Kradle Daily Calming Chews, Soft Chews for Dogs (75 Pack) | Dog Relief for Separation Anxiety, Thunder, Fireworks, and Car Rides | Chicken Flavor

Our dog is 100 lbs and doesn't know it. He thinks anyone taking off their shoes is signaling "playtime". We give him these chews an hour before visitors and then again an hour after visitors usually 2-3 hours apart. He is calmer and allowed to visit with guests.

Works

My blind senior dog is a 14-lb Chihuahua. Despite her small size, she has a high tolerance to CBD, melatonin, and even medications like gabapentin and trazodone. I give her Kradle Calming Chews throughout the day (about three per day) to help manage her dementia. Without them, she paces constantly, walks aimlessly, and very restless. With the right combination — 3 Kradle Calming Chews during the day, 1 CBD chew in the early evening, and 6mg melatonin before bedtime (this amount is meant to be for a large dog, but that's how strong this girl is) — we’ve finally been able to manage her sundowning and daytime restlessness while still allowing her to be a playful and curious dog. She’s calm, but not completely drugged or sedated, which was a big concern for us when relying solely on gabapentin and trazodone. Before finding this combination, we barely slept at night, and her constant pacing during the day was especially challenging since we work from home. The ingredients in these chews work well alongside CBD and melatonin, and together they’ve been genuinely effective for our senior pup.

I was looking for something to give my dog other than drugging him with trazadone for thunder or fireworks and this seems to give him a calming feeling. He also gets anxious when I go out on the weekends but since I started him on the supplement he's been calmer and not so anxious any longer!

The dog likes the taste, but they don't seem to do a whole lot for her anxiety about thunderstorms or fireworks. She had no side effects that I could tell.
