VetriScience Composure Behavioral Health Bite-Sized Dog Chews

These are not hardcore anxiety pills so you cannot expect those results. They also are NOT the same formula as Composure Pro chews that your vet has. The veterinary formula is stronger and contains Tryptophan, so if you can get it through them it will provide better results. However, I have still seen great improvement with my little anxious dog using these. It works best when given once daily so it has a chance to build up in their system after a few weeks, but then give an extra one 30 minutes before a stressful event and it will help mellow them out. Definitely recommend, just give them time to work.

So have been giving 2 for my 70lb dog in the morning. I see absolutely no difference. Still super high strung, nervous, pants and cries if he is on the other side of a door from me. He is impacting my other dog with his nervousness while walking him. We have a calm Cane Corso but he reacts as part of his breed only due to the other one being so nuts with growling and hair standing etc when other dogs are close. Tried Prozac and no way! Barely ate for 2 weeks.

My dog (schnauzer, rescued) is very nervous and anxious, he also gets really scared of thunderstorms so I bought this two years ago. When a storm is coming I give 2 of them and he starts calming after 30min approximately. It’s not a strong calming pill, it just relaxes him a little bit, and sometimes it causes him to get asleep for a while. I use this instead of stronger medication.

I’ve used this product for sometime I don’t know that it really helped. Recent order was opened last Monday and I thought my little dog was having a reaction to the grass while we were outside, the next evening she reacted the same in what now appeared to be hallucinations, (I recorded her behavior) both evenings I stayed up with her, holding her in a blanket to keep her from eating at her paws, this was so distressing and I do hope the manufacturer reads this.

My 11 year old pit mix has some territorial issues that we have worked on with a trainer, but she still gets mouthy and barky and upsets herself when certain other dogs come near. We tried to give her one of these and it did nothing. So we tried giving her two at a time every day (about 30-45 mins before the 'dogging hour' as we call it, aka the hour long parade of dog walkers through our neighbourhood). It still did nothing. It had no effect on her. We went through the entire bag with no change. Bummer, I was hoping it would work. Good thing was she really liked the taste!

My 44 lb pit has some anxiety issues and my dog trainer recommended finding an calming treat. I read the reviews and it was either spot on for people or just a miss, which is fine - every dog is different. Unfortunately this was a miss for my dog. I may not be using it right as i give him one a day when i know it will be a stressful day for him but he didn't calm down on them.. Oh well, it was worth the try! He does like the treat itself so we just gained another treat. This particular treat worked for a lot of people, just not us. :)

Our young border collie often gets anxious and will pace back and forth if we are not able to get him outside every 4 hours or so. He requires lots of attention and while we have toys to exhaust him, training becomes difficult when he begins to get that anxious feeling. He takes these every morning and I can see such a difference! He is no longer pacing back and forth as much and training him has become so much easier. We love that he seems to feel better and is able to enjoy more of his day rather than pacing around or getting skiddish.

I had a little Chihuahua for a while I gave him these to try to calm him down when I put him in crate, these really didn't work for him, he went crazy, I let the 30 mins go by to see if it would kick it, nothing. I have a puppy now I gave her one to see if they would calm her (she had been taken on a walk and played with prior) but they also didn't work on her. I guess it's a hit or miss judging from reviews.

My vet recommended this to help our highly anxious dog. I tried it for a week without any results so bought a second bag to double up dosage with hopes that would help. Unfortunately, neither single nor double dosage makes any difference in curbing his anxiety during walks. My dog really enjoys them as a normal treat, but at $16 per bag without any calming effects, he will just have to stick to his regular kibble for treats.....

I have an ACD rescue mix who is so reactive/borderline aggressive towards strangers. After giving her these, she’s more calm on walks and seems more calm in general. I’ve been doing it as a daily treat and it seems to be helping a little bit. I tried many other calming treats & cbd and none of those worked so I’m glad these seem to be making a slight difference. Will continue to buy.
