This product gave my dog terrible diarrhea. The product arrived quickly and there was no damage to the package. I have a very anxious dog who I was giving Zesty Paws Calming Bites that helped with her anxiety. Decided to try these ones from Vetriscience because I used them in the past with another dog and they worked great. I don't know if they changed the formula or this is a bad batch but my current dog got sick from them and horrible diarrhea for a full 24 hours after only having two chews which is the recommended dose for her size. I even gave them hours apart, starting with first one and it didn't help her, so I gave another a few hours later. Since I opened the product and dog tried two Amazon won't let me return the item. I don't know what the issue was with these, but I will not be trying them again and now will have throw out what remains because I don't know if there's something wrong with them.

This stuff is the bomb for my dog! For 7 years she and I have endured thunder, sonic booms (we have a lot), and fireworks (we have a lot) with her panting and shivering for hours on end. Poor thing! Not even CBD helped. Then someone recommended this type of product. I am BLOWN AWAY at how effective these chews are, both immediately and when used as a preventative! She is a happy, happy dog now despite the dangerous sounds!

works real well calming my dog down, he is very hyper and needs to just settle down a bit and this does it for him and it's not a drug

Unfortunately, I didn’t see any difference in my dog’s behaviour .And considering the product is not cheap , I would think twice before purchasing.

I was given a three month old Yorkie puppy for Christmas and boy was was I in for a treat! He weighed in at a whopping 2# and had separation anxiety. He didn't deal well with being kenneled, it was a nightmare. I dreaded putting him to bed every night because he would cry and bite his kennel for hours.I addressed my concerns to my vet and she suggested these chews. Actually, it was the same brand but a different chew. I saw that these were long lasting so I decided to try these instead.It takes a few days for it to build in their system, just like any supplement. Once in his system, it would take at most 10 to 15 minutes to calm him. They do work quickly and are long lasting. Sometimes even a little cat nap...lolIt does have an odor when he tinkles, but it's worth the benefits.I would definitely recommend these chews.

I have two rescue dogs. One is what I can only kindly refer to as "anxious". And being 1/3 pit, she leans into her anxiety with a whole lot of barking and fake aggressive behavior. (She sure does do her best impression of mean.). My second dog is confident, but incredibly energetic and has a hard time self regulating. A family member who has a veterinarian recommended these. They work very very well. Within approximately a half an hour you can noticeably watch both dogs "volume" turned down and their bodies relax. Only giving them four stars however because if you give it to them every day or the highest dose amount, sometimes it can upset their tummies a little. Also the new chicken flavor is more a pill than a treat to their palates.

I have used Composure for over 10 years for various reasons and I have had very good results. I have used it on a rescue dog that had been run over by a car and had be treated badly for the first few years of her life and it was a lifesaver for her as she got use to her new home and learn to trust. I've used it with the dogs that are afraid of storms and firecrackers which helped calm them and now one of my rescue dogs is 100% Blind and is already hyperactive at times - so I use it to help calm her down so she doesn't run full speed into the walls or furniture. Def. recommend. It is not an immediate result and not a sedative and all dogs are not the same ...

Worked for my little chihuahua who was traumatized by a failed surgery …The veterinarian gave me a weeks worth to try at night and I noticed aDifference in her being able to sleep so I ordered a package for her ..Good price here on Amazon when compared to the Vets office ….

wir sind vor jahren von unserem tierarzt im ausland darauf gebracht worden. weil unsere beiden ehemaligen strassenhunde, die wir beide als welpen bekommen haben, in ihrem verhalten unabhängig von einander sehr ängstlich und nervös waren. wir geben es ihnen nun seit über 3 jahren täglich, seit sie bei uns sind. insgesamt sprechen sie, wenn sie dies bröclchen in leckerliartiger knochenform bekommen haben, nicht mehr so schnell und unmittelbar auf sie ängstigende und störende aussenreize wie schrilles geschrei durch kinder, plötzliches rascheln im laub, hupen und viele andere, für uns kaum hörbare aussenreize, an und sind dabei aber keines falls "zugedoped" . sie sind beide voll da, freundlich und gelasener und können besser mit solchen aussen- und umweltreizen umgehen. wir werden dieses "zeug" was z.t. collostrumartige bestandteile in der rezeptur vorweisen kann, immer wieder und weiter geben, denn es verhilft unseren beiden hunden zu einem angstfreieren leben und damit zu einem andere menschen und tiere in ihrer umwelt weniger störenden verhalten. dosierung 1-2 stücken täglich als belohnung z.b. fürs morgendliche saufen oder fresschen leer essen. beide hunde haben so mehr spass an ihrer umwelt und konnten das erlernte gelassenere verhalten bei einigen reizen inzwischen gut einordnen und z.t. sogar abbauen. wir werden es ihnen wohl bis an ihr lebensende weiter geben, wenn es ihnen dabei hilft, erwachsene gelassene hundefäuleins zu werden/sein..die Bröckchen sind in einer wasserdichten dose mit druckschraubverschluß vor feuchtigkeit geschützt auf zu bewaren und können in form von leckerlies gegeben werden. unsere grosse hat seitdem nie mehr am ganzen körper gebibbert, wenn für sie in menschenmengen das stimmgewirr nicht mehr differenzierbar und somit beängstigend wurde. klare kaufempfehlung!

Purchased this product for my neurotic and phobic dog, specifically for the recent 4th of July fireworks, but more generally for the daily thunderstorms we experience here in central Florida in the summer.I gave this product an overall rating of 3 stars because the product worked as described when I was able to force-feed it to my dog. It would be an excellent value compared to other similar products IF my dog would willingly take it, but because she will not, makes it useless to us but not necessarily for you. I rated the taste and scent 1 star each and only because 0 stars wasn't an option. The following is my fully detailed review:I don't like the side effects she gets from Benadryl; melatonin (while very helpful) doesn't relieve her symptoms enough.I purchased this product based on the great reviews and good value for the money compared to similar type products. I also wanted something more natural but not in the CBD category due to the recent influx of counterfeit/unregulated products flooding the market.I was thrilled to try this product. I LOVE my dog and she HATES (duh!) taking "medicine." I love the idea of her getting the relief she needs without the daily fight to force-feed her medication only contributing to her fear response. Based on recommendations and reviews, so many dogs seem to love the taste and smell of these medicated treats that I felt excited to try them!My dog was NOT on the "love the taste" team. She took them with ease and excitement on the first day I tried them. I got them in time to do a trial run during a bad storm prior to the few days of fireworks for Independence Day that I knew would cause her constant shaking, stomach upset, and anguish. On the second day, when she would need the relief the most, she would not take them! I tried EVERYTHING to hide them, disguise them, and/or bribe her to take them with no luck. As previously reviewed by many, these have a strong odor that is impossible to mask with cheese, chicken, lunch meat, etc. My dog won't eat peanut butter so I don't know if that would help others.While these are comparatively small for "treats" they are very large as a medication that requires me to essentially shove them down my baby's throat. By the way, I have a small (under 10 pound shih tzu mix) dog so this may not be as problematic for someone with a larger dog. They are also a rough texture making me feel even worse about forcing her to take them without chewing them.Because I discovered this product too late to buy a substitute, I broke them in half and forced her to take them.That all being said, this product seemed to have worked exactly as described! We had the most calm 4th of July we have had in her young 4 year old life! We took our normal steps to help her: stayed nearby, turned the TV up loud, wrapped her snuggly in a blanket when she wanted, offered soothing comfort and support when needed while not making too big of a fuss over her. Her shaking and need to hide was greatly diminished, the constant panting was eliminated, she didn't experience the diarrhea she often gets when having severe phobia. While she didn't love the night of constant booming noises or the following days of idiocy to follow, she seemed far less distressed. I was thrilled with the effectiveness.Unfortunately, for us, this product isn't a consistent option. It might be great for someone whose dog only requires it a couple times a year. Forcing it into our baby on a daily basis for months in the summer will only add to her trauma. Sadly, because I had to use some of these, I don't feel I can pursue a refund or return.I will continue to try to find another similar product, maybe a liquid formulation, for our four-legged friend.I desperately wanted this to work for us. If you want to try it, make sure you don't have a picky eater or be prepared to force-feed it because, at least for my fur baby, she hates the taste! Do a trial run for several days before you really need them, in case your experience mimics my own. Best of luck to you and your family in your quest to find relief for your family pets.I did not receive this product free or discounted in exchange for a review. I found it on my own, researching as you are now.

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.

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