"Bought for our rescue border collie with severe anxiety during traveling and storms. 3 of them and she sleeps peacefully"

β€” Carol

"Our puppy did not like the taste of these so we tried to disguise the taste with other flavors. He still would not chew them, so it was a waste of money for us."

Bottom Line

While effective for some dogs, KONG Calming Chews may not be reliable for all, due to taste issues and varied effectiveness. Consider vet recommendations or trying a different calming supplement.
