ThunderWunders Dog Calming Chews | Thiamine, L-Tryptophan, Melatonin and Ginger | Can Help Relieve Stress from Separation, Storms, Fireworks & Travel (180 Count)

My dog likes their taste- she considers them treats. I like them because after taking a couple (she’s a 120# Bull mastiff- it takes a few) she no longer shakes uncontrollably due to thunder (or fireworks).They seem to take effect in about 30 minutes.

I have a German Shepherd with separation anxiety. You would think he would be worried about things like thunder and fireworks, but he is not. He just does not like for me to leave his sight. This is a new issue for him, so I am hoping it is a phase, but it was messing with my sleep because he would howl or moan when it was bedtime. He is only 65 pounds and could take four, but I have tried three and they work just as well. He is chill and relaxed and not drugged. Still alert enough to go inspect things outside with me after he takes it. Easy to use because he thinks he is getting a great treat. So apparently he thinks it tastes good. Now that means I am also getting sleep because I don't worry about him being sad or crying because he can't see me.

I've tried multiple products. I think this is so far the best that has worked for my dog. It does calm him, but he's still a bit anxious during thunderstorms. It at least keeps him from panting and walking back and forth. He's also more willing to go lay down rather than walk around the house shaking and potentially peeing due to being nervous. Also, this works when you also want your dog to get used to a sleeping schedule. Due to so many failed products, I gave up and resorted to taking my dog upstairs with supervision every time there were thunderstorms. He is allowed to free roam but not upstairs for safety reasons. This caused him to become confused on the rules as I had already trained him not to go upstairs. I gave him this a few nights when he started crying and chewing things randomly at night because he wanted to go upstairs despite no thunderstorms or fireworks. After a few days, this calmed him down and got him back to the schedule and rules. He's a lot calmer and I don't give it to him unless there are heavy thunderstorms or fireworks. I'm thankful that this somehow worked. Don't expect your dog to suddenly be impervious to thunderstorms. I think this does help to calm down some behaviors like panting profusely, shaking, walking around too much, etc.

My dogs love these calming bites. I give it to them about 45 minutes before I leave .

I have used these a few times on my 50lb springer spaniel who has travel anxiety. They work incredibly well, she will lay down and nap through a 5 hour car ride. However, she is not a fan of the flavor so I end up having to shove them into her mouth, and the last 2 times we used them, the dog had severe diarrhea the next day. It might just be a coincidence but I am too scared to try them again.

We tried trazodone, and it made our dog wired. So we gave this product a shot for pit bull mix here in Florida. Tonight during thunderstorms. It made her kind of stoned and a little sleepy, but she's not shaking anywhere like she did even on trazodone.She seems to appreciate pink floyd after it kicked in

My Belgian Malinois (AKA Maligator) can be a very scary girl to strangers and anyone she doesn't know if she isn't around me, my Sweetie or a good friend of mine who stays on my property. And as a former Military Veteran like myself, she's been around. When I adopted her I was told she saw action overseas as well as spending time as a K9 for a LEO agency here in AZ, so we have things in common.But it wasn't until the summer monsoons started up that I learned how MUCH we have in common. I was born in AZ and am familiar with the racket the monsoon can bring with the thunder and I've been around a LOT of shooting and cannon fire, but unless it is coming MY way, I'm not too bothered by it. (Just don't creep up behind me.)Evidently, my Pup, Lana, doesn't fare so well with the noises, though, because as soon as the thunder starts, she becomes VERY skittish and cannot stay still. She wants to hide and I can appreciate that.It turns out we both have PTS but she doesn't know how to work hers out so I bought theses chews hoping to give her some relief.It turns out that if I give her three, she gets pretty mellow as long as my Sweetie or I can hold her and rub her ears. Four chews and she is a catatonic zombie and I won't do that to her.So, YES, I can recommend these chews if your Pup is skittish around loud noises but read the instructions and administer per the directions. Lana should get four based on weight (She's a BIG Maligator for her size!) but like I said, I don't want her to be totally doped up.These also work around the 4th of July and New Years when people set off fireworks.Give them a try. I think they might solve most problems for Pups with fears of loud noises and probably other fears like riding in a car when going on vacation and such.Good Luck and Good Health to your Pup.H and Lana.

These seem to work but you have to give quite a few
