NaturVet –Quiet Moments Calming Aid for Cats Plus Melatonin – 60 Soft Chews – Helps Reduce Stress & Promote Relaxation – Great for Storms, Fireworks, Travel & Grooming

I had received these cat chews yesterday and was so disappointed that it was underneath a very heavy box. So it ended up smashing this product and everything was opened and spilled out at the bottom of the package. I contacted Amazon for a replacement and it came today! I was very pleased with Customer Service. I have one feral cat that loved the chew right out of my hand. This relaxing ingredient allowed her to just rest and purr for the rest of the night. I will have to smash this chew and put it in my domesticated cat’s food. But I have seen how much more calm and relaxed my cats were after taking a chew; fantastic! I bought it after seeing success with my dogs with the dog chew. I am happy with this small help.

EXPERIENCE: I have a hard time keeping my cat still and calm when grooming him, and these just made him even more anxious. Every movement scared him and he would bolt and do flips (not very relaxing behavior). This was before I even took out any brushes or nail trimmers so I didn't even get started grooming him. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and straight up just left him to his own devices to calm down. But he just had the zoomies like they'd given him the opposite effect even after over an hour of waiting for them to work. They don't work. I tried to calm him he just insisted on biting blankets, boxes, carpet, anything he could see in sight, which is typically not his normal behavior so I assume he felt uncomfortable due to whatever this product was doing to him. TASTE: He refused to eat the chews in the first place. Even when broken into pieces and mixed in his food he'd pick out the pieces and leave them there, I had to crush them into paste with some water and mix it into his food. Can't refund unless I drive and drop it off myself which is ridiculous, what are they going to do with an opened product. Forfeit the money and just throw it away, not worth my time dropping off one return.

I purchased this to use on our cat who has a habit of getting us up at 0330 in the morning. The melatonin has made a noticeable improvement in calming him down and making him sleepy in the evening. He is much more relaxed. The down side of this product is that he won’t eat it alone as a treat. 😕 He completely turns his nose up and I have to break it up and put it into his dry food … which means he is eating it continuously for a few hours rather than getting one solid dose at bedtime. This product smells like vitamins. It was put by itself in a padded envelope which got crushed en Route. The safety seal and lid had popped off and the contents were loose in the bag. I’m hoping to find a better tasting option elsewhere.

So all the reviews said their cat wouldn't eat them. Mine scarfed it down like a mugggg. He meows nonstop and I already give him the GNC calming cat treats which definitely help and decided to add this one bc it's all different ingredients. So glad. He slept through the night and didnt start trying to wake me up at 3 am to be fed *rolls eyes* i only give him one at a time, it says 2. I would recommend for obnoxious cats. I break it up into his dry food or I'll give it to him in a wet food treat mixed in. update- - over time he has realized what the treats are, he doesn't much care for them but I think he is used to them. He eats them when I break it up into his food, not smushed and powdered, just into a few pieces and he eats them every time. I feed him a quarter cup of food 2x/day, I put one treat in the food each time. I give him hairball treats with each feeding too. These things have saved my routine over time bc I love him so much but was thinking about rehoming him to someone who could work with him better than I was, but anywho these treats are a success and definitely worth it. I no longer give him the GNC calming treats, only this one.

The problem: Charlie starts acting up like clockwork everyday around 7pm in the living room. Meowing at the ceiling and tv, knocking things over, chewing on this and that, obsessively pawing at the touchscreen monitor on the tv. We have tried playing with him before or during this time to wear him out, but he just wants more or more...or starts acting up an hour or two later. The good news: the active ingredients in this do a decent job of calming Charlie down. 15-30 minutes after eating, he's snoozing happily while we enjoy our own chill time. The bad news: As a palatable, desired treat, this was a total failure. He WANTED to like it. After all, he loves greenies and will forage for them. (A fun activity to keep him busy.) But, he took a bite of this and left the pieces on the ground. The next day, just a sniff and he didn't even bother with a bite. A solution: I CAN pound this into a powder, mix it with a rough tsp of fresh raw chopped liver/juice and mix that with some Friskies pate. One rough tablespoon of liver tasting treat, he's all in with that. The other two cats get the pate and liver mix at the same time...I have to give them a bit more to keep them busy while Charlie finishes his whole amount. The small highly palatable treat means he'll get all the sleepy stuff and I don't have to stand guard over the 3 cats for TOO long. (I have to make sure he gets all of his before the other cats wander towards his serving.) The problem with this solution is it's a new job for me right when I'm tired after a long day. And, it makes more dirty dishes, more stuff to buy (liver), etc. Who needs another daily "must do"? After a week of success, I've streamlined it. I whizzed up all the treats into a powder and am prepared to mix about 1/2 t of the powder into his pate/liver treat. I have read that one can over do liver with cats, so I'm reserving the small amount just for treat time. It's easy to whiz up the liver, too, and divide it out for a few days at a time and freeze the rest in small containers...so always fresh to mix in. I will also start putting less liver in, hopefully, he'll just get used to the taste of the mixture in his pate. (I tried it first, he didn't like it without the liver.) I'm happy to have this work for right now. It is affordable enough. However, I'll also look for another calming technique/treat that doesn't mean a new daily "job" for me.

They work when your fur baby actually eats them. I crush mine up and put them in dry food and they eat it when they get hungry enough but they’re not fond of them. Wet food is best but mine get sick from it.

These do not work for my dogs at all…. But they do like to eat them anyway. I suppose that means they taste good, but if you’re looking to actually calm your dog this won’t be helpful (from my experience)

These are great for helping my cat chill out a bit. She's already pretty tolerant of most things but they come in handy if she does get a bit stressed. She's also not picky with treats either which helps. My other cat is the one who I got them for originally because she is a lot more sensitive. Unfortunately she will not eat them. I even tried to mix it with wet food but I soon as she smells it she will attempt to eat around it or not eat altogether. Also I don't see a huge difference when I use them to take my cats somewhere like the vet. My cats are usually alright anyway but if your pet is highly anxious or easily stressed in the car at the vet or groomers I would look into getting something more effective and long lasting. Veterinarians can often provide medications that would be more helpful. Still a great product for home use and are great to have on hand.
