VetriScience Composure

These Calm & Confident chews have been a game changer for my dog. They help take the edge off anxiety without making my dog overly sleepy or sluggish. I’ve noticed a big improvement during stressful situations like storms, visitors, and car rides. My dog loves the taste, which makes giving them easy, and they start working fairly quickly. I also appreciate that the ingredients are vet-formulated and feel safe for regular use when needed. If you have a dog that struggles with anxiety or nervousness, these chews are definitely worth trying. They’ve made a noticeable difference for us, and I will continue to keep them on hand.

I have a senior dog who started developing pretty bad separation anxiety as he got older. He used to cry a lot whenever he was left alone. I started introducing these chews slowly and worked up to the full dose, and they’ve made a huge difference. He’s much calmer, less anxious, and way more relaxed overall. He also actually enjoys the chew and has never had any issues eating it, which is a big plus. I’m honestly so glad I found this because it’s helped him so much, and you can really tell he’s more at ease now.

I picked up these VetriScience Calm & Confident Chews because my dog treats thunderstorms, fireworks, and the mailman like the end of the world. After a few days of use, I swear he’s auditioning for a meditation app. He’s calmer, less jumpy, and actually seems confident enough to walk past the neighbor’s lawn gnome without barking at it. They look like little treats, so my dog happily gobbles them up — no pill pockets or trickery required. And they don’t have that weird chemical smell some calming chews do. Bonus: they didn’t turn him into a zombie, just a more chill version of himself. Pros: • Helps with anxiety from loud noises, travel, or new situations • Easy to give — dogs think they’re treats • Gentle calming effect without drowsiness • Made with natural ingredients like L-theanine and colostrum • Great value for the number of chews in the bag Minor feedback: Results aren’t instant — it takes a little consistency to see the full effect. Also, if your dog is a hardcore stress case, you may need to pair these with training or other calming strategies. Final thoughts: If your pup is more “panic at the disco” than “peaceful nap,” these chews are worth a try. They won’t solve every problem, but they definitely take the edge off and make life calmer for both of you.

Purchased this product for my neurotic and phobic dog, specifically for the recent 4th of July fireworks, but more generally for the daily thunderstorms we experience here in central Florida in the summer. I gave this product an overall rating of 3 stars because the product worked as described when I was able to force-feed it to my dog. It would be an excellent value compared to other similar products IF my dog would willingly take it, but because she will not, makes it useless to us but not necessarily for you. I rated the taste and scent 1 star each and only because 0 stars wasn't an option. The following is my fully detailed review: I don't like the side effects she gets from Benadryl; melatonin (while very helpful) doesn't relieve her symptoms enough. I purchased this product based on the great reviews and good value for the money compared to similar type products. I also wanted something more natural but not in the CBD category due to the recent influx of counterfeit/unregulated products flooding the market. I was thrilled to try this product. I LOVE my dog and she HATES (duh!) taking "medicine." I love the idea of her getting the relief she needs without the daily fight to force-feed her medication only contributing to her fear response. Based on recommendations and reviews, so many dogs seem to love the taste and smell of these medicated treats that I felt excited to try them! My dog was NOT on the "love the taste" team. She took them with ease and excitement on the first day I tried them. I got them in time to do a trial run during a bad storm prior to the few days of fireworks for Independence Day that I knew would cause her constant shaking, stomach upset, and anguish. On the second day, when she would need the relief the most, she would not take them! I tried EVERYTHING to hide them, disguise them, and/or bribe her to take them with no luck. As previously reviewed by many, these have a strong odor that is impossible to mask with cheese, chicken, lunch meat, etc. My dog won't eat peanut butter so I don't know if that would help others. While these are comparatively small for "treats" they are very large as a medication that requires me to essentially shove them down my baby's throat. By the way, I have a small (under 10 pound shih tzu mix) dog so this may not be as problematic for someone with a larger dog. They are also a rough texture making me feel even worse about forcing her to take them without chewing them. Because I discovered this product too late to buy a substitute, I broke them in half and forced her to take them. That all being said, this product seemed to have worked exactly as described! We had the most calm 4th of July we have had in her young 4 year old life! We took our normal steps to help her: stayed nearby, turned the TV up loud, wrapped her snuggly in a blanket when she wanted, offered soothing comfort and support when needed while not making too big of a fuss over her. Her shaking and need to hide was greatly diminished, the constant panting was eliminated, she didn't experience the diarrhea she often gets when having severe phobia. While she didn't love the night of constant booming noises or the following days of idiocy to follow, she seemed far less distressed. I was thrilled with the effectiveness. Unfortunately, for us, this product isn't a consistent option. It might be great for someone whose dog only requires it a couple times a year. Forcing it into our baby on a daily basis for months in the summer will only add to her trauma. Sadly, because I had to use some of these, I don't feel I can pursue a refund or return. I will continue to try to find another similar product, maybe a liquid formulation, for our four-legged friend. I desperately wanted this to work for us. If you want to try it, make sure you don't have a picky eater or be prepared to force-feed it because, at least for my fur baby, she hates the taste! Do a trial run for several days before you really need them, in case your experience mimics my own. Best of luck to you and your family in your quest to find relief for your family pets. I did not receive this product free or discounted in exchange for a review. I found it on my own, researching as you are now.

Our girl will actually eat these voluntarily which is a huge plus. They actually work too. Our girl has always been a bit jumpy and fearful. Training and socializing haven’t helped. We tried Solliquin chews. She didn’t like them and they did nothing for her. By the second day on these she was already much less fearful. I’ll keep buying as long as they keep helping her.

Gave my dog loose stools instead of calmness.

Ich kann natürlich nicht garantieren, dass es an den Leckerli liegt, aber meine Maus ist extrem ruhig, wenn ich sie ihr vor z.B. Auto- oder Zugfahrten gebe. Ich bin jedenfalls sehr zufrieden.

Molto buona ma non la trovo più.

These worked for my shih tzu. She is bothered by loud noises on a regular basis. We are still experimenting with giving 1 pill daily then an extra when an event happens or just 2 whenever an event happens. So far pleased with the results.

This works really well for my cocker spaniel who is terrified of thunder storms and fireworks. Much better than meds prescribed by my vet!
