The Big Bang Theory actor owns a dog business, named “Oh Norman!” after one of her dogs, selling supplements, treats, and toys. Cuoco recently revealed on The Tonight Show what happened when she tested one of the supplements herself.
She was testing a liquid supplement called “Calm the Eff Down,” which is targeted towards dogs who are stressed and is meant to be used in various circumstances such as going to the vet or when fireworks are going off.
“Just FYI, I did try it when we started this,” she told the talk show’s host Jimmy Fallon. “I wanted to make sure I could say that... I didn’t want, like, humans to, like, die.”
“I wanted to make sure we could take it,” she added.
The Flight Attendant actor then was able to clarify that the product did work on her as she said she was “out for three hours.”
“It’s all-natural, I did take it, I tested it on myself, and I really did calm the eff down,” she said. “It was great. I was out.”
Fallon then decided to interrupt to offer a disclaimer to the show’s viewers that just because Cuoco used the product herself doesn’t mean that others should do so.
“We’re not recommending humans take the product,” he said.
Cuoco has previously talked about her love of dogs, particularly rescues. “Obviously I rescue dogs, and everyone knows that about me, but I’ve really expanded to farm animals and even Thoroughbreds and horses off the track,” the actress said in an interview with People in May.
She has taken this love for all kinds of animals and put it into her ranch in Thousand Oaks, California which includes horses, donkeys, chickens, goats, cows, and pigs. “Really anything with four legs is welcome here. We don’t turn anyone away. It’s become this magical place,” Cuoco said.
Recently, she made a video on Instagram where she discussed why she had to rehome her late dog, Shirley.
The Based on a True Story actor admitted that Shirley violent and would get into fights with every dog that wasn’t Norman, who inspired her dog-care brand.
“And when the love of my life came into my life, Tom, who is also a mega dog lover, and he moved across the country with his beautiful German Shepherd, Blue, a couple years ago, unfortunately, Blue and Shirley started getting into some mega fights,” she said.
“I loved her so much, but I was really scared,” Cuoco said. “I didn’t want something really bad to happen or possibly a person accidentally be there and get hurt.”
Cuoco clarified that despite rehoming her dog, she wanted to make sure that she went to the right home. “I didn’t want her to end up in a home that didn’t understand her because she is so special and I’ve had her for so long,” she said.
Shirley was then taken in by Cuoco’s pet handler, Tony, and his wife, who kept her until she died from a “very aggressive bone cancer.”
