Benefits

• Chamomile and Thiamine Calming Blend: Chamomile Powder and Thiamine Mononitrate work together to produce a calming effect on your dog's nerves, helping support balanced behavior.
• L-Tryptophan Mood Support: L-Tryptophan supports normal serotonin production in the brain, helping your dog maintain a relaxed and even-tempered disposition.
• Theanine for Focused Calm: Theanine, an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, helps promote a calm, focused state without inducing excessive drowsiness.
• Lavender Extract Soothing Aroma: Lavender Extract contributes a naturally soothing aromatic quality to the formula, complementing the other calming ingredients.
• Cold-Formed for Ingredient Integrity: Every soft chew is cold-formed rather than cooked, helping preserve the integrity and potency of each active ingredient.
• Flavorful Hickory Smoke Taste: The delicious hickory smoke flavor makes administration easy, even for dogs that are typically selective about treats or supplements.
