[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad i tried this product. I was not aware of calming treats for dogs, but it is something we definitely can use for our 1 year old goldendoodle! He is full of energy especially when being social. I like that you only need 1 treat, it also smells just like something Teddy would eat. We gave him 1 treat when we were going out to be around people and when we had visitors since he gets overly excited and jumps on everyone. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a crazy two year old puppy and was hoping these calming bites might help her settle a little easier. She adored the treats, super tasty, but didn't really have any effect on her energy level. That's okay for us, just don't buy expecting a miracle!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave my dog these treats daily and didn't notice any calming effect. He seemed to not really like them or that they get stuck in his mouth because he seemed to need to keep licking in his mouth after eating them. He is a high energy dog so it's possible that these just don't work on him!

[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.] 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 received this product as part of a promotion in exchange for an honest review) my pup has never really had trouble sleeping but recently had some anxiety with his dad being away for a while. as soon as he left on the trip, sparky was very anxious and didn't want to relax, waiting for his dad. i gave him one (17lbs) and within 30 minutes, he was relaxed and hanging out with me on the couch. he continued to get one the first five nights and didn't need them after. now, he gets them during thunderstorms. he really likes them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a fan of other Zesty Paw products but not sure if these worked for my dog (50lb pit-boxer mix.) I followed the instructions per the bag but unfortunately my dog didn't seem to calm down much. These may work for a smaller breed but for the really anxious pups, you may need something else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've got 4 dogs who usually use cbd. I tried these zesty paws and find that these treats definitely calmed them all down. Some dogs are picky on treat flavors but will still eat these. Would recommend and would purchase to use again

[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.] 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!
