Zesty Paws Calming Bites Bacon 30ct - Cat (Pouch)

I bought these for my epileptic cat who hates car rides and stress cries the whole time she's in the car. We had to move and she was going to have to be locked up for a few hours while the movers got our stuff out of the house which we all know locking your cat in a room without you is a sin against cat-kind everywhere. I gave her one treat for the lock up time and one about 20 min before the car ride. I give it 5 stars because in the 13 years I've loved this cat she has never been so at ease for either of those situations. She made barely a ruckus being locked up in the bedroom and she didn't make a peep during the entire car ride which was just about 2 hours. I would recommend these highly! The cat in question below.

these work very well and quickly. great to help destress cats when things are different, hectic, even before medicine. we had an outside cat get lost a couple of miles from her home, she come to our door and ofcourse hungry. one of these and we were able to get her boxed and in the car giving her a ride home to her kittens. she was so thankful. we have a lynx point Siamese rescued from outside life at almost 1 year old. she's a little bit cautious and scaredy cat. these help her alot whenever she might be more anxious. tuxedo cat will eat hers too if not careful, she loves them. tuxedo cat is true to description that she does get an attitude occasionally and overly possessive/protective around new people or long visitors, these help with that as well.

My furbaby is spicy and when dogs are around my 29%23 cat goes crazy %26 has been biting and hurting people so I give him one of these and cut it in half. It keeps him stress free, keeps him calm and when he sees other dogs/cats he is now calm and relaxed. I only do these once maybe twice a month so its not everyday. It doesn't knock him out but chills him out. I do not let him eat them daily or give them to him as a treat just. These are not used for eating just a calming treat but not a daily treat. These also help my cat cause he doesn't like thunderstorms or bad weather so it helps calm him for that as well.

These work so well on my 10-12 lb cats that I can break them in half for about the same potency. One whole chew makes them quite sleepy for several hours. For a mild chill, I break the chews into a third. The third of a chew is what I use for my bigger cat, when I want him to stop picking on the other and just loaf about instead.

Long story short; these work! I bought these after taking my two year old cat to the vet for symptoms of FIC, the guess of the cause was stress from seeing a feral cat we had been feeding at our back door everyday. he's a pretty calm cat already, but I did notice he was able to see the cat with no reaction after giving him one of these treats. he will not eat them on their own (which is to be expected with a treat like this), so I did like other reviews said and cut it up and mixed it onto wet food. Sometimes he is able to avoid the bits if they are big enough, so I i make sure to chop it up very fine and dilute it with enough wet food. I've only ever given him one treat at a time, which is half the dose for his weight, so I'm impressed! if you are looking for a product like this I would definitely give it a try!

I don't believe there was a problem with the product. It's that one out of four cats ate it so I will just mix it in their food and see how it works as they got older they don't care for treats as much as they do their food

The biggest positive is that the cat eats them. Other than that, they're very expensive. For the amount recommended per kitty? I have two cats. One of them is rather large, so his intake is more. No I won't be buying these again. If you're on a budget, these aren't for your kitty. There's way less expensive alternatives.

The product itself is probably great, but Zesty paws really needs to change their packaging, i mean't to get the gut health treats. i searched hairball treats on the app and since i have bought the gut health treats multiple time so you would think it would show me that one first right? wrong! for some reason they showed me the behavior treats first even though i specified i wanted the gut health treats, but nope they show me treats that aren't related to my search and i have never bought the behavior treats until now by accident. the behavior treats and gut health treats bags look pretty much exatcly the same. they are both orange bags but the only difference is the color of the bubble. on the behavior treats the bubble is teal and the gut health the bubble is green. The employees can't tell the difference either, on a seperate trip the Behavior treats were put in the spot where the gut health treats are supposed to be and there were 4 gut health treats behind them and i can't imagine being yellow-blue colorblind trying to figure out which one is which at a glance because with yellow-blue colorblindness they look EXACTLY the same! yellow-blue colorblindness is nothing new and the fact that the only difference is a tiny bubble on the bag is a bit ridiculous. i don't even know what to do with these treats now because my cat needs the gut health treats, she doesn't need the behavior treats because there are no issues with my cat's behavior. i'm going to have to contact zesty paws about this packaging design issue and include a picture showing how they look to someone who is yellow-blue colorblind. Now that i have purchased this once, walmart is going to think i want this again when the purchase was a mistake. I included photos to show what i am talking about

Every one of cats would not eat them. I even tried mixing it with their other treats. I understand why, they stink like vitamins. I would not recommend them and don't waste your money trying them.

I have 5 cats , 2 are new to the bunch one of which is skittish and scared but after patience and a calming collar he came around however the baby of the bunch thinks he's 20 feet tall and started bullying which in turn got this one “ spraying “ yes he is neutered. The kids are separated now bought these trying them for multiple reasons . 4 out of the 4 I tried won't touch it . Gave one to the dog to see how bad it was , nope he spit that thing out. It's a very very strong herbal odor - don't bother unless you hide it in something else
