Give it before the moment, not during

It can take up to 24 hours to notice a difference, so for anything you can see coming, give the first chew the day before and again the morning of.

You might be noticing…

The signs before the storm

  • Pacing, panting or hiding when the sky gets loud
  • Shaking in the car, or refusing to get in
  • A dog who can't settle when guests arrive
  • Restless nights after a big day

These are routine stressors, and they are exactly what the Calming Chew was formulated for: to help maintain a calm, relaxed disposition through them, without sedation.

I’ve used the CBD chews a few times for car trips and it does seem to help. Thank you.

The cbd really seems to help my dog and he loves the taste. The treats are small and well packaged. I will reorder for sure.

I have noticed some improvement. Today for the 1st time thunder was rolling and my dog kept eating her carrots and no shaking and heavy breathing. She's even sleeping better.

Our 2 Aussies, 13 and 14, get around so much better taking these. We give them each one 2 x a day. It's made a world of difference.

“Calmer, not sedated. That was the whole brief.”

So many families asked for something for storm season and car rides that wouldn't knock their dog out. The Calming Chew is hemp extract plus L-theanine, nothing that flattens a dog's personality.

Questions, answered

How far ahead should I give it?

It can take up to 24 hours to notice a difference. For an event you can predict, give the first serving the day before and again the morning of.

Will it make my dog sleepy?

No. The formula is designed to help maintain calm without sedation. Your dog should stay alert and themselves.

Can I give these every day?

Yes. Many families use them daily through storm season or a stretch of travel, and support builds with consistency.

Can I use these alongside other supplements or anything my vet has prescribed?

Keep your veterinarian in the loop, and tell Dr. Shu what your dog takes when you book a free product consult.

What if my dog won't eat them?

They are soft, peanut butter flavored, and most dogs take them by hand. If yours doesn't, the 30-day guarantee has you covered.
