K9 Select Melatonin Beef Flavor Calming Dog Supplement, 3-mg, 120 count

My dog will eat just about anything, and yet, he will not eat these chews/pills. I even try dissolving it in water and give it with a syringe, and after 20 minutes in water, it would not dissolve. I am leaving this review for others to learn from my experience and just go buy regular melatonin at the store and hide in in food, since that's what I will have to to with these pills. And I can assure you, my dog is not picky AT ALL. I do want to say something about the issue of "does it work?" -- Read the reviews carefully and fully: if people are buying it thinking it will be a sedative for stressful events like going to the vet or trimming nails, most likely, they will say it doesn't work. Now, for people who have geriatric dogs who are struggling to settle down at night and need some improvement in the quality of sleep, then yes, after taking it nightly for a few weeks, you will see some improvement. But again, it's not a sedative that will make the dog sleep through anything. Also, it's not a replacement for activity and enrichment. If a dog is bored or anxious because of lack of mental & physical stimulation, this won't make them magically calm down and sleep all day. And same as people: it works better for some dogs than for others. You have to give it 2 weeks before coming to conclusions. I do appreciate that these chews have 3 mg of melatonin, which is not easy to find in most calming chews (many have a fraction of it).

It takes the edge off his anxiety and sundowning. Works really well!

These really help to calm her down from her anxiety. Helps her sleep through the night. I give two when I have to leave her home alone. And one at night. So far they've been working.
