Pet Naturals Calming Cat Chews, 30 count

I purchased these tidbits because one of my kitties stopped using the litter. Unlike most kitties, she stopped using the litter after I cleaned it. I did some research and found that, unless a cat is sick, stress is the main reason that a cat stops using the litter. I thought I would try these Calming Chews to get my kittie to calm down. They worked. After giving one of these to my errant cat for 2 days, she finally went back to using the litter. The only thing that concerns me is that the package states that these treats do not cause drowsiness. In my kitties, they do cause drowsiness. In fact, the chews really knock my cats out if I give each of them a whole treat. They end I purchased these tidbits because one of my kitties stopped using the litter.

For my kitties, I have to break them into 2 pieces and give one of the pieces to each cat. A whole treat is too strong for my cats. This is the reason I gave them 4 stars. I want my cats to calm down, I don't want them to get stoned! Also, unlike the kitties in the other reviews, my cats love these chews. Some reviewers said that the chews are too hard to break with your fingers. I've found some of them are soft enough for me to break with my fingers. Others I need to cut with a knife. Overall, I would recommend these for doing a good job for helping your cats to "decompress". However, I would recommend breaking them down into smaller pieces in the beginning to see how your cats react to them. They really are quite potent. … more

My cat has general anxiety and spends much of the day walking around the house howling and getting into everything he's not supposed to. We've tried diffusers and collars and nothing helped until we found these calming treats. I give one to him in the morning when he starts to get worked up and sometimes another one later in the day if he's struggling a lot that day. Usually, within 5-10 mins he calms down and sits quietly. It's been a lifesaver, especially for our other cat who has to tread carefully around his moods. Our cats are very food driven and don't have a problem eating these at all.

There is no issue with the cats eating these. They are a bit hard but not as hard as I thought from some reviewers. It would be easy to break them in half in my fingers. They are fish shaped. They have a strong vitamin odor to me, but my two cats do not turn their noses up. They are calmer over all but I also bought the Comfort Zone collars for them and I have a feeling that those are what did the trick. As in amazing change overnight for both of them. See separate review. I added these at the same time, but I think it's probably the collars since they keep trying to lick each other by the collar haha.

Purchased to quell stress between 2 furry "kids". The instigator, at just 6 pounds, ate the first chew & slept off the rest of the day. When I attempted 2 or 3 times after that to get her to take 1/2 of the chew she turned her nose up at it. I tried to soften with a little water (no go) & then covered it with a squeeze up treat..she just licked the bisque off the chew. My conclusion is that not only is it too hard for her to chew but evidently doesn't taste good enough to tempt her.

These treats work wonderfully for my female feline who is quite sensitive (she tends to scream and hide) around other animals. I give her a treat every morning and it has helped immensely in keeping her calm. These also help keep my oldest feline perfectly chill. Cats r like snowflakes imho in that they r all beautiful as well as different so ymmv

My two cats ate one each as soon as I opened the package. It seemed to work! No more chasing and fighting, they were calm cats. They did not eat any more after that. The chews remind me of heartworm medicine. Huge, hard, smells like medicine. I tried cutting them up and mixing them with other treats, my cats ate around each piece. So, yes the product seems to work but my cats will not touch them again.

the smell of them is like medicine most cats that are very picky and may have been through trauma or whatever if they can smell something that don't seem right to them they're not going to eat it there are days that my cat will not eat this I have to give it to him when he's very hungry but otherwise I can't give it to him and I have to fake it and mix it up with food he don't like the smell of it it smells like medicine and most cats do not like that but otherwise I'm using the product and I thank you what I normally get you don't sell so I have to take what I can get I don't want to seem negative but I have to be very honest.

do not buy this terrible product. There is "Soy" in this and that is very bad for your cat's joints, muscles, and lifespan. make sure to find products without soy, wheat, corn, oatmeal, or preservatives. This could cause your cat stress, bad eating habits, and other bad side effects.

I would like to give this product 5 stars, but the treat is always too hard for my cat to eat as it is not very soft, so I have to break it in half in order for him to eat it. Sometimes he likes it, and at other time he looks at me and walks away. When he does it eat, it will work for a bit of calming.

I was looking for soft chew calming treats and when I received these they were hard, but I thought maybe just frozen with cold weather. That was not the case they are very hard cat's won't eat them. I even put in water to try to soften up .
