealed. Dry. Out of reach.
Final Safety Note
CalmCore™ is designed to sit quietly within The Essential. Safe use begins with simple observation — before, during and after wear.
The safest routine is often the simplest one.
Begin with an intact, properly stored patch.
Keep CalmCore™ fully within The Essential.
Pay attention to your individual companion.
Stop and check whenever something changes.
CalmCore™ is a botanical companion patch and is not a substitute for veterinary care.
If you have concerns about your companion’s health or whether use is appropriate, seek veterinary guidance before continuing.
