VETRISCIENCE Calm & Confident Chews, Composure Clinically Tested Calming & Anxiety Supplement for Dogs, Reduce Stress & Fear, Ideal for Thunderstorms, Fireworks & Travel, Chicken, 60 Count

Does not work immediately, as it does need to get in the dogs system. I purchased this because I work from home and sometimes my dogs get too rowdy and loud. I gave this to my dogs, one each, for two days and by day 3, wow did it really kick in. It definitely keeps them calm and mellow. 100% will be giving this to them on the regular. One of my dogs hate the taste, and she literally eats anything and everything, so I’ve had to trick her into eating it, but it works. They are both very high energy dogs, and they nap all day with this. I will say at first it gave them severe diarrhea, just like if you change an animals food, but all is good now. Worth it!

This is the best dog & cat calming chew on the market made in America.! Believe me I have tried so many, but this one really calms my two dogs. I have a 60lb mix lab pit and a40lb Bull Terrier Target Dog. They relax during vet visits, horrible fireworks & thunderstorms. Let me further say, I use these when I dog sit my sons 65lb Schnauzer and the 7lb poodle mix. 4 dogs can be a wild bunch of hounds. To settle them down for night time rest for " me" they get 2 chews each and the little one half of one. They totally calm down and relax to sleep given that the home is dark and they also are tuckered out from playing all day. Please Believe me when I say these are the Best Chews. I've tried the chicken and peanut butter flavors. They line up for these chews! No allergies from its ingredients that are purely natural and safe. I told my Vet I used these and she agreed they work on her 8 dogs she rescues herself and travels with them to from work with them allDon't look any further. TRY THESE! Use the subscribe option with Amazon and save money. Follow the recommended amount to feed them to your pet. These also are available for Cats for you Cat lovers. Good luck and let those tails wag with calming joy!!!

I have two rescue dogs. One is what I can only kindly refer to as "anxious". And being 1/3 pit, she leans into her anxiety with a whole lot of barking and fake aggressive behavior. (She sure does do her best impression of mean.). My second dog is confident, but incredibly energetic and has a hard time self regulating. A family member who has a veterinarian recommended these. They work very very well. Within approximately a half an hour you can noticeably watch both dogs "volume" turned down and their bodies relax. Only giving them four stars however because if you give it to them every day or the highest dose amount, sometimes it can upset their tummies a little. Also the new chicken flavor is more a pill than a treat to their palates.

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.
