This is not cure for anxious or nervous dogs. Given in advance of the stressful event, it can help take the edge off their anxiety.

It does help my dog. He is very scared of loud noises. However it does take a while for them to work. He gets 1 every am and one around dinner time. Every day. We don't give extra for storms. He still shakes but now comes to us for comfort instead of hiding.

Depending on size of dog, I would give anywhere from three to six tabs 45 min to an hour before a storm

The best thing to do is just try them. You may have to try different doses-some dogs need more some less and it's not always based on size. Our dog is just over ten lbs and takes the med-large size chews.

This will help but not completely. You need to work with your dog befitting & during to minimize the effects of the storm.

I have been giving to my nervous, high strung, itchy dog. I really don't notice any difference, but I am still using it just in case. I think some of her itching is nerves.

Works for my 5 year old female Lab. She's ok with thunderstorms, (sometimes), but can't stand fireworks. At the onset of a storm or fireworks, I give her about 3 of the Composure Pro and within 20 minutes she's a lot calmer and goes into her crate and falls asleep. I'm really impressed with these chewy treats, they really do work! My Lab is 75 pounds so 3 or 4 tabs is ok for her...their like soft doggie treats!

It "may" if the excited is strictly an anxiety issue. Most of the time that is a behavior issue that needs specific training methods to improve (yes, I am a dog trainer). I do prefer the ThunderShirt style over this AKC brand style (I have tried both of them). It wraps different and is a little sturdier of a material, imo.

My understanding is they are natural, my dog does not have any side effects, just calms her during bad weather. Do have to give them to her early, before the storm gets too bad.

No, I just checked the label and it clearly states "For Dog Use Only." I'd suggest TicTacs or Altoids to help with your problem. :-) j/k! If you need more info, I can take a pic of the label/instructions and email that to you. Take care!

My 85lb 10 yr old dog suffered from stress from thunderstorms and would start pacing and shaking whenever a storm began. Hse's been on this product for about 6 months now and there's a noticeable difference. It has reduced her anxiety by about 70% - 80%. She still gets a little stressed but nowhere near as bad as she was.

I use it because my dog startles easily. Will jump up when sleeping, etc. He hasn't had any startling incidents since I've been using it. He was very fearful of new people and things. He seems much more at ease now. He doesn't have any fear of thunder storms, but I have heard that it works for that, also. Hope this helps.

About half an hour before the trip would be best. I use these for thunderstorms and give them to my dog as soon as it looks as if it might storm. Once the storm hits, my dog is too nervous to eat anything - including these. When I give them to her in advance, she loves these biscuits. They make her calmer without being drugged. I highly recommend these.

It depends upon what you mean "work". Labs are natoriously childish until about age 5. It will not help with that. If your dog is anxious and/or nervous, then yes.

Mollie does not have this issue. She loves people and I have to work to keep her from jumping on others. The calming coat has been a big help with thunder storms and toe nail clipping. I noticed in one video I saw, this issue was addressed and it seemed to help that dog.

I believe that it would help your little morkie because she is probably anxious when she sees other dogs approaching and it may help her to feel like she is being held. I of course cannot guarantee she would be helped but she can wear it during thunderstorms or when she is left alone in the house and it will be a comfort to her. I think it helps them to self soothe, much like a pacifier does for a baby. :) Good luck

I suppose it would depend on the dog..my dogs just lay down .usually..and if usrd when its storming ..It has been hot here

I have a miniature poodle who was originally supposed to be a toy - I bought the smallest size for her, and there is enough adjustment in the straps that they still fit her. I bought them to take her to concerts (she is my service dog), and she does seem to appreciate them during the louder concerts. She isn't afraid of thunderstorms, so I can't comment on your second question.

I got the collar to calm my dog down during thunderstorms. I didn't notice any difference. My daughter said it worked wonderfully with her dogs. I don't know how it would work with dogs fighting. Maybe mimulus? Or a sedative to calm them down.

I think it would. It worked well for my dog. I would give her one and then her favorite meal. It should calm her down a bit. Safer than some of the drugs prescribed out there. You can trust it not to harm your dog.

Walmart in the pet section carries a product I think is called Pet-Eze. I gave it to my chihuahua who used to shake when she heard thunder (even off in the distance). They were small ills I put in a piece of cheese. Worked like a charm given a half hr or hr before you know a storm is coming or need relief for your pet. Great for 4th of July too when pets freak.

yes, I would recommend using this product, even though the bites are triangular in shape, they are soft and can be tore in two. I do this and give my dogs one and a half...give yours one of the two pieces

I bought the Thundershirt to help with car-sickness and calm her when people came over. It calmed her down enough that she would not vomit in the car but she still paced back and forth in the back of my Suburban. When she wore it in the house she was calmer and seemed almost afraid of us. It's strange how it changes their behavior. When it came to aggression, she wasn't generally aggressive but she and the neighbors dog would run along the fence constantly and the shirt did not change that. Don't know if that helps. If you don't want to spend the money, maybe try to find a used one to try out. Also...make sure you get the correct size.
