[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a Belgian Malinois, which is probably one of the most high strung breeds on the face of the earth, to say that I was skeptical is an understatement. I have been giving these treats to my good boy for 2 weeks, I thought surely there was no way that 2 tiny little treats would have any effect on him whatsoever. I have been pleasantly surprised! 2 treats and he will stop his normal chaos and chill for a bit. The treats don't knock him out, just seems to level him out for a bit. *I received a sample of this product free of charge for an honest review.

[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 dogs really enjoy the Zest Paws Calming Plus Bites. These are supposed to help dogs with stress, nervousness, and hyperactivity. They contain wholesome ingredients like Ashwagandha, Melatonin, Chamomile, Valerian Root, and Suntheanine. Suntheanine is a clinically studied, premium form of L-theanine that helps promote relaxation and calmness. I have a German Shepherd mix who is a very nervous, high-strung dog and these seem to help him relax some and not be so jumpy. We also like to use these an hour or two before bath and nail clipping time to make things a little easier. I would recommend these Calming Bites. I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our chihuahua mix is pretty high strung. He's only 11 lbs, so we give him half a treat to help him. He barks at every little noise and is in constant guard mode but these do help him not be so crazy.

[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.] I received this product in exchange for a review. Here is my honest review. Our dog has prescription medicine for high stress events (mostly 4th of July) and this would NOT replace that medication. However, I think Zesty Paws calming bites can be used for low to medium stressors/anxiety. I gave it to him as we were getting ready to pack for a weekend away (he is going with us). But he gets very anxious when he sees us packing. This took the edge off and he seemed more mellow than he usually is. I also gave him a few of these and then waited about 45 minutes and it seemed a bit easier to cut his nails as he was more relaxed. Overall, I think these are great. They don't replace prescription, BUT can be used instead of prescription for lessor triggers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently took our dog on his very first long car ride-an adventurous weekend trip to Lake Tahoe! He's a sweet but very anxious pup who gets nervous even on short drives, so I knew we needed to find something to help make the experience smoother for him (and us). We decided to try the Zesty Calming Chew Bites, and I'm so glad we did. Compared to other calming treats we've tried in the past, these actually worked without making him drowsy or out of it. He was still his happy, alert self-just calmer and more at ease. The bites smell great, and he gobbled them up like a treat, which is a win in itself since he's pretty picky. Also im super picky when it comes to ingredients and i trust zesty paw's products' ingredients We gave him one about 30 minutes before we hit the road, and we were amazed at the difference. He settled in quickly, wasn't panting or whining, and even laid down and napped for part of the ride. We honestly couldn't believe it. Owning this product has made travel so much easier. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was comfortable, and it made the trip feel more enjoyable and less stressful for all of us. Yes, I'd absolutely buy this product again-and in fact, I already have another jar on the way! I've recommended it to my fellow dog-parent friends too. If you have an anxious pup or just want to make travel a little easier for them, these calming chews are a game changer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Boston is a very active pup she thinks she is supposed to stay up all night chewing everything in the house! Well with the Zesty bites she has her treat and sleeps I highly recommend they do not stink and are soft for all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs are really picky about treats, so I was excited when we got the chance to try them for free through BzzAgent! It took some coaxing to get them to eat these, but now they are obsessed. They love the taste and get so excited to eat them every night. Our younger dog used to wake us up before our alarms every morning, but ever since she started getting these treats at night, she sleeps until it's time for us to get up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Doberman who is 7 years old. He is a large European bread. He gets overly excited when it's time to go out and slips and falls all the way out. This really helped him be calmer! And he loves the flavor. He seems overall less stressed. This is great stuff!
