Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements Calming Care - Calming Dog Supplements - 45 ct. Box

My dog Josie is a rescue dog, she's a black lab mix, I got her in November when she was 8 months old. She was abused and was a very anxious dog. She hates being indoors because she feels trapped it seems. You can imagine this is a problem since I need her to be an inside dog.Over the course of a few months I have managed to get her to be as comfortable as she can be inside. Taking her for walks and to the dog park everyday was the key to that. But lately, the last month or so in particular, she has started to regress. She no longer will even come into my bedroom because she feels trapped having only one exit (I assume). I would prefer if she slept on the bed with me at night but she hasn't done that now in weeks. Worse, she has started to bark at people, something she never had done before. She even growled aggressively at my 8 year old nephew. She just was in a bad place. I knew something had to be done.So I decided to try this, expensive, but I was desperate. The change was subtle but really was noticeable even on the second day. She started to come into by bedroom just a little bit at a time, peaking her head in the door. The next day, she stayed longer. The next day, she jumped on my bed. Slow and steady, but progress all the same. At this point, just after a week, she hasn't barked at anybody in a few days now despite going to the park a few times. In fact as I type this review, she is currently laying down on my bed peacefully, something she hasn't done in at least a month.So I'm impressed! I'm going to keep going forward with this. I'll update my review if anything changes, but so far very good results. My hope is that she'll sleep in the room again eventually, but, even if she doesn't, the changes she's already going through are well worth the money and time for me.I'll add at first she didn't want to take this. I mixed it in wet dog food and she knew something was off and wouldn't touch it. So I left it out and walked away thinking maybe she'd try again later. She did, it was gone some hours later. The next day she went ahead and just ate it right up and it no longer seems to bother her.Also on a plus side, her bowel movements seem to be a bit less runny and more large and thick like they should be so that's a major plus as well!UPDATE SECOND WEEKThings are going great. Even at this point she almost seems like a different dog. She's more gentle, more cuddly, she's spending a lot more time next to me like laying on the floor next to my bed, as opposed to distancing herself in private. Her mind just isn't as consumed with her anxiety. Her behavior at the park with barking continues to improve and she listens better.1 MONTHEven still I'm seeing positive signs in her behavior. Last night I woke up at about 1AM to find her sleeping on the bed next to me. She hasn't done that in months. Just be mindful that when a dog loses some anxiety, some other less desired personality traits might come forward. For example, she's been chasing the cats more and wants to play all day long, she just has so much energy. That's because she's not living in fear anymore. I'll take it!

The dog I got these powders for is an anxious, highly reactive, former street dog from Romania - he is generally on full alert most of the time, and it takes a lot for him to relax.I noticed a nice consistent improvement in his tummy (sometimes he holds it until he can't anymore, because he is too anxious to go outside in the yard to go to the loo when it's windy, or raining, or there's too much noise somewhere nearby in the neighbourhood) so that was great.Then, after about 3 weeks, I started to notice he seemed more relaxed, more at ease at home. He was sleeping/napping more heavily (instead of waking for the slightest noise or movement near him) like he did when he first joined our pack many years ago and we walked daily 5-6 miles. I've had to cut back on walking for various reasons (time, place to walk, and aging dogs) but I have recently made an effort to keep a more consistent routine for him, and this has also helped. So, this extra exercise and routine may also be helping, but I think the MAIN factor that lets me know that these powders are doing something positive is when out walking, he is 100 times better when dealing with other dogs being walked near us. He is calmer, more easily distracted by treats (focuses nicely instead of worrying about the other dog) and he's not had any of his reactive outbursts in at least 2 weeks now. It's a subtle change, but I have definitely noticed it.I will DEFINITELY be keeping up with this product, as I think it will continue to benefit my dog. I may even get a box for my other dog, as she's a little hyper and crazy and a bit anxious as well.

We've completed one full 45-day course of this probiotic now! The good news is, this product helps makes my dog more interested in his dinner! We have a picky pup (2 year old shiba inu) on our hands, and this undoubtedly has a flavor he enjoys. His bowel movements are vastly improved and regulated as well -- signs of an effective probiotic. As for claims about calming and relieving anxiety, we have yet to notice any significant difference. Unfortunately, he is just as nervous and anxious about the same situations as he was previously (new items, routines, strangers), but perhaps appears more curious 15% of the time which is a slight improvement. Likewise, he has not reacted poorly to the product, so that's a plus. It's super easy and simple to use, thankfully, and we definitely appreciate the regularities in his bowel movements now! Just a sprinkle a day over his evening meal and he's all set. Would highly recommend this as an easy to use probiotic, but your mileage may vary in terms of behavioral changes.

My dog seemed to have become quite depressed over the past year. We had lost our other dog adopted a puppy and moved into an apartment while building a home and then finally moved into our new home all in about the span of one year. She was withdrawn and not really herself. She would often hide and go off alone to sleep. She is only four years old so I was concerned she had some sort of medical issue going on. With a clean bill of health from the vet I decided to give this supplement a try after reading all the fantastic reviews online. I was skeptical at first but stuck with this supplement and started to notice results after a few weeks. She has been on the supplement for several months now and she is back to her old self. She is playful and happy and even will go outside in the rain now which she used to be afraid of because she does not like thunderstorms. She never had anxiety issues so I cannot comment on the effects of that but as far as appearing to have anti-depressant properties I give it a five star. It’s been amazing and I will never not give it to her again!

Seems to be a recurring issue of ordering and paying for the 45 count box but only receiving the package with the 30 count included.
