Calming Chews for Cats - Cat Anxiety Relief + Helps Reduce Stress - Behavioral Support & Promotes Relaxation for Travel, Boarding, Vet Visits, Separation Anxiety - Chicken (30-Day Supply)

I am so surprised these work. And work quickly and work well!I want to insert an edit here: dose conservatively! The recommended dosage is very high. I can use 2-3 treats in my 15# guy, and 1-2 on my 7# girl, and they chill waaaaaaaay out. They get spacey and sleepy. Start with 1 or 2 chews, and wait 30 minutes for results. Thiamine is a B vitamin, and can be overadministered. Chamomile is safe *at specific doseages* but can get toxic above those doseages, and doseage varies by body weight and age. So please administer conservatively, and wait for results before readministering.I got them for my 10+lb Maine Coon boy. He is 5ish, so still young and playful, but also a tiny bit anxious and jumpy. In short, he is bored (my other cat is 2x his age, and 1/2 his size and wants no part of playing) and under-stimulated. His brain is going too fast, and though I have tried to keep him stimulated, he is a hunting breed. He does not get to go outside for many reasons, health and safety being foremost. I have tried many toys, and he bores quickly.I gave my guy about half the dose recommended for him, just to see how fast and how well they work. Within 30 minutes he was definitely way more chill and clearly not happy he was chill. With tail flicks while looking spaced out. Aware he was not his usual self. He was also a lot less sure footed when trying to jump and get on furniture and climb over things because he was clearly experiencing life a bit slower, with slower reflexes etc.My guy, being a Maine Coon, does have some elevated cardiac enzymes, and is on a diet because he is about 2-3 lbs overweight, so his metabolism and his processesing system may be a little more sensitive than some other cats'. Partly why I tried the half-dose first.Please use caution and judicial judgement when administering these. I would not use daily, honestly. I would administer if you are expecting a change in routine or a vet visit, or if you have a bored cat agitating another cat unduly and you are trying to train them not to. I don't think these are a long-term solution for what is probably a behaviour/environmental issue that could be resolved another way. Cats speak in terms of behaviours letting you know what is displeasing them, so an anxious cat, or a cat bugging another cat or person, is telling you something needs fixing.In short, they work well, and quickly, for my cat. He enjoyed them enough to gobble them up, but he will also eat anything, except chicken flavour food, so his openness to all foods is not a shared trait with all cats.They look and feel a lot like Temptations treats, but smell a lot stronger. My guess is the B vitamin.The cost-benefit is going to depend on your cat and what you arw treating with these. Occasional anxiety/agitation? Probably worth it to have on hand. Perpetual, daily, general anxiety, boredom-induced-bad-behaviour, and/or other behaviour problems related to a bad fit to environment etc? That's for a pet behaviourist and/or your vet to help you figure out the next steps.

Gabriel, large breed mix (now is 22 & 1/2 in long; 16 .2 pound, 1 yr old, and still growing per the vet today) , testosterone heavy and was neutered early because of it. It helped but not enough. I tried the Calming care made by Purina/proplan but it just didn't work at all. He is the pickiest cat I have ever had! Will only eat chicken and now, finally he will eat turkey! He only smells the beef and runs from all fishy foods. Picky is truly an understatement.Gabriel LOVES THESE! He even trys to get in the bag before I open it!!!I love that they are all natural, I have gotten 90 supply and they retain their odor, flavor (per Gabe), size doesn't even matter to him as I could smash a piece and he would lick it up and keep licking hoping for more. (he is that way with all the pet honesty products we use!In Dec 2024, (yeah, I waited to do this review)I Gave this a try and started slow since I was already giving him the Pet Honesty Cat Multivitamin and just started him on the Pet Honesty Cat Hairball Support Chews, I didn't want to overwhelm his system. I only gave him 4 pieces the 1st time I gave them to him (he weighed 11 pounds) and was surprised when I saw calming effects in roughly an hour.I have increased the number of pieces (using average size scale) and today was proof enough that I need to increase the amount yet again, for his sake. Every cat is different and has different needs and different reactions. I will continue giving these to Gabriel and just evaluate as needed. How long did the effects last? I only used it to help him and ME through the night so I could sleep and before traveling in the car/vet. To be clear, I use this because of high testosterone levels that cause aggressive play/behavior and howling at night looking for a mate! These chews have stopped 98% of those behaviors. I don't think he knows he's neutered!!!

These definitely work! I bought them to help calm my Bengal kitties down and decrease the peeing outside the litter box. It didn't entirely fix the problem, but they are happier on them. My boy loves these, but then again he will eat nearly anything. I have to keep the bag put away or he will rip the bag open and seriously overdose himself. My girl is the one that needs them the most, but she won't touch them. She ate them the first day, and now refuses to even consider them. I have bought 5 different brands, flavors and types (all of the hard treats are the same shape and texture), and she won't eat any of them. We finally resorted to a pheromone collar, which seems to be helping more.It would be nice if one thing fixed all the problems, but I find that my kitties do best when a use a combination of things to help them.
