Pet Naturals Calming Cat Chews, 30 count

Love this stuff, due to a previous situation (a not so good one) I learned my cat has high stress and anxiety and they wanted me to give her a prescription and I just wasn’t comfortable with that. So I found this and thought I would try it, great decision. It’s works pretty quickly maybe 30 min. I don’t know how long it lasts but long enough I’d say. It helped her through living with a cat she hates, moving to a new environment, and now me leaving for work for the day. She’s crazy for it, she loves it like a treat!

I had hoped this would take the place of my kitty’s daily fluoxetine, as well as the mandatory Gabapentin for her veterinary visits (we are still in what is curbside service at vet clinics due to Covid, so I cannot be with her inside the clinic, so she has to be mildly sedated). Unfortunately, she refuses to eat these chews. I place a tablet in with her treats or dry food, and she seeks it out and puts it on the floor. She categorically refuses to partake.

My cat has a lot of separation anxiety and I got these hoping that I could give them to him before I left for work to help him feel more calm while I'm gone during the day. Unfortunately after eating it once he decided he did not like it and no matter how I've tried to hide it or give it to him he will not touch it. It's unfortunate cuz I was hoping it would help

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 anxiety issues, and got too smart to take his pills (even in pill pockets, cheese, chicken, etc.). We were able to wean him off of his pills using these, and they don't make him drowsy and lazy like the pills did. The only issue is when he's really stressed he won't eat them, which is a bit counter productive. We have to be able to predict when he wants them.

My granddaughter and her cat moved away last month and Boris has been so needy since then. He is constantly climbing on me, and pestering me even though I give him attention and play time. Tried this one afternoon and he was much calmer. I've only given him one, but I will be using them on fireworks nights too!

Some nights my kitten is going crazy like a normal kitten, and I have to be up early the next day for work. I’ll give her one of these calming chew treats, and within 15 minutes she’s snuggled up next to me in bed, purring and ready for sleep. Highly recommend these to anyone! Also works well if your cat gets anxious on car rides, going to the vet, etc.

I purchased this for my formally feral kitten who adopted us. I did not think she cared for them; however, one day I discovered the packet on the floor (due to my children). Kiki had tried to tear into it. So I have been giving her a chew each day and have had calmer, sweeter behavior out of my girl! I am hoping that one a day isn’t too much?!

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.
