Richard’s Organics Pet Calm, 2 oz. Bottle with Dropper – Natural Cat and Dog Anxiety Relief – 100% Natural Pet Stress Relief – Drug-Free Calming Drops, Settles Nerves and Reduces Hyperactivity

This is very powerful! My 5 month kitten just got spayed and she is so hyper the vet prescribed her some gabapentin to keep her calm for at least the first few days so that her incision can heal properly. I felt like the gabapentin was working just so-so, she would still have some hyper bursts and it would wear off really quickly. I ordered this to use as an alternative after the first couple days instead of gabapentin so that she wouldn't have to be drugged up for too long. I followed the correct dosage from the bottle, even giving a little less than it called for based on her weight. About 30 to 40 minutes passed and then she was ZONKED out all night completely sleepy and lying on her back purring for hours straight. Pretty funny but also a bit shocking. In the future I will give her even less but it's nice to know the formula is effective.

I've been using the SynergyLabs Richard's Organics Pet Calm on my dogs (Shih Tzu's) for over a couple years. It was recommended by an employee at Petco to help with my dogs' anxiety with storms and fireworks. I started buying it off Amazon because it was a much better deal. The product I receive off Amazon seems the exact same (no issues with receiving a knock-off). My dogs will shake uncontrollably, pant, cry and run around whenever there is a thunderstorm or fireworks. The worst is at night when the keep you up shaking and barking. The Pet Calm helps my dogs calm down significantly. While it is not a cure-all, my dogs still get anxiety. This is all natural so it can only do so much. I feel better giving this to my dogs than a prescription medication that knocks them out or could have negative side effects. I haven't noticed any issues with negative side effects with this. It doesn't seem to leave them drowsy or out of it the next day. We haven't had any issues of this not being as effective over time. I found that paired with a Thundershirt it works better. The Thundershirt on it's own didn't do much for my dogs but paired with this, it helped a lot more. My dogs enjoy the taste of this. I just put their dose on a plate and they lick it off. If they are already very upset, they don't like to eat at all but I can still get them to take this with some coaxing. I can usually just put some on my finger and they'll like it off then finish the rest of the plate. I recommended this to my in-laws for their small dog who suffers from separation anxiety. She will destroy things in the home and doors when you leave her. They've also had success with it. Their dog doesn't like the taste much but will just swallow it when put directly in her mouth. I am very glad we found this product as it helps not only our dogs but us have a more tolerable time during storms. It also helps us get some sleep. Hopefully it will help with your pet as well.

Got this to help my cat calm down. When she meows it's a very broken up meow. She always sounds nervous. She also chases my dog because she hates him. Decided to get this to see how well it would work with her. She's only 8 lbs so one full dose is about 120% of a dose for a cat her size.It's sticky stuff. And the cat didn't take it very well but she doesn't take stuff very well. It's somewhat thicker almost like honey. She was interested to take more after the first dose. Kept sniffing it and trying to get more but I didn't give her anymore. I think if you could mix it in with the food, it would be easier for them to take it. She does close her mouth and shake her head when I give it to her so it will end up on the floor and on her fur. But she cleans up and the dog helps clean the floor. :-)After she takes it, it seems like it takes about 10 minutes to kick in. She will move more slowly, lie down somewhere and act like she's super tired. The first time I gave it to her she laid down on the couch and just stared at nothing really. My dog came over and sniffed her face, which she would not put up with usually and smack him. She just stayed there, stared at him and only put her ears back. Didn't growl or meow or smack him. Then the dog jumped up onto the couch and laid down right next to her. She would either hit him, growl or run away if he did that. She just stayed there and didn't really do much. It was a nice change for us and the dog. Although, it does knock her out and make her far less playful. It lasts anywhere from 2 hours up to 8 hours. Depends I guess on the amount of stressful situations that are around her. When there are house guests around, it won't last as long. If it's just us and the dog, it usually lasts a long time.Definitely a big help in calming the cat down. I did try it with our dog but did not achieve any success really. I only gave him 2/5's of a dose though. But it should have done something. He was as hyper and jumpy as ever. It could be because he is only 1 year 3 months old though. The cat is about 3 years old. I would recommend buying it just to try it and see what happens. There are a lot of doses in the bottle. One full squeeze of the dropper will give you one dose. The dropper is quite small so you don't use much for each dose.

I've been buying this product for the last several years, since I first took our pup on an airplane and thought it would be a good idea to give him a boost into soothing him during the flight. This seems to be a great help in calming our pup down when he's anxious; it generally takes effect about 30 to 60 minutes after giving him a dose. Each bottle has a three=year shelf life, however, the one I just received in the mail today expires 4/2027 so it's already 10 months into that three-year period.

The bottle was un screwed inside the packaging, and it smells really bad. Lost a lot of the product down the drain cleaning up the mess. It does seem to work for a short time. We’re giving it to our 6 month old kitten who hasn’t been neutered yet; he has been tormenting my older male cat. It does wear off after about an hour or so. We’ve been giving 50mg at night.
