ParticipantDefinitely see the appeal of Trekker’s Calming dog treats, especially with their natural ingredients and formulary focus on keeping pups relaxed. My own furball, Chester, was a fan of ’em when he started showing signs of anxiety during thunderstorms. However, I found that they were a tad too large for my little Corgi. Also, the flavor didn’t quite hit the mark with Chester after awhile.
I switched over to Chill Paws Calming Treats instead: they’re smaller in size (great for little mouths) and have a broader range of flavors that keeps Chester interested. Plus, their formula is also very focused on keeping pets calm without causing drowsiness. Just remember, it’s always a good plan to check with your vet before introducing new things into your dog’s diet!
Anyone else tried these Chill Paw treats? How did your dogs respond to them?

ParticipantAbsolutely agree with you on the benefits of Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! I’ve been using them for a year now with my Boxer, Max, and it’s a huge improvement. The treats are the perfect size – not too small but not overly large, making them easy to carry around in your pocket during doggie outings. Plus, they’re fairly durable and don’t crumble easily which is always a bonus.
One thing that particularly makes me stand by these treats is their affordability. Considering the all-natural ingredients used, the price point is pretty reasonable compared to other brands on the market. Just remember they are a treat, so moderation is key.
If anyone’s planning to switch to Trekker’s calming treats, I recommend introducing them slowly into your dog’s diet as you would do with any new food items. Anyone else notice an improvement in their dog’s behavior when using these?

ParticipantAbsolutely with you there! Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats really are a godsend for any dog who tends to get a little too excited or anxious. My Golden Retriever has always been a bit of a high-strung pup, and I decided to give these treats a shot based on a friend’s recommendation. It wasn’t some magic tranquilizer, but it helps him feel less jumpy, and he loves the taste too!
One tip – it’s probably better to start with a smaller portion and work your way up to see how your dog adjusts. Their size makes them easy to break into smaller pieces for this purpose. Just remember that every dog is different, so what works for my Goldie may or may not work for your pet.
And, as always, if your dog’s behavior is causing you serious concerns, consult with a vet before trying any new treatments or remedies. It’s always best to be sure! I wonder if anyone else has tips for introducing these treats into their doggy diet?

ParticipantTotally with you there, folks! My energetic husky, Blizzard, used to be so hyperactive during family gatherings. I tried Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats based on a friend’s recommendation and to my surprise, they really worked wonders. The convenient size of these treats is just perfect for medium to large dogs like Blizzard.
I really appreciate their durability too; unlike other calming treats which can crumble easily, these stay intact in my pocket while we’re on the go. Plus, their price is kinder to the wallet compared to some other high-end options on the market.
Remember though, just like with any behavioral modification aid, it’s important not to over-rely on these treats alone for calming your dog – training and appropriate stimulation are key also. Has anyone found similar success with other natural calming treat brands? Or any additional tips for managing high-energy pups during social events? Let’s share!

ParticipantI couldn’t echo your sentiments more on the subject of Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! I myself have a very excitable, tail-wagging lab named Daisy. There were nights she’d be so full of energy that she’d keep the whole household up with her antics!
What worked surprisingly well for us was using these treats as a part of our nightly routine. We’d give Daisy one right before bed, and it would mellow her down significantly. They’re small enough to not interfere with her meals and also seem to last quite a while given their size, making them excellent value for money.
However, I am curious if anyone has tried integrating these treats into training routines? Any tips or ideas from fellow dog owners? Remember though, folks, if there are any drastic behavioural changes in your pets, it’s always best to consult your vet.

ParticipantCouldn’t agree with all of you more on Trekker’s Calming Dog treats! Our lab, Rusty used to get really anxious during car rides. We decided to try these treats and the change was amazing – he’s more relaxed now. They’re perfect in size too, not too big, so Rusty doesn’t have a problem chewing them. And I absolutely appreciate the fact they’re made from natural ingredients, puts my mind at ease about what I’m feeding him.
The only small downside is their slightly steep price, but honestly, it’s worth every penny considering the calm it brings to our otherwise chaotic trips. Always suggested to every fur-parent out there dealing with similar issues! Just remember that each dog is unique; what works for Rusty may not work for your pooch. So always keep an eye on how your dog reacts to new food or treats and don’t hesitate consulting with your vet if needed!

ParticipantNot long ago, my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Toffee, would become overexcited whenever we had company. I tried Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats after reading good reviews about it on an online pet community forum. Unfortunately, I can’t exactly echo the same level of success others have enjoyed.
Toffee is a pretty big dog and she tends to need more than the suggested serving size for any type of treats – so maybe size and breed factor into how effective these treats can be. Don’t get me wrong, there was a noticeable difference in her behavior but not as much as I’d hoped for. Now my question: Has anyone with larger breed dogs found a successful dosage? Or am I better off seeking an alternative option? (of course without forgetting that what works for one might not necessarily work for another!) And always bearing in mind to consult our vet before making any dietary adjustments! Any leads here would be appreciated!

ParticipantAbsolutely spot-on about Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! I’ve seen a significant change in my old Beagle, Daisy’s, demeanor ever since making the switch. She used to be quite the troublemaker whenever we’d have visitors or during thunderstorms, but these treats have really helped make things a lot more peaceful around here. They’re bite-sized and soft, which Daisy seems to love. Plus, they seem really durable, as they keep thier form even if they get dropped (not that Daisy often misses!). A tad pricier than some other treats we’ve tried but totally worth every penny considering how much they’ve helped. Annd just a lil note for anyone thinking of trying these treats out on an older dog–give them a bit of time for your dog to adjust, our Daisy took about a week to show improvements. So thrilled with the results that I’m sticking with this brand from now on! Anyone else found that it takes a bit of time for the treats to start working or was it just Daisy?

ParticipantI gotta chime in here about Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats. Ever since introducing them to our high-spirited Boxer, Bruno, we’ve observed quieter evenings and an overall more relaxed pooch. One thing worth mentioning is the size of these treats: they’re perfect for a bigger dog like Bruno, but I can see how smaller breeds might struggle a bit with them. So sizing could definitely be a consideration. But regarding effectiveness and value-for-money, Trekker’s hits it out of the park!

ParticipantCouldn’t agree more with everything that’s been said about Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats. In my house, they’ve become a game-changer for our high-energy German Shorthaired Pointer, Trixie. Previously she would be bouncing off the walls at every single noise – from the mailman’s knock on the door to a car passing by. Cue in Trekker’s and we’ve a whole new story now!
I love that these treats aren’t just effective, but they’re also made using natural ingredients which is a big plus when it comes to the health and well-being of my furry friend next to me. Pricing is reasonable too considering the quality, and a pack lasts a notable amount of time given their size too.
Incorporating these into our daily routine was pretty seamless. I started giving Trixie one of these treats before anticipated stress situations (guests coming over, loud storms etc.) and soon noticed her being much calmer, less receptive to all the stimuli around.
Just keep in mind everyone’s pup is different and while they worked for Trixie, might not be the same case for your doggo. If you notice unpredictable reactions or if your dog’s anxiety still persists, definitely consult your vet. Cheers!

ParticipantI’ve got to echo the praise for Trekker’s Calming dog treats here. Introduced ’em to my high-energy Jack Russel, and srsly, the change was like night and day. For those looking to try them out but aren’t sure about sizing, they break apart pretty easily so you can adjust to your doggo’s size. Plus, they’re rather durable and don’t crumble like some other brands we’ve tried. Best part? Good value for the price as well. Remember though, every pup is unique, so what works wonders for some might not give the same results for others. Always a good idea to start slow with any new treat or food!

ParticipantOh boy, here I thought I was the lone fan of Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats in this wild dog-owning world! I’ve been using them for my feisty wee Jack Russell, and whoa buddy, they’ve been a game changer! Before Trekkers’ treats, walking Max felt like trying to tame a wild-born hyena. Now he’s more of a domesticated badger – still got that spirited edge but much easier to manage.
These treats are spot on size-wise for smaller breeds like mine. There’s no question about durability either – could probably build a mini dog-fort with these babies (kidding!).
And folks, don’t get me started on the price. For all they offer, these treats should be marketed as gold nuggets (that thankfully don’t cost an arm and a leg).
But hey, just outta curiosity, anyone else have tricks on how they use ’em? Like during training or particular times of day? My Max seems to respond best during our evening walks post-dinner.

ParticipantWhile I won’t dispute the praise for Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats, I’ve found ‘Unleashed Calm’ treats work a tad better for my furball. Guess it depends on your dog and how they react to different formulations, huh? After all, these aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions. Plus, side note for budget-conscious pals out here, Unleashed’s price per treat tends to be a smidge lower. And hey, we all love a good deal, don’t we? Anyone else tried other calming dog treats that are worth considering?

ParticipantOh, absolutely count me in the Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats’ fan club! I’ve got two extremely energetic Border Collies at home annd people offen joke that they’re powered by rocket fuel. But once I introduced them to these gems, wowzers! Their energy levels became more manageable and bonus – they love the taste of ’em! Initially, I was a little wary about the size being too big for ’em to chew but they surprised me. Can anyone suggest how often I should be giving them these treats? Just keen on keeping the balance right. As always, better to consult a vet if you have any major dietary concerns for your doggo.

ParticipantWow, I’m excited to see so many fans of Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! My golden retriever Luna took instantly to these treats. Their size fits perfectly for a medium-sized dog like her annd she seems to love the taste. We’ve been using them during her agility training sessions and it’s made a noticeable difference in her performance.
A lot of you mentioned something that I noticed as well – they’re realy durable, especially compared to other calming treats. Luna’s quite the chewer and these treats keep her busy for longer periods.
Also, they’re so much more affordable than some overpriced brands without compromising quality. Honestly, for anyone still on the fence about trying Trekker’s, just give it a shot! Can’t go wrong with healthier ingredients and a happy pooch!
Does anyone else train their dogs while giving these treats? A curious strategy but it worked wonders for me.
