I started purchasing yeeeears ago to help my Pomeranian, a mill rescue. I honestly had little hope this product would work, my dog had severe anxiety and phobias, it took me three years just to get him to remotely functional - I felt it likely that only something pharmaceutical would help. While I am not against that, when it isn't an emergency quality of life or safety issue, I like to address nutrition and overall health in addition to behavior and environment first, and to try naturally derived, non-prescription things first. I was so wrong, and wished I had tried Quiet Moments from the start! NaturVet Calming Moments helped my Pom achieve a pretty normal, very happy life. (He never got over some things, like being more reserved with strange humans than is normal, or being anxious about sudden loud noises, like dropped objects. That's nothing, this dog tried to live entirely under my clawfoot bath tub at first and would urinate if given my direct attention - not kidding about the severity of this case!) When he became an advanced senior, he began to struggle with canine cognitive decline. NatruVet's calming 24/7 support chews helped him then. We were able to spend nearly 16 years together happily, and I don't think that would've been possible without the support of these calming products to go with our behavior work and management. Since they worked wonders for my own dog, I began using them with my grooming clients - I've been grooming 20+ years and specialize in low-stress, one-on-one grooming for dogs with issues ranging from grooming trauma to physical disabilities. You can't learn when your system is in fight or flight mode, meaning that I couldn't teach many of them that grooming did NOT mean force, fear, and "get the job done ASAP" regardless of the living being involved. Quiet Moments (with guardian consent) was a game-changer in allowing dogs to reach and maintain a level of calm that let them build positive experiences and greater comfort and toleration of grooming. Again, this was used with science-backed behavior work, and was an invaluable tool. (My Pomeranian also helped, he spent all of our years together, ironically, showing grooming visitors that everything was alright! The calm, happy presence of another dog demonstrating safety and security in the environment really helps!) I have also been a professional pet sitter for decades, and these calming products are amazing at easing noise phobias and helping those who struggled with the "first night without my parents" transition. Now, I have a (recently) 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog and Australian Shepherd cross. Called Texas Heelers, they're a purpose-bred cross of cattle working dog popular in my area. So popular that it's now harming them, people can't handle this mixture easily, and miniaturizing them hasn't helped. (Mine is a miniature at 23lbs.) This combo wasn't ideal for me either - now 42 and with a chronic illness - but when no one wanted the coyote-looking "plain" (read as "non-merle or tri") puppy left out of 15...well. I ended up with a 6-week-old baby dingo creature. He's in an experienced and educated home, so there's a lot of enrichment, herding games, and behavior work, but sometimes, he needs some Quiet Moments to be able to cope with typical "genetic anxiety" and wariness common to herding breeds. Or just to be able to focus or settle down! When his genes kicked in at 8 months, typical story, my well-socialized and impressively advanced puppy became a fearful, weird little heeler lol I laugh, but it's hard to deal with! Quiet Moments REALLY helped us continue to progress through this period. I would, and do, recommend NaturVet Quiet Moments of all varieties! I also strongly advise that you are not relying solely on these products - they are support to be used with legitimate, science-backed behavior. Your dog still needs their biological and genetic (breed) needs met through enrichment and appropriate activities. Your dog still needs you to undertake management during that time. It's a miracle when used properly, it does not work miracles on it's own. Pet guardianship is still work!

great and alot too really need this for my dogs no where else I could get this at your price!! thanks

Seems OK, didn't help much. Puppy still barks like crazy for attention. Was hoping this would calm him enough to train some calming crate behavior and separation anxiety when I'm working from home. Used on 5 month old pointer mix, not strong enough and effective.

I have been using these on occasion for my 12lb terrier mix for over a year. He is already VERY chill; but, if we are flying or I am slightly stressed before our trip, and trying to get a lot done, I give him one. He doesn't act differently; just more calm and slightly sleepy. It reduces his anxiety greatly; especially since he feeds off of mine. Recently, I started fostering rescue dogs. This works SO WELL for dogs on their first couple nights in a new home, especially if they aren't crate-trained or need to be left alone to decompress. I always start with half of the recommended dose to see how they do.

Tried this today on my 80lbs German shepherd/bluetick coonhound. He just turned 2 and has been with us for a year. I have 5 kids which he always has to watch and has severe anxiety when they aren’t within his reach. I gave him 4 chews and we headed to the park. This is the FIRST time we have had a trip to the park with NO barking. He did whine a few times but would stay by my side and watch the kids. I purposely had the kids go to the other side of the park (training purposes) and he did fantastic. Car rides are also a mess but he did a lot better. He has to stand in between the 2 front seats (15 passenger) to look out the front window. There was no whining or barking or pacing. This was a few hours ago and he hasn’t taken a nap so it doesn’t make him drowsy.

It worked, American Staffordshire Terrier mix, 8 yrs old. She has anxiety issues, storms, fireworks, always wants be out on a walk outside, but not in the backyard, just for bathroom. Recently, she seemed to have cabin fever, panting, whinning, take her outside, she was fine. Go back in, she would be restless, on patrol. I gave her 2 chews, 35 minutes later she was quiet, laying on her bean bag and later knocked out asleep. She slept that afternoon to the next morning around 4 am. This had the highest amount of hemp seed oil and powder between the other brands. I gave her 1 cheese the next morning around 8 am, she started to patrol and later she was quiet on her bean bag relaxing, mellow. Not her usual patrol madness self and now about to give her the 2nd chew to see if she starts be relaxing back on her bean bag. Highly recommend it, I was at my whits end to give her something safe, tranquilizer was on my mind. But this works for her!

I wanted this product to work and be beneficial for assisting our new furry member into acclimating to our environment and training. She and our current dog both get along wonderfully but she came from a "no-training" household and at 2, and roughly 60 pounds of whippet and bully, she is a lot of energy. We gave both pups a treat just to see the reaction, nothing. Chalked it up to needing to wait. We left to grab some items out of the car and bring up. 1 min and 30 seconds is all it took for our new friend to figure out how to maneuver her snake body onto a counter top and whip the treats down with her tail. They both ate all of the treats. Nothing bad happened, not even gas. These dogs were unfazed for the entire day. It was as if they had just eaten 25 dollars worth of treats in the blink of an eye and no "calming" effects...or otherwise had occurred the entire day. Needless to say, pretty sure these treats are full of misplaced hope and shredded dollar bills. Do not buy. Go with Charlotte's Webb products. Unfortunately you have to now get those on their website. But they work wonders. I really have no clue who claims to say these work but I'd question if these people were paid for their opinions to the company who makes the products. I left this long review only because I don't want others being scammed out of 20 bucks like I was, with false hopes that this will help in any way. Petco can do better than these hemp products. They have before with Charlotte's Webb. These "hemp" treats are just a total scam to desperate pet owners trying to make their furry friend's life easier.

It did not work for my labradoodle with crate anxiety at night.
