It’s also great for stress-related behavior problems and behavior management. Plus, it’s free of lactose and preservatives, making it ideal for sensitives, and contains no prohibited substances.

maybe it worked too well?
By quarterhorsemorgan on Nov 16, 2020
I tried this on my fidgety, unreliable quarter horse to see if it would calm her down for my young neighbor to be able to handle her better. She seemd more relaxed; not nipping at her pasture mate and more approachable for tacking. However, when my friend rode her, she said she acted as if she was overmedicated-would wander off gait and then jerk back into the gait again. Then when she was going downhill she pooked so badly my friend fell off-this has never happened in the 4 years we have had her. So I am not using the medication for now. I am going to have a good equine dental exam to make sure that is not the problem because she has trouble with bits.

Very Helpful
By Horsemama on Jul 27, 2019
While not inexpensive this seems to be doing the trick for our 5 year old thoroughbred that has been on stall rest for 4 months. We tried some other supplements prior to this one but have had the best results so far with this. It seems to have taken the edge of for him and he is not getting wound up over every little thing like he was previously.

Love this stuff!
By Jennifer on Aug 29, 2019
my herd bound, hot mare is now happy in her work and able to focus on the job at hand. Unfortunately it is now a prohibited substance with USEF, so they recommend it be withdrawn 7 days prior to competition.

No noticeable difference
By Farmerjane on Jul 9, 2019 Top 500 Contributor
Firstly let me say that I tried this on two mares that become frantic when separated so did not expect much. There are no instructions other than give 2 packets daily based on weight so added to their feed every morning for 1 week. At 2 packets a day for $120.00+ one hoped for miracles. Maybe a bit calmer but honestly not enough to notice.

Great product
By Happyhorse on Jun 18, 2019
I was so happy to find this product available at chewy. It is the perfect remedy for a horse who doesn’t want to be separated from his herd buddies.

No going back
By Kassee on Apr 11, 2019
I have used this product for 3 years now during show season. Highly recommend. Works terrific on my gelding who can easily get worked up for no reason. In the 'big' show world, this is safe to use and if being tested you will pass as this is legal.

My pooky has come out from his hiding spots.
By RextheCrestedGecko on Feb 5, 2019
Big money saver for multiple cat households IF and that’s a BIG “IF” you are comfortable with dividing it up in to the proper dosage for cats. Cat dosage is just 75mg... these pouches have 2000mg of loose powder. This equine version is apple flavored (small green apple flavor - I tasted it ) that my cats don’t seem to object to. 2000mg divided by 75mg is 26.66 cat doses per pouch.

Calm and cool
By CatTent on Jun 3, 2018
My vet recommended and I did what the instructions recommended to preload two days prior to the stressful situation. I was having a trainer come to help with loading. A horse that had hauled prior but was getting fearful and refusing dangerously. I noticed my guy taking naps laying down in his run and so it definitely calms. I did ride during a nonstressed day and still found there was energy. The day of the training session and he was high as a kite when he saw his phobia. We worked through it but depending on the situation adrenaline might still trump the calming effect. Think it would depend on the severity of the issue. I also don't think I need to pre-dose two days before as that seemed My vet recommended and I did what the instructions recommended to preload two days prior to the stressful situation.

Somewhat satisfied
By Lauriek on Aug 24, 2018
I expected more for the money. It barley took the edge off... but considering I haven't found any calming supplements that work on her, it's still something.

My mares story
By Breezie on Jan 29, 2018
My mare was impossible to give shots to when the vet arrived. I tried everything in training and still she would immediately panic when the vets arrived. She would rear, strike shake etc. We were using dormgel which I would give in advance. As she became wise to that it became more difficult and she would be so heavily sedated I would be with her for hours afterwards. My vet came across this product and gave me a free sample to try. It was amazing. The vet walked right in and gave her a shot as if she never had an issue. She still reacted some to a blood draw but vet walked away 5 min and came back and gave a shot with no trouble. This has saved the vets and so much stress.
