VetriScience Calm & Confident Chews, Composure Clinically Tested Calming and Anxiety Supplement for Dogs, Reduce Stress and Fear, Ideal for Thunderstorms, Fireworks and Travel, Chicken, 60 Count

These actually work, but in our house Pandora needs about 3 at a time to really see a difference. Once we figured that out, they helped take the edge off and made her noticeably calmer. Easy to give and she doesn’t fight taking them.

These work like a charm. It's amazing. Bella is a 10-year-old Belgian Malinois who is extremely excitable, stressed, anxious, and ornery. Nothing has worked to settle or calm her down. Even prescription anti-anxiety meds didn't help her. I am on our third or fourth bag, and I will not go back to how it was before these calming chews for all of our sakes. A month ago, I forgot to order a bag, and we went a few weeks without them, and she returned to her old anxious ways. We are a week back into the routine, and we are starting to see the calm take effect. She is still a busy Malinois, chases squirrels and lizards, and barks at people passing by, so it does not sedate her, but you can tell that she is more comfortable sitting and relaxing. She has a focus and composure that we have NEVER experienced, and she obeys her command so much easier than without the chews. The chews are easy to use, and I usually put them in her food. They are medium soft and look like a little piece of meat. She didn't love them at first, and I had to smash them up a bit and mix them in, but now she takes them whole with no issues. The smell when you first open the bag is strong, but I think letting them "air out" a bit before I give them to her helped.

My dog really liked these "stinky" treats (that is dog language for they smell and taste wonderful). Although it was hard to pinpoint if they had a calming effect or not, I was giving them to her during a visit to my mom's where we have to leave her in the house without her crate (it doesn't fit at my mom's place) and we had no problems with her crying or getting into anything. She was a little more settled than usual, though, not sedated, just a little "zen", and I think that might have been the Composure having an effect on her. I am a long time veterinarian and wouldn't give her a product where I didn't trust the brand or the science behind the product. The best calming products work not by drugs but by following sound behavioral principles. The Composure treats have a patented colostrum complex that is supposed to evoke the safe feeling of a puppy with its mother, similar in fact to the concept behind pheromone products like D.A.P. (dog appeasing pheromone) and Comfort Zone. In fact, using the pheromone collars, plug-in diffusers, and sprays, along with this product could produce an additive effect. I was also using the Comfort' Zone spray at my mom's house. Recommend the Composure treats because they are a highly palatable, high quality product with good science behind the ingredients, and they may help your dog feel calmer, especially with chronic rather than occasional use. Veterinarian strongly recommends.

Doesn't work but makes okay little treat

I have a senior dog who started developing pretty bad separation anxiety as he got older. He used to cry a lot whenever he was left alone. I started introducing these chews slowly and worked up to the full dose, and they’ve made a huge difference. He’s much calmer, less anxious, and way more relaxed overall. He also actually enjoys the chew and has never had any issues eating it, which is a big plus. I’m honestly so glad I found this because it’s helped him so much, and you can really tell he’s more at ease now.

My dog hates being in the car. But he's a trooper. He doesn't whine, bark, or act up. I went on a road trip with my dog. Even though he's a trooper, I wanted to give him something to take the edge off, so I bought these so-called "calming chews" about 30 minutes before I started driving (just like the instructions say). it did nothing to calm him down. I could tell he was just as nervous as he usually is while in the car. Things got horrible about five or six hours into the drive. He started shaking uncontrollably. I didn't know why at first, but when we stopped at a rest stop and he started with the diarrhea, I knew it was because of this product because: 1) Even though he hates being in the car, being in the car doesn't mess with his bowels, and 2) the "calming" chew was the only thing different about his diet. The poor little guy was shaking because he will not pee or poo indoors or in a car. He was holding it for hours. I felt horrible. He went on to diarrhea poo four more times that day. Each one progressively more liquid than the last. My dog has never had such liquid poo. It looked like a gushing fire hydrant of liquid poo. Each time this happened I had to clean his bottom because he has long hair and the diarrhea got all over it. So no, there was nothing calming or relaxing about these chews. If anything just one of these chews completely ruined this leg of our journey. To make things even worse, now my dog associates this horrible feeling he had with my car. Now he won't even jump into my car. I have to pick him up and put him inside. Thanks for nothing, VETRISCIENCE. If you risk it and decide to buy this product, beware: it indicates no refunds or returns. I had to chat with customer service to get a refund. Luckily I don't have to send back this vile back of poisonous evil and it won't upset the stomach of some other unsuspecting pooch.

Ich kann natürlich nicht garantieren, dass es an den Leckerli liegt, aber meine Maus ist extrem ruhig, wenn ich sie ihr vor z.B. Auto- oder Zugfahrten gebe. Ich bin jedenfalls sehr zufrieden.

Molto buona ma non la trovo più.

These worked for my shih tzu. She is bothered by loud noises on a regular basis. We are still experimenting with giving 1 pill daily then an extra when an event happens or just 2 whenever an event happens. So far pleased with the results.

This works really well for my cocker spaniel who is terrified of thunder storms and fireworks. Much better than meds prescribed by my vet!

it would appear that when I do use it, my boy is a bit calmer, I do not use it daily, more on a needs be basis, but they must be great tasting, because he loves them, for his weight, I give him x2. shame they have to come from so far away.
