When you can't get your pet to sit through yoga classes or meditation sessions, Composure Bite-Sized Chews can help. Composure Bite-Sized Chews are veterinarian-approved and used to help calm pets that are prone to anxiety, nervousness, hyperactivity or those that tend to act out when in a stressful environment. Your pets will love the chicken liver flavor, and even those with sensitive teeth should be able to handle the soft, fish-shaped chews (for cats) or bone-shaped chews (for dogs). You can give your pet 1 chew a day for ongoing support, or you can keep them on hand and give one only as needed during stressful times. Think of Composure Bite-Sized Chews as a triple cocktail of stress management and relaxation.
For: Cats and Dogs
Benefits:
•
Helps alleviate anxiety, hyperactivity, and stress-related behavior problems without affecting your pet's personality or activity level (in other words, your cat or dog won't be "zoned out")
•
Contains 3 active ingredients that work together to help calm and relax your pet and reduce the effects of stress, including L-Theanine, which is also found in green tea
•
Helps the body produce Dopamine, which can elevate your pet's mood naturally
•
During times of stress, it is safe to double or triple the dose as needed
•
The chews come in a convenient resealable pouch for easy storage
How it works:
The combination of the three active ingredients in Composure Bite-Sized Chews work together to help alleviate stress-related behavior problems. C3 (Colostrum Calming Complex) is created from colostrum proteins, which have been found to support cognitive functioning and stress reduction. Colostrum Calming Complex in the chews works in tandem with L-Theanine to promote relaxation and cognition in cats and dogs. And thiamine is added to the formula to help manage stress and reduce irritability. They are recommended for cats and dogs that may have separation anxiety, that run for cover every time you have company, or become moody after being introduced to a new family member and dogs that urinate in the house or cats that urinate outside of the litter box when you go on vacation, or leave you special "gifts" if you interrupt his or her routine. It also can also work for cats and dogs that become anxious or agitated when they go on car rides.
Cautions:
The chews are so tasty, your pet might mistake them for treats and try to eat the whole bag. To avoid accidental overdose, keep the chews out of reach of your pet. In case of overdose, contact your veterinarian immediately. Some cats may experience an adverse reactions to the chews, such as increased hyperactivity. If this should happen, you should discontinue use.
If your pet's condition or behavior worsens or does not improve after giving Composure Bite-Sized Chews, discontinue use and consult with your veterinarian. Safe use in pregnant cats or dogs intended for breeding has not been proven. Keep out of reach of children.

seems to be working
Our male neutered Siamese was still showing aggressive mating behaviors to our spayed female Siamese. He is almost twice her size and it was to the point we were considering putting him down. As an almost-last resort, our vet suggested this product. We are not entirely sure this has been the solution to the problem, but since we started, Joe has stopped biting on the neck and mounting poor little Java.

This has helped my cat so much
These chews seem to be a life saver (literally) for my cat. He has cystitis from anxiety and his small urethra would get plugged up with mucus resulting in having to have a catheter put in on a few occasions. He was put on amitriptyline but it changed his personality so much. All he did was sleep and he wouldn't play anymore. He just wasn't the same loving, sweet, fun cat anymore and he seemed miserable. Now we use the comfort zone diffuser, these chews and cosequin and gradually took him completely off the amitriptyline. He's back to his old self and is still able to urinate without any problems so far (he's been off the amitriptyline completely for almost a month now). This is definitely worth trying if your cat has cystitis and you are looking for a homeopathic way to deal with it. I give him one chew twice a day and he loves the flavor. He gets one cosequin tablet sprinkled on his food twice a day also. He weighs about 11 pounds. I hope this can help other cat owners who have cystitis. It's worth a try anyway.

"New" Dog!
My 13 year old shi tzu has been fearful most of her life. Loud noises, other dogs, strange people provoked an immediate cowering stance. Wish I had found this a long time ago. She is a "new" dog and sometimes exercises her new found self confidence on my 6 month old pit puppy! Fearful to fearsome!!

Mostly works great
I have seven cats. The boys have all been fixed, but getting the two girls fixed costs more money than we have laying around right now. One month, right before they decided to go into heat together, I had purchased a pouch of these bite-sized chews on a whim. I gave Gizmo and Akira a couple before bedding them down for the night and lo and behold!! It was a relatively peaceful night. Not nearly so much yowling as during the day. So, I tried it during the day. Not as much luck, but at least the girls were less stressed about it.

Composure Effectiveness
My dog is a 13 year old Labrador female (spayed). She used to urinate on my chair and rip up my carpets when I went out for any period of time. Since using this product she has completely stopped doing anything wrong. I am a true believer. This product really works and I highly recommend it for your dog.

To be honest with you......that would be a hit or miss, It does seem to relax some dogs and make them less aggressive or less anxious........but there are times it is not strong enough...and another treatment may have to be considered.
