These treats may be able to help your dog calm down, especially in stressful or anxious situations. However, remember that they are not a substitute for professional veterinary advice if your dog is displaying serious behavioural problems or anxiety. It is always advisable to consult a veterinarian or dog trainer to discuss the best approaches to calming and training your dog.
