Pooch & Mutt - Calm & Relaxed Dry Dog Food, Turkey & Sweet Potato, 10kg

This food is fantastic at calming the demons in my border collie's mind. She is a head case with extreme anxiety. She's highly reactive, and cannot cope with strangers, unknown dogs, more than one thing happening nearby, cars or unexpected movement. After 3 years trying every training technique (terrified of the clicker, not interested in treats or toys), compression vest, hoodie etc she'd reached the point where she would launch an attack on my other dog (very patient and tolerant mastiff cross) at every opportunity. My vet prescribed selgian to increase serotonin production and that was simply a miracle in tablet form. She still hates certain sounds, she's still very needy and she still struggles to read body language but she is now able to control her emotional response in conjunction with her training, she doesn't just react. Selgian is rather expensive though so I continued to hunt a sustainable alternative. I found it in pooch and mutt. I can tell by her behaviour the days she's swapped bowls with my other dog and not had her daily dose of pooch and mutt. I've started to give her her main meal in the morning so she's happy throughout the day rather than getting the good stuff before bed. In terms of nutrition, she likes the flavour and she doesn't react badly to it despite having sensitivities with some brands in the past. Only downside is she has gained some weight since starting on it but only a little and it's a small price to pay.

Our Labrador has been on this for years. Highly recommend

Better direct from pooch and mutt

My dogs didn't enjoy it much and I don't think it kept her any calmer than usual. Did arrive quickly and good packaging thoughm

Good for our cockapoo

Good price and quick delivery

I have a spaniel (if you know you know) and I have noticed a huge difference in his behaviour after buying this food. He doesn’t have anxiety or stress but he is just SO excitable like he gets beside himself with excitement at the merest of things and is also very difficult to keep entertained for a long time. Since using this food his manic energy seems to have been cut in half, he’s no longer pestering me all day to play with him even after a long walk and he generally seems so much chiller and happier. Love it, will be keeping him on this for the foreseeable.

In fairness, my dog would happily eat a pair of smelly socks or festering squirrel he finds in the woods; so it's very difficult to rate this based on my dogs willingness to eat it. But, he's been eating this food for ages, gobbles it down in the blink of the eye and has never had any adverse effect (trouble from either ends). So based on that, it seems like a winner. From what I can see from the packaging it seems to be made from reputable ingredients and the price seems great value based on that. With regards to the calming effect... My dog is a Labradoodle, who is as mad as bag of frogs; so it's going to take more than a few herbs to slow him down.

I wasn’t totally convinced that this food was providing a calming effect for my anxious dog… but we have been buying it anyway for the last ~6 months. Then we forgot to order his food on time and have had to blend it with another food, about 1/2 and 1/2 until his order arrives. Once we started diluting his food, he started whining in the car, when driving to the place we throw a frisbee for him, and being very reactive to anyone walking on the street when we are driving. Whereas he had been very calm and controlled before. So, I can now say, without a doubt, that this food does provide a calming effect and changes our very reactive cattle dog into a clam and much more controllable animal. Also, our dog likes the flavor of the food, so there’s not an issue with feeding. Very highly recommended if your dog is overly reactive. It may take about a week of regular feeding to build up in their system, but we won’t be letting his food run out again! Now we have a subscription!

Mein Hund isst dieses Trockenfutter sehr sehr gern. Ich gebe ihm es seit einem Jahr. Es gibt keine Komplikationen.

Gut verträgliches Futter

Ich nutze dieses Futter für unterwegs und als Leckerlis und meine Hunde lieben es.

Meine Dobermannhündin leidet an zahlreichen Unverträglichkeiten. Bisher hatte sie nur Lamm vertragen, aber sie verträgt dieses Futter auch. Nur kann ich nicht sagen, dass es beruhigende Eigenschaften hat.
