Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements Calming Care - Calming Dog Supplements - 30 ct. Box

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Calming Care was suggested by my veterinarian. We took our German Shepherd to have her checked, because she was randomly deciding to nip at people making deliveries. (We now have to pick up our packages at FedEx). She is getting older and we wanted to make sure she was okay. We changed her dog food to pro plan salmon. The vet said either turkey or salmon because they are low-key animals. I do believe the combination has really helped she has been on it for 2 months and seems a lot more mellow.

I bought this for a special needs dog who had numerous disabilities. It very much helped her to relax. I started out sprinkling a wee bit in her food, until we figured out how much she needed to find her sweet spot to relax without using too much. Our veterinarian suggested this. We bought our first box from the clinic, then found it for less in here.It smelled like meat, she liked it. Simple to use, I just sprinkled it in her meal and stirred it in. She could function normally for her, while this calmed her and let her be her.**We used with our other dog who has fear of fireworks, and it helped immensely.Definitely would buy again and suggest to others.

We’ve been using this for about a year now and it has made such a positive impact on my dog’s anxiety. He used to have these weird bouts of pacing, panting, shaking. Almost like panic attacks every now and then. I looked up ways to help and came across this product so gave it a try. After about the two months or so, I could see he had less stress. He hasn’t had a panicky episode since we started. He’s 10 and can be super picky with new treats and foods, but he scarfed this up on the first try and eats it with his dinner every night without issue. I would recommend this for anyone whose dog may have some anxiety.

We added this to our Great Danes food plan based on our vets suggestion. IDK if there’s visible behavior impact but her stools have stiffened and her coat is super shiny and healthy.

This is the only thing that has saved my German shepherds sensitive stomach. He used to get the liquid poops often until this. Been using it once a day for a few years now

To be honest, the product may, or may not help…(The product does state it may not help with calming your dog.)We used the product for 60+ days, but unfortunately we didn’t find it providing any marked, positive, results for calming our high energy level dog.If there’s a positive outcome using the product, signs should become evident in 30 ~45 days.

Has helped our dog to take the edge off.

This probiotic works VERY WELL in perhaps most dogs. We are so much a product of what is colonizing our guts, human and beast alike! We don't even realize that what we eat AFFECTS WHAT WE THINK (this is an entire field of research and it is fascinating and well established!)This is a HIGHLY DESIRED PROBIOTIC, butPURINA IS CHARGING TOOOO MUCH FOR THIS PROBIOTIC ...(current pricing January 2024 is over a dollar a day! Available in January 2024 in other packaging for less than 25 cents per day!)...simply because of their name, the perceived exclusive access, and some broth flavoring.>>>Instead, search forProbiotics Bifidobacterium Longum BB536...Available here on Amazon, and save yourself a lot of money, and send a message to Purina that we consumers can research medical literature and figure out that Bifidobacterium Longum BB536 is the EXACT SAME probiotic!Some bacteria have been given a different name in the past to now, the same as plants can have more than one botanical name -- actually they have an older name and a corrected updated name.It is common for example in te plant trade for nurseries to not give up an old botanical name and yet current scientific literature has the new botanical name. So one must know both names to learn accurate information about such particular plants.That is what is happening here.Research it for yourself if you desire on Google Scholar and other published science search sites.It did take me a day of research to figure it out, but I had a hunch that since I could not find this name ANYWHERE --- WHY IS THAT??? -- that there was perhaps another name at play.Why would Purina be the ONLY access to a particular probiotic??!!! That answer is: THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ACCESS.And what else is happening here is that Purina has found a lifesaving control for anxious pets, and priced it obscenely high.Search for BB536 and save yourself a heap of money. Break open the capsules and sprinkle on pet's food.Watch their calmness levels increase.Highly recommend the probiotic. I do use other of Purina's products for quality at a decent price.Wake up Purina and stop gouging the public.
