I'm glad I bought them they're keeping him a little calmer now after a whole bag! Giving him two or 3 a day!

Not just nervousness
I adopted my pup from the humane society at 4 months. She was super sweet and super excited about EVERYTHING. Zoomies were an all day thing for her. When our older dog passed away when she was 8 months she went crazy. Started going after other dogs and cats and became a hormonal teenager without any control. We went to a behaviorist who said her inability to control her emotions is likely because she was weened too early and she needed the hormone from momma dog milk. This got it, we gave it to her, along with wearing an adaptl collar and instant better happy pup. It helps her manage her emotions and hopefully we won’t need it past puppy puberty.

My Dog is Noticeably Calmer!
My dog has some anxiety especially in new situations or where there are sudden loud noises. His nervousness presents as trembling and panting, and after chatting with my vet, we decided that a calming supplement could be worth a try. I have been giving him this product for about a month now, and I have noticed a big improvement in his anxiousness! My dog is able to better cope when there are loud noises, such as thunder or if someone drops something loudly in another part of the house. He also has been more confident in new places and situations, such as when I took him to a friend's house for some playtime with her dog. He can be a picky eater, but he ate this supplement right up along with the rest of his food. My dog is about 50 lbs and I have been providing two chews daily with his meals. And the price can't be beat!

First Impression
Tried this for the first time today. The bag is tiny and the chews are small. It concerns me that one of these "chews" is for dogs under 25 lbs, I wish it was made for 10, or even 15, lbs and under as something made for 25 lbs seems like a lot for tiny dogs. Since my dog is only 6 lbs I only gave him half (plus it was also his first one). He ate it but didn't seem thrilled with the taste. It does have a strong smell (I have very little sense of smell so if I think the smell is strong, it is). About 30 to 40 minutes after giving him half he seemed zoned out, like he was in a trance. :( I really did not like that, it actually made me nervous. I know this is to calm him but I didn't expect him to be in a trance like state. I called his name and he didn't even look me (he ALWAYS looks at me when I call his name). One hour and 15 minutes after giving it to him I took him to the vet (previously scheduled appt, totally unrelated to the chews). He still shook like a leaf in car. There was construction right next door to the vet's office which caused the entire building to vibrate, plus the noise level was very loud. Needless to say, he shook the entire time but, given the circumstances, who could blame him. I couldn't truly form a full opinion but it did wear off about 2ish hours after giving it to him. The trance like state concerns me greatly.

What a positive change in behavior
My 9 year old corgi has anxiety issues occasionally that make her attack my 12 years old sweet corgi. Composure chews have almost taken that issue away. She gets one per day and she is good to go. She is much happier and more a part of out family, wanting to be doing activities instead of sleeping in her kennel like she used to do often.

Composure bite sized chews - Good !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Composure for Dogs - 30ct chews better than other chews product I have tried. My dog Winky can be fickle most of the time, he did finally take to the Composure Chews ate them regularly. So I knew he was a fan of the Chews ! I would/have purchased them since participating in the program. I am glad I became aware of the Composure Chews through this program, I would definetly recommend to friends, family and through social media about "Composure for Dogs - 30ct chews"

Great for nervous pups
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in TN and we are currently in our tornado season. I got to test out the Composure supplements for my dogs during a severe weather warning. We had a heavy storm with tornado warmings and had to seek shelter at my mother in laws and my dogs were very restless and anxious. I gave my dogs a treat and we cuddled down during the storm. I like to think the supplement helped my girls stay calm. I made up a bed for us and they jumped right in were able to relax. I will definitely keep these on hand to use as needed. I will also tell other dog parents about my experience if they also have pups who get anxious during certain events.

Truly Impressed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not aware of Composure before I was sent the sample to review it. By the time I got it my beautiful Sweet Pea had died. But I adopted a new companion and she has been a bit nervous. I gave her the Composure and she calmed right down. I've given it to her every time she starts to whine. It has helped every time. I love it. Bella seems to like the flavor a lot (although it's a bit stinky right out of the bag.) And it works!!! I will be buying this whenever I have the need.

My fur babies loved these chews
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fur babies are fairly high strung and bark at night. I gave them the chews as directed and it seemed to settle them down a bit. They seemed to really enjoy the taste also.
