[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the first time I used a product like this. My dog, a 2 year old huskie mix, seemed to really enjoy getting these treats and the product was definitely effective. Use according to the serving guide on the back for best results. The product definitely eased a lot of that puppy energy anxiousness when we were having new people over to the house as well as when trying to trim nails at home. I will definitely use this product again in the future for any occasion where we may need to have our pup in a more calm temperament.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Zesty Paws for the free product. I have a 9 year old Mini Schnauzer that is still high energy and difficult to calm. The instructions recommended only feeding a half dose to begin. The texture of each bite is very soft and so I found them difficult to break in half as they would crumble in my hand. The bottom of the bag has a lot of crumbs. I think the package should be more sturdy. Taste wise my dog loved them and ate them without any hesitation. I did feed in the evening, which is when we go on our walk and it's when I need him to be calm and less stimulated. To be honest, I have a hard time telling if they are having the full intended effect. He seems more hazy than usual and a little more oblivious. He doesn't go to sleep either. He will lay but his eyes will be wide open. There was so no bad reaction, so I think I'll keep feeding for a few more weeks. I think they're good for car rides. He's still conscious but is more willing to lay down and stay in his car seat. Still cries and is nervous too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 5 dogs, 3 of which can get anxious from time to time. When using these treats I did notice a difference in their behavior but nothing too drastic. My dogs can be somewhat picky when it comes to treats and it took a little while before they wanted to try these. At times I would put a bit of peanut butter on it and they enjoyed that better. Not sure what was putting them off about these. Overall I think these are great calming treats. *I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.*

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of this product and am not disappointed by it! Our puppy loves the taste of these treats and they provide a great calming effect without making her sluggish or too tired. We typically provide her with 2 treats prior to us leaving for an extended period or when we take her in an environment where her high energy needs to be controlled. Extra happy because she has a sensitive stomach and these have not caused any upset. We will definitely go out and purchase this for continued use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Calming Plus Bites free for my honest review. I am glad I received this product because it is something I really needed for my dogs. I think it works well, but I did not see a difference between giving them one or two bites. So one bite actually seem to work well for us. My dogs enjoyed them because they just thought it was a fun treat. I enjoyed them because it helped calm them down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two dogs, one is a Boston Terrier, she didn't care for these treats. It might have been the flavor. I do like that they are easy to crumble and mix in her food. My Pitbull enjoyed these treats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We gave this to our 1 year old Shiba Inu and she loved the taste! She always enjoys eating it, but I'm not sure it actually calms her down. She's been spoiled by a work from home mom so when I leave to take the kids to karate practice she sometimes gets some anxiety. I did see a decrease in her trying to destroy things (eating the walls, chewing on shoes, etc) but when we gave it to her while we were home (to watch how she reacted before giving it when we weren't around) she had a little bit of calm down time, but it mostly seemed to either not effect her or it wound her up more. Shibas can be cray cray all on their own so its hard to tell if it was just normal shenanigans or the calming bites that wound her up. But again, there was maybe 20-30 mins of calm, sleepy Shiba. I would recommend this to try, as it will of course effect different dogs in different ways. I think its well worth a shot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog seemed to enjoy the taste of the treats. I gave them to her before she was left alone for a while during the day and I do believe they helped but it's hard to say since I wasn't there. I think I would buy these again and depending on the price I would recommend it to other people

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog has a tumor near his penis that's grown so large, it's made walking and going to the bathroom difficult for him. We're doing everything we can to keep him comfortable around the clock and ease any stress or anxiety he might feel due to his limited mobility. To help him stay relaxed, I give him Zesty Paws Calming Plus Bites-just one soft chew a day. These calming chews really make a difference. They support normal stress, nervousness, and hyperactivity, helping him stay calm, comfy, and content. He also enjoys the flavor, and the extra calming ingredients like valerian root, organic hemp seed powder, organic passionflower, magnesium citrate, L-tryptophan, and organic ginger root give him the extra support he needs. Highly recommend for any pet parent looking to ease their pup's anxiety in a gentle, natural way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this product to try out And I wanted to love this product so bad but unfortunately not only did my dog not like the smell but it made him throw up. I tried it a few separate times and every time it was the same outcome. I then gave them to my mother's dog for her to try it out and her dog loved them! Also I can't stand the packaging becauses lot of the treats were crushed.
