Many dogs suffer from an imbalance in their gut flora, which can have an impact on their overall well-being. That’s why probiotics are becoming increasingly popular in veterinary medicine. 

Pro Plan Calming Care is a natural way to reduce anxiety in dogs, and in a study conducted by Purina, 90% of dogs experienced a reduction in anxious behavior.

The recommended dosage is one packet daily, but remember to consult your vet to confirm it’s optimal for your pet.

L-theanine and L-tryptophan are two compounds that can help alleviate your dog’s anxiety triggers and promote a sense of calm. The addition of melatonin in Solid Gold treats may also help reduce hyperactivity and encourage restful sleep.

Many pet parents have found these treats highly effective in improving their pet’s mood. However, it’s important to note that the company suggests starting with a lower dose to monitor for potential side effects before gradually increasing to the full dose. 

Remember, it’s not safe to double or triple the dose, even if you feel the effect isn't as significant as you had hoped. If your dog experiences extreme lethargy or difficulty breathing, it’s essential to discontinue these treats immediately and seek advice from a veterinarian.

Type: Baked treats | Active Ingredients:  Valerian root, passionflower, niacin, thiamine | Quantity:  4 or 12 | Flavor: Peanut butter

Heavenly Hounds Peanut Butter Chews are a tasty baked treat for dogs with a calming effect. The product contains passion flowers, which can help boost mood, and valerian, which produces a mild sedative effect. Peanut butter chews are an excellent option for pet owners who prefer to avoid hemp, which is found in many other calming dog treats.

However, it can be challenging to determine the correct dosage for your dog, as you need to divide the chew based on your dog’s weight. For example, a dog weighing up to 10 pounds will require a quarter of a square to get good results.

What We Like:
• Natural, wholesome ingredients
• Highly palatable
• Made in the US

What We Don’t Like:
• Contains real peanut
• You have to keep the unused bits refrigerated

The company also offers a full money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the product within 30 days.

What We Like:
• Dogs love the duck flavor
• Good calming effect
• Easy to chew
