Pet Naturals Calming Dog Chews for Medium & Large Dogs, 30 count

During the disastrous Texas Winter Storm, we were forced to live in a large downtown busy & noisy hotel because we had had 4 inches of water in our downstairs, no electricity & no water for weeks. We had lived a very quiet life and our 2 sweet senior dogs jumped at every door slam, late night drunk party people & early-rising business folks. We had used this product for Fourth of July & bad thunderstorms previously, but the treats became a nightly routine while in the hotel & gave our fur babies a way to transition to the new noisy normal! We highly recommend this product.

I have tested out different calming treats for 2mos now and tried these on numerous days (1 day on, 1 day off) for little over a week. She was abnormally hyperactive. I have never seen a product for calming do exactly opposite effect but tested enough to know it was THIS product. Do not recommend.

My dog is a relatively bug dog so sometimes it may take two chews, but they do help keep her nerves calmer and help her from stressing out. They also help her sleep more solidly through the night which is a blessing as she has a sleep disorder that is worsened from lack of sleep. It has helped me to actually lessen the REM sleep attacks she has and gives her a more normal day to day.

My dog frequently roams the house at night, so I give him one calm chew and he gets the rest we all need. They're great! He's a lab retriever mix.

My 60lb dog is high energy. Sometimes she gets overly excited even for her. I tried these in hopes that it would help settle her at those times of increased compulsion. It made her worse. She literally ran off and when I got her back she whined and carried on quite frantically and pointlessly for hours. I have never seen her act like she did about 30 mins after giving her one of these "treats" and have not seen it again since. Definitely not a good idea for my dog.

We have five dogs and one is usually out of sorts about something. I have noticed that when we give the treats to the pups they seem to chill out just a bit. They do seem to enjoy the taste and get excited about getting the treat. I’m not sure about whether or not they were truly calm a dog for very long but it seems to provide them a little treat to calm them for a few minutes. It did not call them during recent fireworks displays, but it does seem to work under normal every day stressors.

I started by only using 1/2 of a chew to see how they would work for my aging dog. That seemed to work really good for her to get her to sleep restfully without being so agitated/nervous. I'll see what happens during thunderstorms, July 4th, etc. and maybe 1 full tablet will be needed then.

I tried two different containers for my lab and noticed no difference with the dosage suggested. I even tried adding an extra in with no change in stress level.

These chews worked pretty well for my noise reactive senior dog. As she gets older, she’s been getting worse about sounds bothering her. I gave her a couple of these during the last thunderstorm, and she calmed down enough to let us sleep.

I am very pleased how well these work for my 9 month German Shepherd. We give these to him at night and they work very well. I really feel like it helped transition him to sleeping in his crate without feeling upset or anxious. We also give these when traveling and it's just enough to make the ride enjoyable for him. He enjoys eating them too.
