Do calming treats for dogs work? A vet's opinion

Bulldog chewing on a calming treat.

Stress and anxiety are often the cause of unwanted behavior in our furry friends, but do calming dog treats actually work?

Calming dog treats are designed to help your pooch calm down, letting them focus on their delicious snack, and distracting them from whatever is upsetting or unsettling them. The good news is that yes, they do really work. Much like the best long-lasting dog chews, calming dog treats are designed to last for a while, giving your canine something to focus on. This helps keep their thoughts away from whatever it is that is upsetting them for longer than you’d manage with just the best dog treats.
