Zesty Paws Calming Bites Peanut Butter Flavored Soft Chews Calming Supplement for Dogs

My Shih Tzu has become very anxious in the past few years. I’ve tried so many products to help calm her down (Thundershirt, calming spray, calming collar, and calming treats), even combining some. None seemed to help enough. I bought these to try yet another product hoping it would be different, and wow! These actually work! I gave one to my dog during our family’s Christmas, and she was so calm she was falling asleep even with all the noise! I’m so pleased, and my girl loves the peanut butter flavor!

I have a pittie with serious anxiety issues. So many things set her off into an anxiety attack. I used the recommended dose of 2 chews and it didn't seem to do anything for her, but three works well. They really help. When she has an anxiety attack coming on, I give them to her and in about 15 minutes she's much calmer. These are a Godsend. :)

So my whinny pup 67 lbs ,19 months with separation anxiety crys all the time is taking the two recommended does at dinnertime. But I tried it first on my4 yr old 67 lb dog and one kept him sedated like he was high and mellow for two days at least. He kept licking a wound, and so I tried one. Maybe a half would help but he acted like he was really high. The other dog is at least a bit more mellow but I'm not sure if I should do 3 pcs. But this product does help compared to another brand I gave my dog with bone cancer. I found this item on a forum after my dog had passed. Wish I had known sooner.Glad chewy has it !

I tried these in the past and couldn't really tell if they worked. I ordered them for a foster dog I had coming up who the shelter said had crate anxiety. He destroyed 2 regular non heavy duty crates traveling to vet for heart worm treatment. Gave treats to him 30ish min before leaving for work for several days, watched him on pup cam as I drove to work, he whimpered a bit for a few min but then was fine. Ok let's go to Wednesday, I'm off and another rescue volinteer/foster needs food, so I took food over to her house about 30 min away. Didn't even think to give him these treats because I was just quick running out. Watched him on pup cam and he screamed, whaled, and howled the ENTIRE hour I I tried these in the past and couldn't really tell if they worked.

No doubt he'd have busted out if not in lions crate!!! So yup these treats work because he didn't act like that the times I left after giving him the treats!!! It's not his crate causing anxiety because he'll go in on his own to chew bones or hang out. He has severe separation anxiety! … more

These did absolutely nothing for my dog. We used another brand of calming treats for a few months and it worked wonders. Unfortunately, it looks like that brand has discontinued the product, so I was on the hunt for a new brand. These are not it. My dog does not to like the taste (he eventually eats it, but it's clear he's not into it) and I absolutely hated the smell (very fake, very sweet). On top of that, it just didn't do anything. I've given it to him for two days in a row now, and I almost think they make him more anxious. It's hard to ever know how an individual dog will react, but it's very clear this was a waste of money for us. Do not recommend.

My dog would not eat this as a treat. I had to coat it in peanut butter in order for her to eat it. But it works really well once it starts to take affect. I Will be buying it again.

We usually have a little bit of an issue with peanut butter. I’ve got some kids that I absolutely adore it and other kids that wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. I will say that this particular treat was a hit with all but one dog. And he usually likes peanut butter, so that was weird. I can’t say I noticed any appreciable difference in their behavior, especially the more energetic ones, but with long-term use I’m not certain how that would go. The fact that it was a hit with most of them is a big plus because I think, especially when you have different personalities and different tastes, it can be difficult to find something that they all like.

I got these to help kennel train a teething, psychotic 14 week old GSD. He loves these treats, but they give no calming effect. Moving on to some kind of actual CBD product to help his mouth pain. Would not recommend this product for anything other than as a very expensive option for treats.

My german shep.. is a hyper one full of energy.. This past Thanksgiving holidays i gave him his appropriate amount for a large pup-- and he was calm as ever.. I love these-- But I only give him these when Im having company. I love his hyper energy to keep me going.

Had never tried these calming bites before though. My dog is afraid of fireworks and thunder. Always have to hold him as he's a baby. I do not know how well they work for fireworks or thunder yet as neither of those two things have happened yet since receiving product. I did still give to him though and he loves the taste like usual and they did seem to make him pretty calm and relaxed. He actually took a little nap shortly after so they should help when he gets scared. They have good natural ingredients and did Received for free from bzzagent in exchange for review. Honest review.
