Overview
["Native Pet's Advanced Calming Chews are air-dried and built around a five-ingredient stack: hydrolyzed casein, a source of alpha-casozepine, along with L-tryptophan, L-theanine, valerian root, and melatonin. It's labeled for dogs of all breed sizes and marketed for anxiety, stress relief, separation, travel, and sleep support.", "This broader ingredient stack sets it apart from single-ingredient melatonin or valerian chews, and it's ranked the #5 best seller in the Dog Relaxants category and #455 across all of Pet Supplies, both signs of a well-established, widely purchased product.", "At $24.99 for a 30 chew pack, it's priced toward the premium end for the pack size, but the sizable review base backs that up: about 4,000 reviews averaging 4.1 stars and roughly 1,000 bought in the past month, making it one of the most purchased chews in this entire group."]

Performance notes
Layering hydrolyzed casein, a source of alpha-casozepine, with L-tryptophan, L-theanine, valerian root, and melatonin gives this formula several different calming mechanisms in one chew, rather than relying on a single active ingredient. The air-dried format is a different processing method than the soft-chew treats common elsewhere in this category, which may affect texture and shelf stability.
What buyers say
With around 4,000 reviews averaging 4.1 stars and roughly 1,000 units bought last month, plus a #5 ranking in Dog Relaxants, this is one of the most established and heavily purchased products in this group, even though its star average is a bit more middle of the road than some smaller-sample competitors.
Native Pet lists hydrolyzed casein, a source of alpha-casozepine, along with L-tryptophan, L-theanine, valerian root, and melatonin as the active ingredients in this chew.
How does it rank against other calming chews?

Is this a treatment for a diagnosed anxiety disorder?
No, this is a calming supplement, not a substitute for veterinary care. If your dog has a diagnosed anxiety disorder or severe symptoms, talk to your vet about a complete treatment plan.
