Zesty Paws Calming Chews for Dogs Composure & Relaxation for Everyday Stress & Separation Peanut Butter 90 Count

We use these for our rescue dog who has some anxiety from his past, and they’ve made a noticeable difference. What I like: Helps calm him without making him overly sleepy Easy to give and he takes them without a problem Good for everyday stress or situations that might trigger anxiety Things to know: It’s not an instant fix—more of a gentle, gradual support Results may vary depending on your dog Works best when used consistently Who this is good for: Dogs with mild to moderate anxiety Situations like separation, storms, or new environments Pet owners looking for a more natural calming option Final thoughts: These don’t completely eliminate anxiety, but they definitely take the edge off. For us, it’s been a helpful part of keeping our dog more comfortable and relaxed.

I have an extremely high energy, nervous, young adult, mini goldendoodle who can be rather neurotic. I ordered the Zesty Paws original calming chews when she pulled out all of her own tail hair, then chewed the tip of her tail until it was bleeding. She loved the taste and gobbled them up immediately. The recommended dose for her size made zero impact, so I tried a double dose twice daily (at breakfast and dinner). That worked! After two days at the double dose she was still very high energy but more relaxed overall. After a week of regular double dosing, her fearful vocalizations to outside noises reduced by 50%. During that week, her on-leash walking improved by 75%. She can now maintain a heel position, no longer jumps at every little stimuli, and her enjoyment of walks has increased significantly. Initially, I was afraid the calming chews would just make her sleepy, which would only be a bandaid effect. They do not sedate her in any way, but seem to help her be calm enough to feel comfortable napping, playing, and exercising in normal, healthy ways. After one month at the double dose, I tried reducing the quantity, and she immediately went back to being jumpy and edgy. Back to the double dose and she’s back to feeling calmer. We’ll use these chews forever, because they have helped me truly enjoy my dog for the first time in the 14 months since I brought her home from the breeder. Whew!

Short Version: Pup loves the taste, it works decently well. We have a 20 pound Shiba almost a year old. Based on her weight the recommended does is one treat, which has very little noticeable difference. It caaan make her more calm but she can still have big spurts of energy or craziness. Could be that her puppy excitement overpowers the treat. My brother come over once after we had given her a treat, and she went crazy, peeing on the floor from excitement. We tried two treats, monitored her carefully just in case and she was fine, but two treats is definitely much more effective. She is much calmer, more likely to nap too. She loves the taste of it too. Also the treat is pretty big but it does fit inside even a puppy sized Kong toy which was a plus for us.

Purchased for gots, when grooming. Does help, may only need half a bite! Try before you need them! Work great at calming pups!

These used to be my favorite calming treats for my beautiful furry friend. She likes the peanut butter flavor. They do not calm her in stressful situations but do help her sleep better. I started having issues a few months or so ago when I found that while some were intact many of the treats were broken into small pieces. The amount of broken pieces just seems to increase every order. I was also ordering another product from this brand & had the same issue. They are too expensive for the quality to be at this level. I will be looking for another brand of beneficial dog treats

My Chihuahua has terrible separation anxiety. He has to be crated while I am out or he will destroy whatever is in front of him (in the crate he just destroys what he can reach). When I get home he's so keyed up it takes at least two hours (and two walks) to get him to calm down. Obviously he doesn't like being crated, but if he's not he will destroy the walls, carpet, etc. I've tried numerous products (soft chews, drops, etc.) to try and manage his anxiety. Nothing has worked. I received this product (the peanut butter "flavor") yesterday, and offered some to Jupiter. He REFUSED it and he loves peanut butter. I don't blame him, they SMELL WRETCHED*. So I put a little (real) PB on it. He licked off the PB and walked away from the rest. Next, I mashed up the "test" dose, mixed it into some PB and gave it to him on a spoon. Eureka! He went right for it. Now we just need to find out if he has any bad reaction to it and does it make any difference in his anxiety/hyperactivity levels or not. Update: The first day I left him alone after ingesting about half a chew I came home to find he'd had what we consider a bad day. I don't have a spy camera so I don't know at what point he went nuts and tore at the mat under the crate and pulled his extra blanket into the crate and chewed (yet another) hole in it. I didn't give him any over the weekend. This morning I decided to try again. I mushed up 1/4 of a chew and added some cream cheese to it. He ate all of it (even the bits that did not have the cream cheese on them). I put another 1/4 chew into his bowl. He took that out of the bowl and to the carpet (where he likes to eat his treats). At first he snubbed it, but after a minute he ate the 1/4 without any additional flavor "incentive". Granted he'd not had his breakfast yet, and was hungry. It will remain to be seen if he has a better day today than Friday. Updated: I gave him one without anything else on/mixed in, and he tossed it out of his crate. The bits he did eat did NOTHING to calm him. I discussed this with his vet and I am thinking about trying Prozac. I eventually returned it. * Note to manufacturer: While dogs (mine included) can often be indiscriminate about what they ingest (plastic, coins, poop) if you're offering something to them as a treat it shouldn't smell/taste like the bottom of a dumpster.

I was spectacle that this would help my dog calm down during the incredible windstorms that we have been experiences - BUT IT WORKED. My dog is about 14 pounds, so I used one chew - half in the morning and evening before his bedtime. What was important to me was that he would not experience an upset - he didn't. Our rescue dog loves the peanut butter flavor, just shake the container and he comes running. Also worked during a very loud thunderstorm. Zesty Paws - THANKS....

This works for my 6 lb. Biewer Terrier.

This is great Thankyou Amazon and Zesty Paws, my Two Boxers love these. I will be purchasing more in the future. THANKYOU again 🙏🏽🕉😊🐕🐾🐕🐾🐾🐾 Highly recommend!

I was really hopeful these would work, but my dog who is absolutely crazy about peanut butter wouldn't eat them 😞 Spent way too much on something that he doesn't like. He loves everything. Update: He is a 140lb dog and ended up eating 2 of the 3 I gave him, as per the directions, and they worked so fast!!

Please do not give this to your dog. My dog has been extremely sick all morning from this supplement. He only at 1/3 of a pill and he’s been vomiting nonstop and diarrheaing. We are now taking him to the vet. Please save your money and do not purchase this. I never write bad reviews but this definitely deserves 0 stars.

Works a lil bit ...

J’aime le produit, ça semble faire effet sur mon labrador mais je suis déçu que ça fait 2 commandes sur trois qu’on m’envoie un produit expiré depuis 3-4 mois??
