BONIES Calming Formula Mini Dog Treats, 20 count

We had high hopes that these would help in calming our goldendoodle some. Not a miracle, just a bit. This was nothing more than a treat for her. I did read the reviews and for most people, they said it worked. Oh well.

My male dog tends to be hyper-alert and sometimes agro, and I was looking for a calming item that not only would he enjoy but that would also work. So far, so good with these. Despite getting the mini size, I still cut them up (with a pair of kitchen shears) so they'd be bite sized snacks. Worked well, and I'd buy these again.

I’m training my daughters terrier. My “Grand-Dog”, Penny, she’s a bit crazy at times. These helped tremendously. I gave her a mini to just chill her a little, and it was calming. Nothing huge but I could see a difference. (She’s 35lb) If she was really crazy, I’d give Two at a time, this maybe worked to extend the calm for a longer period. I’d say she was mellow. It chilled her enough, so she rested. One day I needed to get things done. I gave her the medium and she dozed for 1-1/2 hours! I was in and out of the room, typically with her at my heels!!! I could get something accomplished. Yay! She didn’t follow me around until she’d had a good doggie nap! I Was thrilled! She’s very smart I’m training my daughters terrier.

This would be great for a nervous car rider, and probably prevent car sickness. I just don’t know how often to give, if it can be repeated later in the day. (?) I don’t see why not but that’s why I use the Mini’s. The mini is great because you can give a small amount and spread the calming a bit longer. If your dog can have multiple!!!!! Just DO NOT Give Mini’s to a large Dog like a German Shepherd or Lab etc. they could just swallow it. They could have multiple medium bones if they are large enough. I’ve reordered already. I think they help and I Love that it’s natural. I’m a groomer, I use lavender on my anxious dogs. It helps tremendously! And I know I can repeat my oil after a while. … more

I have tried EVERYTHING with my puppy (7 month old Golden) who is afraid of fireworks and thunderstorms: melatonin, Ativan, Benadryl - nothing works. I’m not a big “natural remedy” person but I figured, what the heck, and bought the little 2-pack. She fell asleep in like five minutes and woke up in the morning her regular happy self! Bought a big bag and the Hip & Joint ones for my 11-year-old so she won’t be jealous. They smell TERRIBLE but dogs love em! Highly recommend!!!

I got these for my senior dog who is a Jack Russel terrier, she tends to shake and make weird noises and is just overall anxious and sometimes it just nice to find things to calm her down. She doesnt have the best teeth but she didnt seem to struggle eating these. The only reason I dont think I would give this product 5 stars is because, at least for her, the effects didnt seem to last very long. It was like by the time you noticed she was actually calm and relaxed she was on her way back up. Maybe trying a bigger bone with more of a dosage would help but I did notice a differnce with these!

These bones went like a treat to my puppy and absolutely had no effect at all...I got them in hopes to help our puppy on a 13 hour car ride and it did nothing for her :(

This product contains peppermint oil which is extremely bad for dogs to ingest. Although I'm sure it's a very small portion I still did not give it to my dogs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

My PekaChon has only half of his teeth. He played with this calming bone for about a day then he chewed it up. Was very calm afterwards which is what I was looking for. Some stimulation and then some calming for his anxiety issue. He is 13 and is now getting sundowner's syndrome late afternoons. I prefer natural remedies. This worked. And in this size you get 2 bones!!

My little guy loves them and they didn't upset his sensitive tummy. So we're getting some more just in case they help at all with separation anxiety.

I don’t do rawhide with my fur family so I tried these they were loved by my very sensitive stomach shih’s. They actually ate them instead of hiding them.
