What are calming treats for dogs and how do they work?

Helped my dog relax!
I got these calming supplements to help my dog settle down more easily. He enjoys the taste, which is a big plus, and I’ve already noticed a difference...he seems more relaxed and able to unwind. These calming chews have helped right away, and I’m really happy with the results!

A Lifesaver for My American Akita & Pitbull!
I was honestly skeptical about calming chews at first, but these ones have completely changed my mind. I have an American Akita and a Pitbull — and while I love their personalities, they both can get anxious during thunderstorms, fireworks, and even car rides.
After introducing these chews into their routine, the difference has been night and day. Within about 30–45 minutes, they’re noticeably more relaxed.
What I really appreciate is that these chews don’t mess with their personalities — they’re still alert and playful, just way more manageable in stressful situations. The Akita especially seems more at ease during car rides now, which used to be a nightmare.
They also love the taste, no forcing, no hiding it in peanut butter , they take them like treats.

Great for stressful moments
My 4 year old bernedoodle absolutely loves these. I give them to him prior to stressful events like fireworks, meeting new people and more- they help significantly.
