Solid Gold Calming Chews for Dogs with Melatonin for Storms & Travel, 120ct

It makes sense why they call these Solid Gold, it's literally what they are! I tried these after reading so many reviews, and also trying literally so many other things, but finally, something that works for my Pug. I have a spoiled AF 1 year old Pug who HATES the car. It doesn't matter if we're going to the dog park, beach, or 7 hours away, any amount of car time and he's a complete psycho in the car. He wines the entire time and not even wines, high pitch screeches that he never does any other place, besides the car. We just can't figure out why.We first tried benadryl, did nothing. Then we tried CBD, did nothing. Then we tried hard drugs from the vet, he faught them and stayed awake the entire time (6 hours), like a high school kid on ambien and we swear he was hallucinating, which made it even worse. I felt so bad, we never tried those again. We tried dramamine as I thought he could have motion sickness, as the whining wouldn't stop for 6 hours straight, until we got to wherever we were going. He also wouldn't sit still, he'd jump around and could never get comfy he wasn't even happy on my lap or in his carseat, or roaming around the backseat either, we've tried it all. We live in a remote town, so going out of town we're driving at least 6 hours. We felt so bad for him because something was obviously upsetting him and we couldn't figure it out! But, we figured it was just anxiety if the dramamine didn't help.This went on for a year, every time we'd leave town, we'd try something else, only for it not to work. We bought this during our most recent trip, when we tried dramamine on the way there and it didn't work. I saw these here, read reviews, and ordered them. On our last day being out of town, we gave him half a dose and went to Costco (which usually is very overwhelming for him as he gets anxious with lots of people and noises) and he was great and only barked once (which that guy looked sketchy to me, so I got it). Which gave us hope! We gave him his full dose the next day (about 30 minutes before we were leaving) and he was a complete angel in the car! He wasn't completely sleeping, but he was sitting on my lap, snuggling, and just relaxing! He closed his eyes a bit, but basically he was just CALM and at ease! I'm so thankful that he wasn't distressed seeming at all! Even when he was awake for a little bit, he just sat on my lap and looked out the window. He even ate some treats in the car, which he has always refused before (he's not a food driven pug, weird I know).The only thing is he woudn't eat these chews. But, that's not weird for him as he's incredibly picky with what he eats as his diet is all homemade human food. So, dog treats usually he won't even take and I dont really buy them. We had to shove it down his throat, but it was completely worth that in order to have him feeling good in the car. I can't wait to try this on our next trip out of town, which will be the real kicker as he always is 'better' on the way home (probably tired from vacation) versus leaving town. But, i have hope, I will update on that in a few months. THANK YOU!

I have a 7 yr old pit bull who refuses to have his nails cut. I mean the vet can’t even cut them. A trainer nicked his cuticle when he was a baby and he’s never forgotten. We’ve tried every trick in the book. The first day we got these I gave him half his dose and he rolled over like a baby to have his nails cut! They also help our English bulldog with separation anxiety. The dogs love them and think they are just treats.

My field bred high drive lab can fight her way through a max dose of these if people are coming over or there’s a swimming pool involved. However, if we get her to sit down long enough to let these hit she will mellow out and actually be pleasant to be around. These bring her intensity down a notch when we know it’s a situation where she has the opportunity to be psycho. Work as well as anything similar I imagine.

Oh my goodness!1st night- Two little chews that my sweet 3lb, toy poodle absolutely loved, put him right to ease at the end of the night.He usually is riddled with anxiety going into his kennel so, he’s been sleeping in the bed 😩.After one dose, he was so playful & happy then, when it came to bedtime in the kennel…. He was simply at peace & pranced right into it!No whining or clawing.Just relaxed & slept.That made all of our hearts happy & finally some good rest for everyone since, we got our bed back.Will be subscribing to this supplement, simply for his benefit.5 stars all the way!

I am very concerned about the safety of this product. The first ingredient on the container is a “proprietary combination of animal plasma, and one other ingredient”. Animal (and human) plasma is a product of blood and can transmit blood-borne diseases to the recipient of the plasmaif the donor is infected.Plasma is listed on the container, but not on the ingredients in the advertisement on Amazon. There is also no documentation that the plasma is screened nor is there indication that the animal from which it is an obtained is screened for these diseases.The criteria might be different for animals, but for humans the plasma donor must be screened for blood borne diseases and the plasma must be screened very carefully, so that plasma does not infect the human to whom the plasma is given. The diseases in plasma include HIV, hepatitis, and others.The criteria for animals might be different, but I am very concerned that plasma is not listed on the ingredients in the advertisement in Amazon although if you read the ingredients on the container, it is the first ingredient listed which suggests that it is the largest ingredient contained at least that is the way in which Human product including medications or herbal supplements.The one difference is that humans receive plasma, IV, and the product provides oral plasma which might have a different risk than receiving the IV plasmaI am just very troubled that this ingredient was not listed in the description of the product on Amazon but on the container it is very prominently listed and it is indicated that this is one of the most beneficial ingredients in this product. It is the first ingredient listed and it is my understanding, at least in Human medications and herbal preparations that are listed in order amount of ingredient contain productI did not give this to my dog, and I returned the product to Amazon although you will have to go through Amazon to do this because it is not a returnable product.I would strongly recommend that before you purchase this product that you pursue whether the donor animal and the plasma are carefully screened for blood-borne illnesses. I did not pursue this because I was so concerned, if you decide to buy it, I would be sure that it is carefully before you do.

At first my dog didn’t eat then. Then I put it on her tooth and she tasted it. Then ate them. I gave her 5 to see if she would sleep through the night. Lately she has beeen barking at 4 am. Put her outside to pee and she doesn’t. Then she comes in a barks.This med really helped her. I don’t want to do it every night just a few nights a week. She is getting older and I think she hears things. I’m 73 and I need my sleep. She kept it down and even wanted more. They are soft you can put it on their kibble

I use these for my 5lb yorkie. They work in calming him without upsetting his stomach. However, 3 stars because the smell after even slightly opening the container makes you want to gag. I truly wish I was being dramatic...

My fur baby is 7.5 pounds. I use 1/2 a "chew". He thinks he is getting a treat. A grand-dog is afraid of lightning and thunder, and these help him. That's how I learned about these. Mine has Cushing's disease, which increases some actions (like Momma leaving him home) that he never liked but didn't stress. Now he does; he gets 1/2 a chew before I leave the house. Easy to break off 1/2 of a "chew". No strong odor for me. Must smell good to him. As I said, he thinks he is getting a special treat.

It doesn't work but it gives my 3 mountain dogs the runs! Stay away because you can't return them either!!!!
