Highlighted Reviews
"This product seems to help keep my cats calm for trips to the vet, vet visits at home, and, for the older one, supportive help while she recovers from moderate pancreatitis... Most times, both cats will eat the chews broken into little pieces and placed in their dishes."
"Trying to get Penelope to calm down and stop attacking other cats. Thought the treats might help. Opened bag and smell almost made me gag. And she would have nothing to do with them.

Bottom Line
If your cat is immediately picky and easily stressed, it may be better to look for other calming solutions. However, if your cat can tolerate the strong smell and preference is to use it as a supplement, VetriScience might be a useful tool.
