VetriScience Calm & Confident Chews, Composure Clinically Tested Calming and Anxiety Supplement for Dogs, Reduce Stress and Fear, for Thunderstorms, Fireworks and Travel, Peanut Butter, 120 Count

I'm so incredibly relieved and happy with these Calming Chews for Dogs! My furry friend can get quite anxious during thunderstorms, fireworks, or even car rides, and I've been searching for something effective to help him. These chews have been a game-changer.First and foremost, my dog absolutely loves them! He thinks they're a delicious treat, which makes administering them incredibly easy – no more struggling to get him to take something he doesn't like.More importantly, they really help him during stressful times. I've noticed a significant difference in his demeanor. He's much calmer, less panting, and generally more relaxed when he's taken these before a stressful event. It's not a sedative, but it definitely takes the edge off his anxiety, allowing him to cope much better.From a practical standpoint, the price is great. I was used to buying similar calming supplements directly from my vet clinic, and these are a way better price without compromising on quality or effectiveness. Plus, they arrived fresh and well-sealed, ensuring potency and palatability.If you have a dog that struggles with anxiety, I highly recommend giving these a try. They're effective, affordable, and most importantly, dog-approved!

These treats have really helped my doggies with their separation anxiety and even toned down some of my cattle dogs resource guarding. She’s noticeably more relaxed when I leave the house and not as tense around her food and toys with my other dog. I love that they are yummy to them and they look forward to taking them. I’ve noticed no drowsiness just a more calmer vibe for both of them. The big bag with 120 is a good value since I give them each 1 a day for 3-5 days a week and I’ve already seen such a positive difference even on days they don’t take them. Also I looked into the ingredients and brought the bag to the vet with me and she was happy to see that these were pretty clean with ingredients and said she would look into recommending these to other pets that saw!

This product works great! Calms our puppy right down. However, disappointed in the new packaging on the order I received earlier. All the pieces were broken. My next order was in the old packaging and all pieces were whole. Will continue to use this great product. I have just received a new order and it is the new packaging. I have not opened it yet so we will see what happens.

We have a 3 year old mixed breed rescue who is very high energy and suffers from separation anxiety and is just generally anxious. I have to give her sedatives before taking her to the vet, and she still requires at least 2 vet techs to hold her for the doctor. I've tried several calming treats as well as a thundershirt and none had any obvious effect on her. We did have the pheremone plug in for a while and I thought it MIGHT have helped a little, but it was barely perceptible.These are the first calming product that really seems to work on her. Don't get me wrong, she doesn't get SUPER chill, but she is markedly more chill than normal. When family members come home she normally goes bonkers, jumping all over them, squeal-whining, getting in their faces trying to give them kisses. She goes especially nuts over my husband coming home from work. The first day I gave her these, she still greeted him excitedly at the door, but there was hardly any jumping. She circled him, wagging her tail with her usual vigor and still whined a little, but it was such an improvement.What I really like is that she just seems like she's more relaxed the same way she does after a good long romp with other dogs at the dog park or doggy day care, or a strenuous hike somewhere with lots of new smells. She doesn't have a bunch of nervous energy, but she doesn't seem groggy or sleepy like she does when given sedatives. It seems to genuinely act as an anti-anxiety treatment, not just something to dope her up and make her sleepy like treats with melatonin or tryptophan or actual prescription sedatives are meant to do. I think that's why those things don't work well for her, they might make her sleepy, but her mind is still racing. That probably feels even worse, imagine feeling scared that something bad is going to happen, on edge and hypervigilant, but also struggling to keep your eyes open. No wonder she still freaks out at the vet.One other thing I want to mention is that she has a very sensitive stomach, she gets loose stools very easily, has to be on a specific food and I also add fiber to her daily meals. I got the peanut butter flavor because she can't have chicken and I know she handles real peanut butter fine. She's had no changes in her potty habits since starting these, and I generally give her the full dose for her weight most days. (2 treats per day, she weighs around 60lbs.)If your pup is jumpy and wound up all the time, I would definitely recommend giving these a try. I hope that with regular use, as she experiences her days without so much anxiety, she will come to feel less nervous in general without the supplement. But if I have to keep her on these long term, I prefer that over having to put her on prescription meds.

These did not seem to have a calming effect, and my dog threw up that night. She doesn’t have a sensitive stomach and was totally fine after that, so I worry it was these. They also smell really bad.
