[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have three rescue Goldens: one young, active, skittish; one older with a long history of anxiety; and our oldest who's very scared of thunder and loud noises. We do a variety of things with our dogs already to address their needs: training, doggy oils, etc. But now that our neighborhood is again busy with loud people, UTVs, storms, etc. they need more, and the Calming Bites seems to take the edge off. Only reason for the four stars is it does seems subtle, but still noticeable. Will definitely keeps these on hand to support our Goldens!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is anxious and has separation anxiety so I have tried a few dog calming products in hopes to relieve some of the issues we are having with her. One we tried was much too strong and I found it made her looked glossy eyed and drugged and others I found not effective at all. These calming bites are a perfect fit for her. I have found it takes the edge off and she is less anxious and calm without acting sedated. She seems to also really like the taste of them and gets excited when I grab the bag. She is 22 pounds and only needs one treat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog does enjoy these treats, she's not picky! However, I haven't noticed any obvious calming effects. She isn't super high energy to begin with so maybe it might have more of an effect on other dogs?

[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.] My dogs are pretty mellow most the time unless the postman comes so it's not an obvious change, but they do seem kind of relaxed. They certainly love the taste and run for it as you can see in the picture every time I pull them out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These calming bites work to take the edge off for my pups. We foster and I have given them to my resident dogs when we bring a new foster home to try to keep them calm during the transition and I think they really help. They also love them and don't upset their tummies (other brands have) - disclosure I got the product for free in exchange for writing the review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bites were easy for me to give to my senior dog. Easy for her to eat and she loved the taste. I would recommend them because they appear easy on her stomach, no problems, she was excited to eat them, one was enough, she was not groggy or hard to wake. The package is resealable, which keeps them soft and last longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 4 dogs with a primarily husky breed and while 3 of them are pretty good at calming down immediately by command when we have company, there is one that will pup that will lets just say - gets very excited and is very vocal. I've tried numerous things to discourage this behavior and have not much success whereas the other 3 are from the same family so it's hard to evaluate what needs to happen when they are all have shared genetics and environment. I like to host a lot so this has added some stress onto myself and my guests to figure out how to meet everyone in the middle. Here comes in the Calming Chews bites.. before having company, I'll give my troublesome pup a couple of of these treats an 30minutes to an hour in advance to really ensure the supplement has had time to digest. While this does not remove her barking when company comes over, I've noticed that it does notably reduce her cooling off period to calming down. It's taken me awhile to really test this and tease out familiarity of people being a factor but this does lead me to believe it is working. Like I mentioned in the subject title it's not a magic bullet by any means to have her magically obey to becoming calm - think of when the last time someone told you to calm down - did you . But the ingredients have an established profile on how they also induce calming with humans so I can understand how this definitely helps take the edge off! All in all, I do hope buying these with some applied behavioral coaching may reduce the time to get her to be more approachable to guests rather than be dependent on a relaxant but time will only tell! Lastly I gave this 4/5 stars because I wanted to be reasonable with my review in terms of effectiveness but a few of the treats were pre crumbled as opposed to being bite ready so just wanted to call that out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sometimes hesitate to try new products with my dog as I am not sure how she might stomach something or if it will really work. So far she has really liked these and they seem to make her calmer. I have given them to her after both a long romp at the dog park and on evenings without. She has not experienced any stomach issues and seems to recognize she likes the flavor when she sees the bag, the cat likes the smell too!

[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.
