[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited for my dog to try the Zesty Paws Calming Plus Bites and was really hoping these treats would help to ease his anxiety and make him relax, but while they did seem to take the edge off, they also upset his stomach and caused some digestive issues shortly after eating them. A couple hours after his first dose, he had some diarrhea, vomiting and overall looked clearly uncomfortable. I gave it another shot the next day with only half a dose this time, but unfortunately the tummy issues still persisted. I like the concept and the wholesome all natural ingredients seem thoughtfully chosen but if your pup has a sensitive stomach like mine, you might want to try something else. Every dog is different though, so if yours has a more ironclad stomach, they might work great but I recommend starting with smaller doses first just to see how they react.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My golden gets too excited when seeing a new person come to the house. He has to be in their face and start jumping on them. I thought because he's older he would stop but he hasn't so I've tried many calming treats. These work the best. He's still a little excited but nothing like he is without them. Sometimes he's so relaxed he will go to sleep.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These calming bites smell like beef , my dogs love the smell . I have 2 dogs a Boston terrier and a Boston beagle mix. The full Boston does pretty good when I need to cut his nails but the mix dog she is horrible with cutting nails or traveling. I have tried several things and find that they didn't work. I was a bit skeptical about the calming bites but to my surprise they worked quite well with her. She is always nervouse for several things so I am glad I was able to try these. I give them to her when I cut nails or go to the vet to calm her down, and I haven't had any issue. Keeps her pretty relax and haven't had any allergies. I am very happy with this product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Here's the thing, this could be one of those "my dog" things, and not the product itself. We tried them 3 different times. She did not slow her roll, and almost was more anxious. It was strange. I plan to try them again, in a few weeks. She may have just been having an off week. She's typically not super hyper but some weather related noises made her a bit skiddish, and these came in so I figured perfect timing. Using them 3 times I had hoped they'd help her out a bit. Overall mostly the same. With that being said, for another dog these may work just fine and I wouldn't deter someone- in fact I'd want to know if my friends dogs did well with them and if they were chill :) Pros: soft and chewy, not that gross dog treat smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having three large breed high energy dogs is not for the weak. These treats must have a great taste, as our picky eater even enjoys them. As far as calming, it definitely made them a little more relaxed with outside distractions than without.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried Zesty Paws Calming Plus Bites for my 5-year-old beagle, and I'm really impressed! My beagle has this eager, non-stop bark, especially when he's excited or overstimulated, and it can get a bit much at times. These calming bites have helped him relax without losing his usual energy and enthusiasm. He's not a picky eater at all, and he loved the taste of these chews right from the start. I've noticed a significant decrease in his barking, especially when there are distractions around, and he seems more chill overall. Definitely a win for both him and me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog really loves these. She's not a hyper dog, but she does have sleeping trouble during the night and these help calm her down and she seems to sleep much better. She gets excited when she sees the package and smells them. My only issue is they seem to break apart very easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product really impressed us! With all natural ingredients as well! Our dog is still very rowdy at times and we have been seeking something healthy for her that also induced relaxing effects without drugs. Well our search is over. If you want a natural healthy treat look no further.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried this for the first time with my 80-lb yellow lab. We started with two treats which was a bit low for the dosing and size, but we wanted the product to last. I can definitely tell you she enjoyed these! Within probably 5-10 mins, she was noticeably more relaxed, just laying down and chilling. She looked completely at ease; hence I wish these were for humans! The ingredients are all natural so I wasn't worried about her having them. Definitely would buy again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this in exchange for my review. I absolutely love these for car rides. I give them to my two doodles about an hour before leaving and they're both nice and chill for the ride. Way better than medicating them- they're not totally zonked out, just calm enough to enjoy the ride!
