An absolute life saver!
My Yorkie has extreme social anxiety. Taking her in public is a nightmare and even having people over to our apartment is a major ordeal. As soon as someone looks at her, she goes into a barking fit and cannot be calmed down. However, once she gets used to a new person, all she wants to do is cuddle and give them kisses. We adore her and want to be able to bring her with us places, but it's stressful for all of us.
I bought these on a Tuesday, gave them to her before her vet appointment, and the vet seemed extremely impressed with how much more laid back she was. I didn't know if it was just a fluke, so I tried them again before bringing her to the groomer that Thursday.
We've had bad experiences with grooming before (picking her up, she's shaking, the groomer is annoyed, etc) so I made sure to warn this new groomer of her anxiety and behavioral problems well before the appointment.
45 minutes into the grooming, the groomer called me to tell me that Piper had been extremely calm, loving, and docile the whole time. I was blown away.
I picked her up about 15 minutes later and took her to the counter to pay. There was a whole new swarm of people there, all looking at her. Normally, this triggers a fit. She was absolutely silent and didn't shake at all
I got in the car and almost started crying, I was so relieved. We've tried SO many things to help her anxiety and this is the only thing that has provided her with a sense of calm. I would recommend these to anyone!
I did not receive any sort of compensation for this review and the product was paid for with my own money.
