Kradle Calming Chews for Dogs -Vet Formulated with L-Theanine, Ashwagandha and GABA for Managing Normal Stress and Promoting Relaxation - Chicken Flavored Calming Supplement - 75 Soft Chews

My blind senior dog is a 14-lb Chihuahua. Despite her small size, she has a high tolerance to CBD, melatonin, and even medications like gabapentin and trazodone. I give her Kradle Calming Chews throughout the day (about three per day) to help manage her dementia. Without them, she paces constantly, walks aimlessly, and very restless. With the right combination — 3 Kradle Calming Chews during the day, 1 CBD chew in the early evening, and 6mg melatonin before bedtime (this amount is meant to be for a large dog, but that's how strong this girl is) — we’ve finally been able to manage her sundowning and daytime restlessness while still allowing her to be a playful and curious dog. She’s calm, but not completely drugged or sedated, which was a big concern for us when relying solely on gabapentin and trazodone. Before finding this combination, we barely slept at night, and her constant pacing during the day was especially challenging since we work from home. The ingredients in these chews work well alongside CBD and melatonin, and together they’ve been genuinely effective for our senior pup.

I was skeptical at first but ended up having a good experience. It help calm him, when my dog want active he was napping. The only tricky thing is getting the timing right to be the most effective when you need it. Otherwise we are very happy with it.

This is my second purchase of these chews. My Beatle hates thunder storms and fireworks. These chews help her calm down.

My 100 plus pound German Shepard/Husky mix baby is extremely scared of storms and loud noises. We've used a lot of different anti-anxiety products and this one works the best! He has not had any negative side effects. He seems to like the taste and will eat them even without us disguising them with peanut butter, cheese, etc. This is our go to product and for the price it can't be beat!

Does absolutely nothing for my dog! I gave it a 3 because I know every dog is different! I wish I could return it!!

I find the Kradle Calming. Chews to be very effective in relaxing my dogs while I am out. They also seem to like them and they can be pretty picky in accepting treats.

I started giving these to my dog before bed to calm him so he goes to sleep. He is a very high strung dog so I like for him to have a little help calming down before sleep for the night. I don’t know if it is the taste or the calming but he absolutely loves them! He comes and sits in front of the dresser where I keep them and waits for me to give him his “night treats”. They come in a distinctive container that is pretty sturdy which is something I like… you know it is closed properly when you hear the click. I will say I think it does make a mess when you are shaking the treats out. They are pretty dry and have a lot of “crumbs”. The smell is not offensive which I also like. I have tried lots of calming treats for my dogs and I have encountered some that smell so bad I don’t even like to open the container and my dog refuses to eat them. Now for the pricing. It does get expensive when you have a large/giant dog. I have a 95/100 lb Weimaraner and a Great Dane puppy who is at least 80 lbs at 8 months old. Since the serving sizes are noted by weight I go through 8 or 9 a night and suddenly 75 in the container doesn’t seem like a ton. When I am getting low I usually cut the amount they get until I order more. They would be an awesome value for someone with a small or medium dog. My dream would be for them to be formulated into larger treats for large / XL dogs, smaller for medium and keep the same for small. Even though the container is cool and I like the top for its easy snap closed lid, it is pretty thick plastic. It seems wasteful to have to toss them, especially as quickly as I go through them! I have decided to start putting other treats in the empties when I get them but there are only so many one can keep around! Even though they get a little pricey I did give them a 5 star rating because like I said I have tried many calming treats and these are the only ones my dog loves. He knows when it is bedtime and runs upstairs to sit nicely for his “night treats”.

Zero stars but I have it 1 cuz it made me. Completely ineffective. Made no difference in my dogs anxiety. 0 out of 10 do not recommend

Our dog is 100 lbs and doesn't know it. He thinks anyone taking off their shoes is signaling "playtime". We give him these chews an hour before visitors and then again an hour after visitors usually 2-3 hours apart. He is calmer and allowed to visit with guests.
