VETRISCIENCEComposure Calming Chews for Dogs - Clinically Tested Dog Anxiety Relief Supplement with Colostrum, L-Theanine & Vitamin B1 for Stress, Storms, Separation & More, 60 Count, Bacon Flavor

I started these about a year ago, maybe two. As my dog has aged, he just turned 14, he’s gets more and more restless and agitated. He’s been checked out by the vet, there’s nothing particularly wrong, he just roams and paces and seems like he can’t settle. I tried several prescription medications, including trazodone and Prozac, and some herbals, also from the vet… Some of these had contrary reactions, making him hyper, like trazodone, some didn’t seem to have any response, like the herbal, and Prozac made him a highly sedated stumbling idiot. Anyway, I finally found these Composure treats on my own and they have been enormously helpful. I give him two at about 3-4 PM when his restlessness usually starts or peaks, and then I give him another 1 a few hours later or as late as 9 PM. They don’t sedate him or knock him out at all, they just chill him out. He just seems more comfortable in his little doggy skin after he’s had a couple of these. I read a couple reviews where people’s dogs had bad reactions like diarrhea, and I know how that is, there’s nothing worse than dog diarrhea, except for maybe nuclear war, and to those people I say I feel bad for you and your dogs, but it’s not really fair to then warn off everybody and everybody’s dog just because your dog had diarrhea when it ate these treats. All dogs are different, just like people, and just because one or some dogs get diarrhea from a treat doesn’t mean all dogs will. Chicken gives my dog diarrhea, but some people probably feed their dogs chicken all day long and have no problem. Anyway, I don’t write a lot of reviews. I just think this is a great product that more or less saved my sanity and I love Vetriscience products in general, I feed my dog about five different types of Vetriscience products and have had great luck with all of them. And no, I don’t work for them and no, I’m not an influencer and no, nobody gave me any money to write this, I actually did it out of the kindness of my heart! :-)

One of my dogs is absolutely petrified of thunderstorms. we live in Florida this happens often with this product keeps him calm. his anxiety level decreases I definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a dog with anxiety.

I think these work well, overall have no complaints. My dog enjoys them.

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.

My vet recommended these. I have a 80 pound pit mix, High anxiety ! For rain , thunder, any unknown noise, everything it seems .We are living in an 5th wheel while our house is being built. EVERY NOISE is amplified in an RV . After trying so many products, sprays , thunder shirts , calming collars, ect . I gave him the recommended dose. These work AMAZINGLY! Within a short amount of time, maybe 20-30 minutes. He was asleep on the couch. Heavy rain and thunder happening . Our boy dog takes them with no hesitation. Peace in our home again. Highly ,Highly recommended

Worked for my little chihuahua who was traumatized by a failed surgery …The veterinarian gave me a weeks worth to try at night and I noticed aDifference in her being able to sleep so I ordered a package for her ..Good price here on Amazon when compared to the Vets office ….

wir sind vor jahren von unserem tierarzt im ausland darauf gebracht worden. weil unsere beiden ehemaligen strassenhunde, die wir beide als welpen bekommen haben, in ihrem verhalten unabhängig von einander sehr ängstlich und nervös waren. wir geben es ihnen nun seit über 3 jahren täglich, seit sie bei uns sind. insgesamt sprechen sie, wenn sie dies bröclchen in leckerliartiger knochenform bekommen haben, nicht mehr so schnell und unmittelbar auf sie ängstigende und störende aussenreize wie schrilles geschrei durch kinder, plötzliches rascheln im laub, hupen und viele andere, für uns kaum hörbare aussenreize, an und sind dabei aber keines falls "zugedoped" . sie sind beide voll da, freundlich und gelasener und können besser mit solchen aussen- und umweltreizen umgehen. wir werden dieses "zeug" was z.t. collostrumartige bestandteile in der rezeptur vorweisen kann, immer wieder und weiter geben, denn es verhilft unseren beiden hunden zu einem angstfreieren leben und damit zu einem andere menschen und tiere in ihrer umwelt weniger störenden verhalten. dosierung 1-2 stücken täglich als belohnung z.b. fürs morgendliche saufen oder fresschen leer essen. beide hunde haben so mehr spass an ihrer umwelt und konnten das erlernte gelassenere verhalten bei einigen reizen inzwischen gut einordnen und z.t. sogar abbauen. wir werden es ihnen wohl bis an ihr lebensende weiter geben, wenn es ihnen dabei hilft, erwachsene gelassene hundefäuleins zu werden/sein..die Bröckchen sind in einer wasserdichten dose mit druckschraubverschluß vor feuchtigkeit geschützt auf zu bewaren und können in form von leckerlies gegeben werden. unsere grosse hat seitdem nie mehr am ganzen körper gebibbert, wenn für sie in menschenmengen das stimmgewirr nicht mehr differenzierbar und somit beängstigend wurde. klare kaufempfehlung!

Mon chien, un berger allemand, est de nature très nerveuse. Et ce cette gâterie m'a vraiment aidé; c'est le petit coup de main qu'il me manquait pour m'aider avec son programme d'entraînement pour chien réactif. Et elle agit vraiment en 30minutes, sans rendre le chien amorphe juste plus calme.

it would appear that when I do use it, my boy is a bit calmer, I do not use it daily, more on a needs be basis, but they must be great tasting, because he loves them, for his weight, I give him x2. shame they have to come from so far away.

Love this product! Has helped my dog with separation anxiety so much
