"When we brought our rescue home almost a month ago, he was severely underweight and lethargic, on top of trying to figure out who the heck we were and what he was doing with us.

"I have large dogs, and these "large" treats require 3-4 treats every few hours to have any effect. When there's 10 treats per bag, that's pretty pointless. If there was a bigger bag or bigger treats, maybe, but they're pretty expensive for what you need."

Bottom Line

If you have a smaller anxious dog, these treats might help. However, for larger dogs, the small size and high cost make it less of a viable option. Consider the size of your dog and the potential need for multiple treats before purchasing.
