Zesty Paws Calming Chews for Dogs Composure & Relaxation for Everyday Stress & Separation Peanut Butter 90 Count

Pup likes these and definitely seemed to work.

I was very skeptical if they were going to work for my dogs. One is a medium sized Pug and the other a medium sized Chihuahua. I gave them the treats as recommended on the packaging. The first day I gave it to them about 30 mins before I was going to leave. I had just taken them out and they were on an empty stomach. In literally a few minutes my pug was calm and chill on my bed. Normally she's pacing back and fourth scratching at my thighs and wimpering when I'm getting ready to leave. However with the treats she stays calm and just lays on my bed watching me get ready. I don't know how long they lasted because I only give it to them when I leave for work (I work 8 hrs) and when I came back home they are back to normal. My Chihuahua was also very calm she doesn't pace she just cries when I leave but the treats helped calm her down and she just laid on the couch. The second day I gave them the treats with food and they didn't work at all so maybe the trick is to give it them on an empty stomach before they eat. My pug doesn't always like the treats but she eats them and my Chihuahua will spit it out at first but then eat it when I walk away. I suspect they don't taste super good. They smell like a combination of dog treats and herbs. They also crumble easily so if your dog doesn't have strong teeth they can still chew it and if they have no teeth you can crumble them and feed it like that. All in all I will definitely order again once they are finished cause they work and I'm happy.

Our 14 month dog is very noise sensitive and alert barks a lot. Sometimes she'd get herself so worked up she'd be barking every 5 minutes at any noise, and unable to relax and nap. She's also scared of anyone coming to the door, and certainly anyone coming inside the house. I was getting to the end of my tether, and feeling so bad for her that she seems so anxious all the time. We have been using these for five days now, and I have also been prioritising working with her to reinforce calm through out the day (I work from home). And I've been marking and treating her every time there is a noise that could make her nervous. I noticed a difference right from the first day of giving her a Calm Chew. She seemed less wired, and certain noises that she would normally bark at were being ignored. Now 5 days in, her alert barking has decreased by about 80% from the days when it's particularly bad! It will take longer to train her not to be scared by people coming to the door of course, but I've even noticed that she doesn't get quite so worked up and I'm able to get her to listen to me (whereas before she was simply going crazy barking and not taking any notice of me at all). I've gone from being in tears of frustration at the constant barking, to feeling optimistic that we're moving forward in teaching her how to be relaxed and happy and calm! Which, as anyone who has experienced having an anxious dog knows, is like the sun coming out again after weeks and months of clouds and rain haha. I'll certainly be continuing with these chews and purchasing again when they run out. I think that, combined with proper training, they are a godsend.

Our dog is extremely hyper while I’m not one to throw meds at an animal these are all natural I would rather play with my dog and tire her out but there are times where others need to sit with her or I mostly use these at bedtime they’re not designed to knock out your dog but to calm them and they’re all natural but they relax her enough that she will settle down. They work good. 👍

Border collie was calmed down a little. Was intended for use to help her travel better. Shih Zu didn’t even seem like it affected her. Was used to help her anxiety while getting groomed.
