We were hopeful that these would offset our young dog’s anxiety about car rides. We have used natural remedies with our previous dogs & StrellaLab has a good reputation. These chews were not chewy as expected and were larger chunks…neither of our puppies wanted to eat them. We tried twice with our anxiety dog and both times he was sick (ie vomiting) before even getting into the car. StrellaLab reached out to us to try to resolve the issue. We are thankful for that-these didn’t work for us but we would give other products from this company a chance if needed.

Not the first one I try but the best yet ! The taste is not the best, sometime I have to put PB on it but It really calm my dog when im away ( stoped destroying and pooping ) so I’ll buy it again.

These are Amazing! My Pup gets really anxious during storms and these help Quite a bit! Word to the wise, try and get ahead of the storms and give them a bit ahead of time. They don’t make him “drunk”, just calm and relaxed.

Bought this to calm our puppy down, but didn’t calm her down at all, she’ still crazily energetic. I also gave it to our 4 yo golden lab. It smells horrible, I couldn’t bare to smell it, some might like it but I can’t stand it (smells like a mixture of mold with grass). Our puppy, willing to eat anything ate it, and our 4 yo isn’t exactly picky (though she dod hesitate when I first gave it to her) so I have no idea if it tastes good.
After giving it to them they started scratching and I noticed hives and rashes on them. I just stopped giving it to them, hopefully the hives and rashes will go away asap. (Our 4yo tried hemp prpducts before but never experienced any reaction)
Anyways… Didn’t work for us

I have a 12 year old, 80 lb. yellow lab, Chowder, who has arthritis in his back legs. I’ve been looking for a supplement that I can give outside of his Rimadyl which can be hard on his system overall. I was excited that there was a Chondriotin and Glucosamine product with some natural pain relief. Chowder has only been on this product for about a week or so, but I do notice some subtle differences already. He gets a few more spry moments galloping to the door and moves a bit more steady. I will say that I also feed Chowder Nulo Grain Free Senior Dog Food With Glucosamine And Chondroitin, which also has helped considerably. Chowder has been on the Nulo for several months which showed improvement from previous foods. However, he seems even more comfortable since taking these as well. I’ve stopped giving him Rimadyl since getting this and will only give that to him if he shows signs of extreme discomfort.
The little nuggets are about the size of a medium sized dog treat. They are a softer chew but not squishy like some of the pill pockets. Based on his weight and the recommendation, I started him with 3 little nuggets on the 1st day. I ended up backing that off to 2 nuggets as he fell asleep shortly after the 3 nuggets day. The 2 nuggets seems to work perfectly. I was also super happy that this hasn’t upset his system since giving him these. There’s been no upset tummy, itching or other side effects that you can sometimes see with supplements.
As anyone with a lab knows, there is not such thing as a food a lab won’t scarf down. He did initially hesitate taking this after sniffing it. I just tucked it back over to him and he gobbled it up. Now when he sees me grab the container, he’s right there and takes it without sniffing. I think it was just the initial smell of the hemp, which he’s never been around before. It doesn’t have a hemp smell to me, but I think he picked up a bit of a smell that was something different then what he’s known before.
I’ve tried various types of supplements and this option provides the best bang for your buck in terms of number of nuggets. With me giving him 2 nuggets a day, that container should last me about 45 days or so. I was previously using an item that sold for $70 and was only a month supply. I’ve also tried several powder additives to his food and I don’t see any improvement for him. I’ve been really happy with this one so far. I like that it’s Chowder friendly while still pocket book friendly too.
I also love that this is an American made product so I know the quality of ingredients is at a human grade level. Some of the other similar products aren’t not able to verify that.
If you have a pup who needs a little extra TLC, I would definitely recommend this product.

One of our little poodles developed an issue when driving (mostly with my wife!!! just kidding) He gets anxious and crys. We have tried other brands even graval .They hardly work. This one completely relaxes him but, now we have to force feed him as I do not think he likes the feeling. We only use it on longer rides . But it definitely works.

I’ve been trying out Strella Lab’s CALMING HEMP CHEWS for a variety of situations, like stress and anxiety, that can affect my Yorkie and my four Chihuahua senior girl dogs, all who weigh between 5- to 8.5-pounds.
One of my Chi’s, named Lilly, gets quite restless with a lot of unhappy vocalizing while traveling to the vet in her secured, open car seat. In addition, Lilly gets nervously anxious while seated on my lap in the vet’s lobby while waiting for her turn to get her yearly physical exam. She literally pants and “talk-howls” with repetitive, loud “Wah-Wah-Wah” wails. In addition, she varies between trembling, pulling away, and then getting stiff as a board while having her nails periodically trimmed by the vet’s technicians.
Last week, Lilly was scheduled for her yearly wellness exam, along with nail trims, so I gave her one of the CALMING HEMP CHEWS about a half-hour before we left for her vet visit. Much to my surprise, Lilly was much calmer and relaxed in her car seat while I transported her to the vet’s office. There was barely a sound of complaint.
In the waiting room, Lilly was more relaxed than usual and just had several little whimpers.
After we were in the exam room, I didn’t tell the vet or the tech that I had given Lilly one of the CALMING HEMP CHEWS prior to the visit to see if they noticed any uninfluenced differences in Lilly’s demeanor… and they did notice!
During her physical exam, Lilly was calm and chilled out with the vet. Then, the tech, who is familiar with Lilly’s anxiety issues, picked her up and carried her to a back room where she trimmed Lilly’s claws. When the tech handed her back to me she told me that Lilly was remarkably calmer and much more cooperative than she had been during her many previous nail trims. I was astounded that the Calming Chew had actually worked!
I have also tried giving the Calming Chews, on a daily basis, to my four Chi’s and Yorkie who will often obsessively lick or chew their paws or exhibit signs of PTSD. Of note, my scratchy Yorkie, named MaMa Dawg, takes prescription Apoquel tablets every 12 hours for her itching allergies, plus four of my dogs, including MaMa, take an OTC allergy tablet every 12 hours for their respiratory allergies that are related to genetic tracheal collapse issues.
All of my dogs are rescues that I adopted over the years, with several that came from a variety of difficult situations, such as hoarding, the death of their owner, or being dumped at a facility.
What I did notice, after a few weeks of giving my dogs the Chews, was some decrease of their licking and/or paw chewing habits. That said, any relief that they can get is a plus.
My pack’s alpha dog is a tiny, but mighty, Chihuahua-Corgi mix, named Little Babe. She is a very out-spoken and persistent barker in the vet’s waiting room, to the point that we almost immediately get banished to an exam room so that the receptionists can hear clients calling on their telephone system. Yesterday, a half-hour before Babe’s yearly wellness vet visit, I gave this little 5-pound tornado a Calming Chew to see if it would reduce her ear-piercing barking in the vet’s lobby. In this particular case, the Chew did not reduce Babe’s barking because she wasn’t anxious, she was simply a determinedly bossy brat-doggo who wanted every person and animal that entered the building to know that she was the Queen, present, and in charge.
The CALMING HEMP CHEWS are heart shaped, which is cute, and my dogs all like their taste. Because the chews have Ginger in them, they could possibly help dogs with sensitive stomachs while traveling.
There’s also a number of great, calming-effect types of familiar herbs that are included in the Chew’s formulation such as Valerian, Hemp Seed powder and oil, Chamomile, Passion Flower, L-Tryptophan, Melatonin, and Thiamine Mononitrate.
However, be sure to read the disclaimers printed on the jar’s label that warns that the Chews have not yet been proven as safe for puppies under 12-weeks old, pregnant animals, or those intended for breeding.
There’s also a printed caution with the concomitant (meaning concurrent with or something happening or existing at the same time) use with sedatives and MAO inhibitors (meaning monoamine oxidase inhibitors that are types of antidepressants), as well as a caution with using the Chews in conjunction with CNS (Central Nervous System) depressants. Of course, in these instances, consult with your vet first.
Additionally, which should be common sense, do not give any Calming Chews prior to a dog’s sedation or anesthesia and the Chews are not meant for human consumption. Do note that the amount of Chews, that can be given every 12 hours, are based on a dog’s weight that’s clearly stated on the label.
And finally, be sure not to exceed the manufacturer’s recommended dosages.

These have been great for calming my dog when I leave the house. The only thing I’ve found is there seems to be a tolerance buildup. Not something you want to give them too often. Maybe once a week. Otherwise they don’t seem to work well

Overall seems to be a great product for my female GSD, weighing around 90 pounds. She eats it with no problem (being a picky eater) and seems to generally have a calming effect. The only complaint I have is the value for money / size ratio. Per the container, a dosage is I think 3-4 chewable’s for her size, which can add up pretty quick and runs into the feasibility as a constant relief due to the price.

These smell terrible. Like really really bad, but im not eating them soooo.
Give 3 to my 60lb before I head out for work. She has terrible separation anxiety. These seem to calm her down to the point she just lays on the couch until I return to her.
4 stars only because they smelled bad.

Update: My dog got groomed the other day and I gave him one of these 30 minutes before his appointment. The groomer said he was much easier to work with and not nearly as fussy about his feet and face as he usually is.

I got these because my dog gets really anxious during thunderstorms. It worked out because the day that these arrived, it stormed that evening. I gave him one of the these and he was definitely more relaxed. They are in no way a miracle pill that just prevents him from being scared entirely but he wasn’t shaking in fear like usual though you could tell he was still not thrilled about it. I am going to give him one of these before his next grooming appointment and I’ll update the review with how his groomer says he did. I did not notice any sort of digestive issues after he took them like I had seen in some reviews.
Cons: They are very smelly and I can imagine if you have a picky dog they may not want to eat them but my little guy had no problem taking it.

Initially my dogs were not interested in the treats because of the smell. They are particular, and did not care for this. I didn’t see another option for flavor, the one I ordered was bacon. It does not smell like bacon. I masked the flavor by giving them another treat wrapped around it, which isn’t ideal, but I will work with that since it works.
The dose is accurate, I followed what is recommended for my dogs weight. The first time I used it I only gave her 2 treats because she is sensitive, instead of the 3 it recommended for a 55lb dog. It was not effective, and she was very anxious when we tried to clip her nails. The second time I used the product I gave correct dose and it worked much better. She does not like wind or thunder and we got a bad monsoon storm early in the morning this week. She was trembling and hiding, until I gave her the treats. It didn’t completely remove her fear, but I noticed she was significantly less stressed within 30 minutes of taking the treats and she wasn’t shaking afterwards. It did not make her drowsy or appear “drugged”. She was just overall more mellow and less stressed, which is a huge improvement. If only I could get another flavor that she would take without having to use another treat as incentive I’d probably give this a 5 star rating.

We were giving our dog Rx meds for loud thunderstorms. The problem with them was they took 4 hours to help. No good for the pop-up storms we’ve been having. I read the reviews and decided to give these a try. I wasn’t sure our dog was going to like them. When I opened the jar, the smell to me was not pleasant. Thankfully, she thinks they’re a treat. And the best part is they really work! She calms down in about 20 minutes when she used to be very uneasy and sometimes shake in fear.

I bought these 3 times and have given them to my dog who is almost 1 year old and my mom’s dog who is about 13 years old. They definitely work, but I generally find I have to give my dog 1 more chew than suggested on the label for them to work. It definitely calms him down and when he was a baby it helped him sleep through the night without crying or having any accidents which was a god send. They also kept him much calmer during car rides and going to high stimulus places like the vet and obedience classes. My mom’s dog is a senior with achy joints and they also seemed to soothe her during times when she just couldn’t get comfortable and would be grumpy because of it.
I could tell they were not their favorite flavor. My dog would do that thing where he would kind of spit it out or set it down and look at me like, “Got anything else? No? Ok… I guess I’ll eat this…” but he DID eat them. It was the same with my mom’s dog, you can tell they weren’t her favorite but she would eventually eat them. But as soon as a bought the third jar and tried to give them to the dogs, they both would spit them out like they were the most disgusting thing on earth. They would even wrinkle up their noses like they tasted something really offensive.
They had the safety seal on them, looked perfectly normal, felt fresh, and smelled the same so I don’t think they were tampered with or went bad or anything like that. But suddenly both dogs went from “not my favorite” to refusing to eat them under any circumstances. That’s saying a lot because my dog is a billy goat and I’ve literally had to stop him from eating plastic, garbage, bottle caps, cigarette butts, a kitchen sponge, feathers, vinegar tablets, etc. If they’d rather eat vinegar and a sponge than this “treat”, it’s got to be really bad. Even when I cover them in cheese whiz, wrap them in deli meat, stuff them into other treats, etc. they will find a way to pick it out or if they can’t, they refuse to eat any part of it.
Because the change was so drastic and suddenly appeared as soon as I gave them treats from the the third jar, I think they changed them somehow. Considering how expensive calming treats are and how frustrating it can be when they don’t work or the dog refuses to eat them, it feels like a huge waste of money. Before these, I was buying a much more expensive brand that the dogs seemed to enjoy the taste of and were just as effective, so I guess I’ll go back to those. I was hoping to save a bit of money, but I ended up wasting money instead. I didn’t give it 1 star because they were good enough at one point but it is still disappointing.

These actually made my corgi a bit more extroverted. I was surprised she didn’t run upstairs into the back of our walkin closet when we heard the first firework. That could mean she was more calm but she was almost hyped up. It wasn’t bad, at least she wasn’t quivering. I think I expected her to be “chill” haha. This could very well be the effect of the chews. I was most worried she would have stomach issues as she’s VERY sensitive to foods. Doesn’t digest well so I was concerned she’d have diarrhea from something new and she didn’t. I will try again next thunderstorm.

This stuff really works for our dog. We give it to her when company is coming, when there are fireworks outside, and when we are leaving her alone in the house.
Makes her calm and in many cases, she takes a nice nap.
