Q: For a dog that is now left alone because of work during the day, can this be given daily? or just occasionally?

submitted by BarbaraRealtor - 7 months ago
  • A: Hi! Thanks for the question. The Advanced Calming Bites can be given daily. We recommend beginning with half the suggested use for seven days and then taking it up to full dose. We also highly recommend keeping your dog's vet in the loop about any new product you wish to include in your fur baby's regimen. If you have further questions, you can also email us directly at bark@zestypaws.com

Q: Do these have to be taken every day to be effective or can they be given to my dog only right before a car ride, fireworks etc?

submitted by Puggy - 4 years ago
  • A: We recommend giving the Calming Bites daily for the best results, and about an how before an anticipated stressful event. If you have an event (such a holiday fireworks) coming up, we suggest giving the dose for a few weeks leading up to the event. :)

    I gave my dog the correct dosage of these and she acted like a different dog. She vomited, went and hid and chewed up a rug. She has never done anything like that and it was the only change on her diet.

    Absolutely a waste of time and certainly money. My 75 lb German Shepherd refused to take them. I had to crush them and mix with human food. They also didn't work. He's just as hyper as before. I will be getting an Rx from the vet.

    Our GSD has anxiety. Zesty Paws calming treats are the only ones he will eat that don't make him sick. We like that they are natural unlike the harsh drugs the vet gave us to use. I'm so glad Target started to carry them

    Do not recommend, Daughter purchased these for our typically barky, playful, energetic yorkie. It definitely made him more chill than normal, definitely not his usual self, but also caused runny stools and upset his stomach where he didn't want to eat or play for long. I do not recommend using this product. I will take my Yorkie his normal self any day!

    OUr 7.5 year old dog has a lot of energy and chases everything that goes buy our house (invisible fence). Gets very excited with other dogs walk by, people, UPS/mail man. He recently tore his CCL due to these shenanigans. Been wanting something to keep him calm and not so needing to be 'the police' of our house. I started the 1st week with one in the morning (to make sure no digestive issues) and 2nd week started giving in p.m. also. I believe it has already started to keep him calmer.

    Increased Heart Rate and Breathing

    1 out of 5 stars
    Koda - 11 months ago
    originally posted on http://zestypaws.com
    When giving this to my two puppies at 14 weeks old, I noticed a huge difference in their breathing and heart rate per minute and they would start panting. They would have a really high heart rate and would be breathing almost 100 breaths a minute. It had me really concerned. It was almost like an adverse affect on them as they become restless when I tried to put them to bed. Whining and couldn't lay still. The next day they slept all day long once the treat had worn off and they weren't so restless. I'd say it's different for each cat/dog that consumes it but I won't be giving it to my animals again.

    I bought these yesterday for my one year two month old dog. I gave him one last night at about 7pm. This morning I was so concerned about him. He didn't want to eat (and he loves to eat) was sluggish, and shaked sometimes. He arched his back a few times like he was going to vomit. I almost took him to the vet but I waited a bit longer. At 4pm today, he seems back to normal. I will not be giving him these again. He did fine with the Zesty Paws Puppy calming chews. I'm not sure what is going on with these as I see several people have posted similar experiences.

    ZestyPaws is my go to brand for dog supplements. These calming treats really seem to help my dogs in stressful situations. I recently took a roadtrip with my pups and gave them their recommended dose before taking off. They were happy to snooze the whole 5 hour drive until we got to our destination.

    I bought a 30 ct bag of these from my local TSC for my senior Chihuahua who has sundowners. The first night I gave her half the recommended dose. Little to no effect. The second night I gave her the full dose and it had the total opposite effect. She was even more restless and anxious than she was without it. I also gave my ACD a dose to calm him because storms making him anxious and it really seemed like it helped him relax. I didn't notice any signs of stomach upset in either dog. Purchase at your own risk. I would be willing to try a different version of this one but I probably wouldn't recommend this particular product.

    The reviews sounded SO GOOD so I thought these would be perfect for traveling with my puppy. Thank god I tested them out beforehand because oh my god they made him even more hyper. He was bouncing off the walls till all hours of the night. I've never seen him like this and I followed the directions exactly as they were written. Be sure to test them before you really need to use them! I will NEVER be giving these to him again…

    We fed them to our dog consistently and it would make her more anxious. She’d pant, cry more, be more jumpy. So it definitely did not work for her. Especially at night in her crate, without them she’d fuss a little then sleep, with them she cries a minimum of 30 minutes.
