NaturVet Quiet Moments Calming Aid Cat Supplement Plus Melatonin – Helps Reduce Stress in Cats – for Pet Storm Anxiety, Motion Sickness, Grooming, Separation, Travel – 50 Ct. Soft Chews

Was reluctant to try these as some reviews were negative regarding these treats. I have a very high strung young male cat who’s a year old. And he wants to play all night and just goes into overdrive. He didn’t eat the treats out right. So I crushed them and mixed with a little of his favorite Lickable Treat and he ate it down then. I crushed 3 of the treats as he’s a very large young male and surprisingly I was able to finally sleep through the night without him pouncing on me to play at 3am or 4am.. he slept well thru the night and was even pretty calm after waking in the morning. Have used it a couple times since I got the treats (less than a week ago) and I’m definitely sold on these. They worked wonders with my cat. He never got sick with them nor any side effect to speak of, but I will definitely be keeping these on hand for those wild crazy days he is just too hyper. I would suggest trying these and if it’s a larger sized cat 3-4 treats work perfectly, a smaller cat I can see giving two to three treats to work. But I highly suggest using these if you have that hyper cat and I have even used a couple during day to take the edge off of him and he is much calmer and affectionate doing that way for daytime use. But you can’t go wrong with these!! There the best!!! Try them you won’t be sorry!!!

My cat would not eat this no matter how it was served to him even mashed up and rolled in tinned fish which he loves. When it was in his food or other treats he'd refuse to eat the whole thing out-right. (For references he eats a mix of dry and wet food Nulu and Hills science diet, he likes Temptations and Greenies treats and eats all without problem, he's 4 years old.)

Theyre ok. Probably work fine, but multiple cats hated the taste. I've got one that will eat *anything* but she refused any after the first. I think we ended up letting the dog have the other 98% of the bag eventually.

Great for Most Cats: My cats fly across the USA every few months either with me or in cargo. I give them 2 of these threats a half hour before we leave the hours, and another 2 midway through the flight or right before checking-in at the plane cargo location. It is non-sedating, but you should test it BEFORE traveling to see how your cat reacts. I get Quiet Moments WITH Melatonin for the cat that is the more 'stressed out' (the product featured here) and the Quiet Moments WITHOUT Melatonin for our kitty who is more relaxed and confident. Melatonin makes the cat a bit more sleepy (same for humans), so if you want the cat to interact or be outgoing and friendly, then it is better to just get the Quiet Moments WITHOUT Melatonin. E.g. if you are going to a cat show, or to the veterinarian. Both products work well to relieve stress in cats who are traveling, going to a new house, meeting a new cat, going to the veterinarian, meeting guests at a party, etc. If you need an everyday solution, you should see a highly qualified veterinarian and/or cat behavioralist who specializes in treating anxious cats or cats with mental illness. It is well worth the money. For Mentally Ill Cats (yes, this is an actual thing!) : My cousin has a cat who is actually suffering from a mental illness and is like the cats from the TV Show "My Cat From Hell" (she was abused as a kitten, then rescued by my cousin, and now lives in fear of all people and other cats and attacks people randomly). My cousin tried these products on her cat and they did NOT work. The cat needed actual psychiatric medications. Point being, some cats need to take mood stabilizers that are proscribed from the veterinarian and/or should be seen by a professional cat behavioralist who can recommend strategies to socialize them and keep them emotionally safe without medication. This product is really ONLY to relieve stress of a healthy cat, and will not cure mental illness in cats.

So I got this because I have an older (unfixed) Tom cat who seems to have anxiety when its time to go to sleep at night. Didn't have it when he was little, but is struggling now. So a friend suggested finding a hemp based treat to help him settle. At first he wouldn't go near it, hated the smell. Since he's a regular garbage disposal with most food I was surprised. I broke up the soft chew into his wet food later that night and he was okay with it. Pretty much made him calm and very, very, very, lovey to the other animals in the house. Went around purring and cleaning all the other cats like he was a hippy in love with the world. Notice he slept better and thought I'd found a solution. Now when he needs them we break them in half (the other cats couldn't handle his switch from cranky old man to loving hippy) and still hide them in his food. I'm only taking away one star because of the smell that is unappealing.

I have read some bad reviews about this on here, and wanted to give my input. On its own, my cat won't down the treat. She licks it, but something about the size or texture just turns her off. However, of the various brands I've tried for calming treats, if I crumble this into her food, she is consistently chill throughout the day (instead of in spurts, as I've found with 2 other treats that look like crunchy-outside-soft-inside Pet Tempatations treats). I love the ingredients in these. They don't have a strong smell to them, they also don't upset her stomach (because of the ingredients. Ginger - brilliant). I would give this a 5-star review, but I have a suggestion for the company: please make this as a scoopable powder/crumble (not the scoopable things you already have) so that I don't need to pre-crumble them with my fingers every time. And put a small scoop in with the powder and advise portions and max amounts via how many scoops. I'm going to try the Pera powder next to see how well that works, but this one is 100% budget friendly and doable for me.

My cats love them, but that's where the benefits end. They don't work at all, neither of my cats were any calmer after they ate them, even when I increased the dose. Also, they smell awful 😖

These were a waste of money. None of my 3 cats will eat them. They are much too large, have an unpleasant texture, not crunchy like a cat treat, and smell disgusting, not the kind of smell that is appealing to cats. I finally tricked 2 of my cats into taking them by breaking them up and mixing with food and they didn't have any calming effect on either cat. They didn't work. Not worth the money.
