Miracle powder
I was skeptical at first when I saw this but was recommended by a family member for my high anxiety dog.This works so well and the dogs love it. I noticed a difference after about a month, both dogs just seemed calmer. We’ve been using this for a few years now and when we run out I can notice a difference after just a few days. They are definitely calmer with this and more relaxed.

Helps My Nervous Boy
My nervous boy is a picky eater and Iâve tried so many calming products to help him with his pacing and separation anxiety. I have tried drops, chews, calming collars, sprays and treats at all price points. Nothing has ever worked. Before resorting to a daily medication, his veterinarian recommended that I sprinkle this on his dry food or on his treats and asked me to commit to using it for 3-4 weeks. Not only can I tell a big difference in his anxiety level but he actually loves the taste! I simply put a few treats in his little food dish and sprinkle the packet on the treats (1/2 a packet in the am and 1/2 packet before bedtime). He eats his treats and then licks all the powder out of the dish, too! Within a week there was such a positive change in my sweet boy that the price is definitely worth it! If youâve tried everything else, give this a try!

Helps our dog
Calming Care has helped our 15 pound terrier mix to have a healthy tummy, and keep his cool. He definitely seems like he’s a little more “go with the flow” and less concerned about variations in his usual routine when he is taking this consistently. He’s a very picky eater and has no problem with the flavor or texture when added to his regular food.

Helps!
This product is slightly pricey but it helps our hyper pup and thatâs the most important thing.

No difference
My dog loved the taste of it and had no problem getting her to take it but I noticed no difference in her anxiety. Didnât have the calming effect I was hoping for. I have a 93 pound Shepard and gave it to her for 30 days straight with little to no improvement.

Worked really well
These worked really well if we kept on a consistent schedule and time given. I noticed it having a lesser effect if given at different times, but that may be just because my dog is a creature of routine. I also really reeeaaalllyyy liked that it had an actual calming effect and didnât just zonk him out. I want my dog to be less stressed, not drugged up.

High energy dog relaxes well
I have an Aussie/Red heeler. She is high energy and at nights we struggled to help her relax. Started giving this to her in the evening 3 years ago and she won’t let us forget it in her dinner since. Her mood is better and she is able to sleep during the night.

Works well but this is TOO HIGHLY PRICED, same as Probiotics Bifidobacterium Longum BB536
This probiotic works VERY WELL in perhaps most dogs. We are so much a product of what is colonizing our guts, human and beast alike! We don’t even realize that what we eat AFFECTS WHAT WE THINK (this is an entire field of research and it is fascinating and well established!)This is a HIGHLY DESIRED PROBIOTIC, butPURINA IS CHARGING TOOOO MUCH FOR THIS PROBIOTIC …(current pricing January 2024 is over a dollar a day! Available in January 2024 in other packaging for less than 25 cents per day!)…simply because of their name, the perceived exclusive access, and some broth flavoring.>>>Instead, search forProbiotics Bifidobacterium Longum BB536…Available here on Amazon, and save yourself a lot of money, and send a message to Purina that we consumers can research medical literature and figure out that Bifidobacterium Longum BB536 is the EXACT SAME probiotic!Some bacteria have been given a different name in the past to now, the same as plants can have more than one botanical name — actually they have an older name and a corrected updated name.It is common for example in te plant trade for nurseries to not give up an old botanical name and yet current scientific literature has the new botanical name. So one must know both names to learn accurate information about such particular plants.That is what is happening here.Research it for yourself if you desire on Google Scholar and other published science search sites.It did take me a day of research to figure it out, but I had a hunch that since I could not find this name ANYWHERE — WHY IS THAT??? — that there was perhaps another name at play.Why would Purina be the ONLY access to a particular probiotic??!!! That answer is: THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ACCESS.And what else is happening here is that Purina has found a lifesaving control for anxious pets, and priced it obscenely high.Search for BB536 and save yourself a heap of money. Break open the capsules and sprinkle on pet’s food.Watch their calmness levels increase.Highly recommend the probiotic. I do use other of Purina’s products for quality at a decent price.Wake up Purina and stop gouging the public.
