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

We use these for our rescue dog who has some anxiety from his past, and they’ve made a noticeable difference. What I like: Helps calm him without making him overly sleepy Easy to give and he takes them without a problem Good for everyday stress or situations that might trigger anxiety Things to know: It’s not an instant fix—more of a gentle, gradual support Results may vary depending on your dog Works best when used consistently Who this is good for: Dogs with mild to moderate anxiety Situations like separation, storms, or new environments Pet owners looking for a more natural calming option Final thoughts: These don’t completely eliminate anxiety, but they definitely take the edge off. For us, it’s been a helpful part of keeping our dog more comfortable and relaxed.

These calming chews are perfect for our old lab ....he has had problems sleeping through the night , gets up and starts walking around not knowing what he's doing. He gets a couple of these about 20 minutes before his bedtime and he sleeps all night! We all get a good nights sleep! (Also works for long car rides to the lake)

Short Version: Pup loves the taste, it works decently well. We have a 20 pound Shiba almost a year old. Based on her weight the recommended does is one treat, which has very little noticeable difference. It caaan make her more calm but she can still have big spurts of energy or craziness. Could be that her puppy excitement overpowers the treat. My brother come over once after we had given her a treat, and she went crazy, peeing on the floor from excitement. We tried two treats, monitored her carefully just in case and she was fine, but two treats is definitely much more effective. She is much calmer, more likely to nap too. She loves the taste of it too. Also the treat is pretty big but it does fit inside even a puppy sized Kong toy which was a plus for us.

Maybe I just had bad luck but they sent me the wrong item. Apparently it’s easy for them to mix up this item with another product in their line. I do not recommend buying on Amazon due to this issue. They also sent me an expired one when they finally did send me the correct product. I ended up having to return it twice.However, I purchased the product somewhere else and it does work! Good for anxious dogs. Even my picky dog ate them so it must be a good taste.

The never ending quest is to find the perfect calming supplement that will help my dog through thunderstorms. I have tried many of them and I think this one may work the best so far. I do have to give it to her about an hour in advance of the stressful event and sometimes I give her an extra chew when needed. The chews are not a cure but it does help to take the edge off. I mostly notice it with her stress habit of digging at the floor being far less when she is on them. :)

Works great. Calms my baby right away

Let me tell you a little story about how Zesty Paws Calming Bites helped my family and our beloved pups. I have a household of three humans, three dogs and two bearded dragons. Our dogs are as followed: Aspen our eight year old German Shepherd, Reilley my six year old German Sheperd/Rotti mix, and then the main character to this tale, Ava, my mom’s Catahula Cur/Pitbull mix. I adopted Ava for my mom after our oldest dog of sixteen years had to be put down. Ava was a little ball of energy but that was to be expected with her two breed make up. She was shy around the other two at first, but then she fit right in as if she was always meant to become part of our family. It was about a month or so into Ava living with us that tragedy struck. What we did not know is that Ava had been previously abused with her collar making her terrified and panic when a collar is placed over or being taken off her head. When this happens, she goes into pure horror and distress that she starts screaming like nothing I have ever heard. Well one day this happened and in all the commotion I believe Reilley thought she was hurting my mom and went after Ava. After we got them separated we knew that we could not just have them together as if nothing happened. So we consulted our vet who suggested reintroducing them slowly over a period of time. This was fine for a few days for my mom had a small vacation, but then the problem came up that the dogs would be home while everyone in the house was at work. Our vet suggested try either a crate or get a baby gate and place her into a room where she is most comfortable and feels safe. This would be my mom’s room since every night she goes to bed and sleeps right next to my mom. So this is what we did while slowly starting to reintroduce them. They could see each other through the gate and get acquainted with each others scent once more and be supervised while outside. Things seem to be going well until we found out that once everyone was back at work, Ava had extreme separation anxiety from my mom. She would dig holes through her mattress, ripping out the foam and even the springs. Tear up blankets and sheets to shreds and also bit and crack the wood part of my mom’s box spring. It had gotten so bad that no noise (such a music or a tv on for her), toys or clothes that smelled like my mom could help calm her down once we left. We were running out of options because we did not want to crate her. This is when I consulted my veterinarian and she suggested getting Ava either on medication she prescribed or trying some calming treats online. I have never heard of calming treats and being a kid straight from college with her first job, I was trying to save as much money as possible while still giving my animal the best care. I read a lot of reviews on so many different products when I finally came across Zesty Paws and their Calming Bites. Once they came into the mail I let Ava get used to them over the weekend and also wanted to see how they would affect her while everyone was home. I cannot thank you enough for this amazing product. Ever since getting these treats, Ava’s anxiety and over all hyper active ness has softened to the point where we are even able to leave her home overnight if need be. She is also not tearing up her toys into little tiny pieces and overall is a happier pup. They especially help when I take her one car rides for she doesn’t get car sick anymore. These treats worked amazingly for Ava and I know every dog is different and takes to medicine in different ways, but these bites really work. She loves the flavor too so that is a plus!

***Edited After leaving this review, the seller contacted me and gave me a full refund. Their customer support is excellent and I appreciate that they stand behind their product. **** Our 6yo Australian Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix started having aggression issues with our other, elderly dog. She would become anxious with visitors or deliveries. We tried these chews in hopes it would provide a calming influence to help take the edge off her anxiety. We used them daily for 2 weeks and saw no improvement. We have her 2 treats at a time according to the directions and her weight. We took her to the vet today and both dogs are healthy. The vet gave us an Rx to help with the aggression/anxiety. I wish these had worked instead and I hadn't wasted the money. The only positive is that she enjoyed the taste and happily ate them.

I bought these to help manage my Rottweilers agression and she has been so much better. Still has a few outbursts here and there but its made it much easier to identify moments before they become an issue.

Pup likes these and definitely seemed to work.

This is great Thankyou Amazon and Zesty Paws, my Two Boxers love these. I will be purchasing more in the future. THANKYOU again 🙏🏽🕉😊🐕🐾🐕🐾🐾🐾 Highly recommend!

Took a really long time for this to arrive in Australia. Nearly over a month. My pup won't eat this whole. She takes a sniff and won't come near it, so the only way I've managed to use it is by crumbling it into her wet food mix. It seems to do a decent job at keeping her relatively chill. She can get anxiety when left alone and on the reverse spectrum can be too excitable when playing with other dogs. This has allowed her to enjoy the playtime without going too crazy. Just wish she would eat it!

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.
