About Us
Naturally calm pets
Our story...
We’re Nik and Robynn—and yes, we’re a little obsessed with our cat.
But let’s back up... Before calmXtract became a pet-focused brand, it started as a personal mission.
Years ago, when Nik’s gran was struggling with arthritis, he discovered CBD—not as a trend, but as a quiet remedy helping cancer patients.
He gave it to her for pain relief, and something unexpected happened: she felt calmer. That planted the seed...
We began using CBD ourselves—for stress, sleep, and aches. It worked so well, we started sharing it.
Then came Kiara.
In 2023, calmXtract launched—partnering with a small organic hemp farm to offer clean, reliable CBD.
That same year, we created Mellow Kitty and Chill Dog—but our focus was still mostly on people.

Then came Kiara.
In early 2025, we moved to a small farm outside Cape Town. A few days in, a stray cat showed up—not for food, but for connection. We named her Kiara—and she changed everything.
Taking in a stray had its challenges. She bonded quickly, but settling in wasn’t easy. Mellow Kitty helped her calm down and ease into her new home. It made the transition smoother.
That’s when calmXtract’s focus shifted.
That experience—the Kiara experience—is why we pivoted fully to pet CBD. Because it works. For cats, yes—but for dogs, too.
We love animals deeply. Nik grew up with cats and dogs; Robynn with dogs. But life hadn’t made space for a pet—until Kiara.
She cracked us open. The trust she showed. The way she purred herself to sleep by our feet. Suddenly, we understood: “She’s not just a cat—she’s family.”
That’s when calmXtract’s focus shifted.
Humans can say when they’re anxious or hurting. Pets can’t. They hide, scratch, or bark—and often, the only “solution” is chemical sedation.
We wanted better. Natural. Gentle. Safe. Something we’d give Kiara without hesitation.
So we went all in.
Today, calmXtract exists to help your pets feel calm, safe, and soothed—without sedation or side effects.
We focus 100% on cats and dogs because they need it most. Because talking about pets feels better than talking about pain. Because animals deserve peace.
Our products—Mellow Kitty and Chill Dog—are made with clean, thoughtfully sourced CBD. Everything is tested for quality and shipped directly from us to you.
It’s about real pet challenges—anxiety, noise, aging, travel stress—and giving you a simple, natural way to support your furry family through it.
Because your pet deserves calm.
This isn’t just about dropper bottles.

Life’s busy. But pets have a way of slowing things down—bringing calm in the chaos.
We feel it too.
That deep bond. That grounding presence. That quiet nudge back to centre.
That’s why we created calmXtract: to support the animals who support us.
