My Border Collie Cass has, like so many others, obsessive compulsive disorder. I mean why else would they perform as they do unless bred for compulsive behavior with sheep, tennis balls, and frisbes? She licks the floor. She over reacts to loud noises. Even to the parakeet's screeches. She hates going in the car. We live close to the National Guard Air field and they practice shooting a lot. So she practices over-reacting a lot. At one point she licked the hardwood floor till it had a worn place when we were gone for a long time. I tried everything I could, from exercise (she's great on a treadmill!) to extracts and herbs to a tight fitting Tellington touch jacket. Nothing helped much. I finally found these calming treats! They WORK!! I have my lovely Border Collie back. She plays joyfully again. Sure she still hates the gun shots but she just keeps calm and tucks her tail a bit. She rode happily in the car and ran crazy 8's at the off leash park like a puppy (she's 9). Thanks so much Pet Naturals!

These calming tablets are very good. My dog is very nervous during thunder storms and they work well to take the edge off a stormy day. There are no side effects just a natural calming sense that I noticed within about 20 minutes of giving one to my dog. No groggy or sluggish after affects just more calm.These do not work on calming down my hyperactive/neurotic pug. He still paces the house and barks constantly. Unfortunately, I have not noticed anything different in him since he started taking the chews.I foster dogs for an animal rescue, and because I don't have dogs of my own yet, I tend to take the dogs that don't get along with other animals. They are wonderful when they're at home with me, but taking them to the adoption events to try and get them adopted is another story... Some of the dogs HATE being at the adoption events, where there are anywhere form 30-50 other dogs looking for their forever home. So, I've handled quite a few medium-large dogs that lunge, growl, bark at any dog that comes near us while where there. It's not very fun! This is where these calming chews come in handy! I double (and sometimes triple) the doseage for the 3 hours that I'm at the adoption event. It's helped a little....can't say that it solves the problem completely, but I do notice a difference in my foster dog's anxiety level!Save 28% Off
