VetriScience Calm & Confident Calming Chews for Dogs, Supplement for Stress Support, Thunderstorms, Fireworks, & Travel, Bacon, Soft Chews, 120 Count - New Look

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.

I have tried so many calming products for my dog, and this is the only one that made a real difference. Yes, it smells weird; kind of like dirt and vitamins - but my dog eats it with no problem. No need to hide it in treats.He is 22 to 25 lbs, and we give him one chew twice a day during fireworks season. He still shakes a little, but it is significantly less. It took him from full panic to just mildly nervous. He is calmer, a bit sleepy, and not panicky like before.I also put a sweater on him and a scarf over his ears, but I really think these chews made the biggest difference. Worth it.

Purchased this product for my neurotic and phobic dog, specifically for the recent 4th of July fireworks, but more generally for the daily thunderstorms we experience here in central Florida in the summer.I gave this product an overall rating of 3 stars because the product worked as described when I was able to force-feed it to my dog. It would be an excellent value compared to other similar products IF my dog would willingly take it, but because she will not, makes it useless to us but not necessarily for you. I rated the taste and scent 1 star each and only because 0 stars wasn't an option. The following is my fully detailed review:I don't like the side effects she gets from Benadryl; melatonin (while very helpful) doesn't relieve her symptoms enough.I purchased this product based on the great reviews and good value for the money compared to similar type products. I also wanted something more natural but not in the CBD category due to the recent influx of counterfeit/unregulated products flooding the market.I was thrilled to try this product. I LOVE my dog and she HATES (duh!) taking "medicine." I love the idea of her getting the relief she needs without the daily fight to force-feed her medication only contributing to her fear response. Based on recommendations and reviews, so many dogs seem to love the taste and smell of these medicated treats that I felt excited to try them!My dog was NOT on the "love the taste" team. She took them with ease and excitement on the first day I tried them. I got them in time to do a trial run during a bad storm prior to the few days of fireworks for Independence Day that I knew would cause her constant shaking, stomach upset, and anguish. On the second day, when she would need the relief the most, she would not take them! I tried EVERYTHING to hide them, disguise them, and/or bribe her to take them with no luck. As previously reviewed by many, these have a strong odor that is impossible to mask with cheese, chicken, lunch meat, etc. My dog won't eat peanut butter so I don't know if that would help others.While these are comparatively small for "treats" they are very large as a medication that requires me to essentially shove them down my baby's throat. By the way, I have a small (under 10 pound shih tzu mix) dog so this may not be as problematic for someone with a larger dog. They are also a rough texture making me feel even worse about forcing her to take them without chewing them.Because I discovered this product too late to buy a substitute, I broke them in half and forced her to take them.That all being said, this product seemed to have worked exactly as described! We had the most calm 4th of July we have had in her young 4 year old life! We took our normal steps to help her: stayed nearby, turned the TV up loud, wrapped her snuggly in a blanket when she wanted, offered soothing comfort and support when needed while not making too big of a fuss over her. Her shaking and need to hide was greatly diminished, the constant panting was eliminated, she didn't experience the diarrhea she often gets when having severe phobia. While she didn't love the night of constant booming noises or the following days of idiocy to follow, she seemed far less distressed. I was thrilled with the effectiveness.Unfortunately, for us, this product isn't a consistent option. It might be great for someone whose dog only requires it a couple times a year. Forcing it into our baby on a daily basis for months in the summer will only add to her trauma. Sadly, because I had to use some of these, I don't feel I can pursue a refund or return.I will continue to try to find another similar product, maybe a liquid formulation, for our four-legged friend.I desperately wanted this to work for us. If you want to try it, make sure you don't have a picky eater or be prepared to force-feed it because, at least for my fur baby, she hates the taste! Do a trial run for several days before you really need them, in case your experience mimics my own. Best of luck to you and your family in your quest to find relief for your family pets.I did not receive this product free or discounted in exchange for a review. I found it on my own, researching as you are now.
