Calming Care, keeping my floors clean and our Sanity intact!
My senior greyhound, a retired service dog was communicating his distaste for certain situations by pooping on the floor inside. He would see another dog he didnt get to go say hello to and boom! There's what he thinks about that! There seemed to be no end to his poor communication style until I started giving him these packets! About a week and a half into him eating this over his food and I said, man Gears has been pretty good lately. We are almost an entire month in and there have been no incidents. I'd say accidents but they were definitely not accidental poops. Lol! Great product! If your dog is being weird in a bad way, and there is nothing medically wrong, it could just be that they have anxiety. Give this product at least 3 weeks to see if you notice a difference but in some cases you may notice a difference sooner! 100% worth it to keep my dog wanting to be on his best behavior!

It worked like magic for separation anxiety.
I've used this for my Weimaraner with separation anxiety noticed when I started crate training (she is 2yrs old, rescue). She would chew on the crate bars (leaving a pool of slobber on the floor) when I was gone a couple hours, and bark most the time (tried for weeks). I have 2 other dogs that are crate trained well, so she does have buddies who are showing her it's ok. I started giving her this product and left them uncrated when I would leave, of course then she would tear things up and eat them. About 6 weeks later I tried the crate again. It was like magic, a light bulb turned on in her brain. She started getting in the crate on command, no chewing on the bars, and not one bark (I check on them with a camera, sometimes gone for 5hrs!). I can only credit this product, doubt leaving her uncrated a few weeks would stop the anxiety. I'm going to try this product on one of my other dogs that has some mildly anxious behaviors to see if it will help. They seem to like the taste, a little added flavor to their food. I see no side effects.

More content less velcro dog, enjoys his own activities more vs constant velcro to us.
Works great daily or during possible.higher stress days ( like week of fireworks. We see overall calmer demeanor, less agitating, less neediness (like still in same room with us but enjoying toys and looking out windows vs more frequent attachment behavior. Seems more content.

Seems to help highly strung dog.
Used in dogs food along with Adaptil infuser. Seemed to help my hyper protective barker. Wish the cost was better.

Game changer
My four year old American Akita has been on this daily powder for a couple of months now. He struggles with anxiety and it’s been worse since we recently moved. The vet and a friend recommended this and it’s been a game changer. He went from pacing and trying to climb the walls and break out of windows to being calm and settled. We hardly see him anxious anymore. I just sprinkle a bit on his food every evening and he eats it no problem.

Didn't work for my dog, but glad it helps others'
I have a very high-strung Corgi, and after a month of using this product, it had no effect on his behavior. That doesn't make the product bad, just that it didn't work on my pooch. It's effectiveness likely depends on what's causing your dog's excitability. Reading other reviews, it seems to work well for many, but I'll have to keep looking.

Works but search other sites and compare price
This made a huge difference for my 2 dogs. Recommended by their Vet. Will continue to purchase from another site. Amazon did not have any to repurchase at a reasonable cost. Cost for second purchase was twice as much as Petco, Walmart, and Chewey. It's not cheap to begin with.

Works well but this is TOO HIGHLY PRICED, same as Probiotics Bifidobacterium Longum BB536
This probiotic works VERY WELL in perhaps most dogs. We are so much a product of what is colonizing our guts, human and beast alike! We don't even realize that what we eat AFFECTS WHAT WE THINK (this is an entire field of research and it is fascinating and well established!)This is a HIGHLY DESIRED PROBIOTIC, butPURINA IS CHARGING TOOOO MUCH FOR THIS PROBIOTIC ...(current pricing January 2024 is over a dollar a day! Available in January 2024 in other packaging for less than 25 cents per day!)...simply because of their name, the perceived exclusive access, and some broth flavoring.>>>Instead, search forProbiotics Bifidobacterium Longum BB536...Available here on Amazon, and save yourself a lot of money, and send a message to Purina that we consumers can research medical literature and figure out that Bifidobacterium Longum BB536 is the EXACT SAME probiotic!Some bacteria have been given a different name in the past to now, the same as plants can have more than one botanical name -- actually they have an older name and a corrected updated name.It is common for example in te plant trade for nurseries to not give up an old botanical name and yet current scientific literature has the new botanical name. So one must know both names to learn accurate information about such particular plants.That is what is happening here.Research it for yourself if you desire on Google Scholar and other published science search sites.It did take me a day of research to figure it out, but I had a hunch that since I could not find this name ANYWHERE --- WHY IS THAT??? -- that there was perhaps another name at play.Why would Purina be the ONLY access to a particular probiotic??!!! That answer is: THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ACCESS.And what else is happening here is that Purina has found a lifesaving control for anxious pets, and priced it obscenely high.Search for BB536 and save yourself a heap of money. Break open the capsules and sprinkle on pet's food.Watch their calmness levels increase.Highly recommend the probiotic. I do use other of Purina's products for quality at a decent price.Wake up Purina and stop gouging the public.
