Performance notes
Layering hemp, melatonin, and valerian root in one chew gives this formula a broader base than single-ingredient options, and the weight-tiered dosing, from one chew for dogs up to 20 pounds up to four chews for dogs over 61 pounds, suggests it's meant to scale with the dog rather than using a flat serving size. Giving it about 30 minutes before a known stressful event is the label's recommended approach.
What buyers say
With over 2,400 reviews, this is the most reviewed chew in this group, and a 3.9 star average across that many buyers suggests a mostly positive but more mixed reception than the newer, smaller-sample products here.
GOODGROWLIES recommends dosing by weight: one chew for dogs up to 20 pounds, two chews for 21 to 40 pounds, three chews for 41 to 60 pounds, and four chews for dogs over 61 pounds, given about 30 minutes before a stressful situation.
Is this suitable for puppies and senior dogs?
Yes, the label lists this as suitable for all life stages, from puppies to senior dogs, though you should always check with your vet before starting a new supplement with a very young or senior dog.
Why is the rating lower than some other calming chews?
With over 2,400 reviews, this product has a much larger sample size than most calming chews on the market, and a 3.9 star average across that volume still reflects a largely positive response even if it trails a few smaller-sample competitors.
