[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first began using this melatonin for my sweet dog who developed Cushing's. She had an autoimmune disorder and the steroids she received her entire life caused multiple negative side effects. The safest and most effective product I could use to reduce her Cushing's-related anxiety was this melatonin. Melatonin decreases the cortisol in the body, and this helped keep her comfortable in the last year of her life. I now have a 4 year-old terrier who exhibits considerable anxiety when left alone. He is also overreactive to visitors and outside noises. (This is not due to his having an anxious make up; it is solely due to limits in his activity and exposure to others. This is because of my own disability. ) I tried using the calming herbs for him, but western herbs affect blood clotting, and cause my dog to poop out lakes of blood even before he reaches the full dosage. Trazodone and some medications affect blood clotting in the same way. CBD oil has a lesser effect on blood clotting, and with daily use once per day did cause some bleeding in his stool. Melatonin has yet to show any negative side effects and I am able to use it effectively for my boy at least three days per week. It relaxes him enough that he does not react when he knows I'm preparing to leave him. He's also much less exuberant when visitors come, and he is so much easier to teach and control outside on leash. I'm hoping not to need melatonin very long-term, but it has been a great help in enabling my boy to focus on his obedience training, which he did not receive when he was a puppy. What I most appreciate about pet well-being form of melatonin is that it doesn't come in a treat that contains herbs or other products I would prefer not to give my dog. It seems to work faster and better than the treat-based melatonins and does not affect his sensitive tummy! I mix it in a very small amount of food or I drip the melatonin into a capsule and feed it immediately, wrapped in deli meat or cream cheese, etc. It starts working on him within 30 to 45 minutes. I have recommended this product to a couple of friends whose rescue dogs have continuous anxiety. They use it twice daily to keep their dogs content. Melatonin can be a wonderful training aid for an anxious pup! I'm very happy with this product and recommend it to any pet parent.

I give this to my dogs and they love this and help them a lot now they relax all night

My young adult dog was very emotionally balanced until about 18 months ago. At that time I had a heart attack and he developed something like PTSD! And that turned into separation anxiety. He also became a bit restless during the day, although he receives plenty of exercise and socializing. I started with the full dose of melatonin for his weight. I Gave him a full dose in the morning with his breakfast and a full dose in the evening with his dinner. He didn't mind the taste at all. I actually tasted it myself and it smells and tastes quite mild. (Actually better than my own melatonin pills.) By the second day my boy was no longer quietly whining in the early hours of the morning hoping to get me up. Within a week he was seeming like his old balanced self during the day at home. I like that melatonin has not changed his activity level or his personality. It doesn't seem to make him drowsy during the day, yet if I place him in his kennel to keep him safe when I clean or work on crafts, he's fine and takes a nap for an hour without complaining. He also has stopped following me everywhere in the house. That said, his panic and anxiety attacks still occur whenever I prepare to leave the home or walk out the door. I learned from my vet that these anxiety attacks produce extra cortisol in the body, and it takes 3 to 4 days for the Access cortisol to get back to normal. With my boy, He is left alone three or four times a week, and that meant his cortisol was staying too high. This causes symptoms of anxiety and this is why he developed ulcers. I tried calming care drops along with the melatonin, and I believe if I had been able to get him up to the full dose twice daily, it would have resolved his anxiety and panic attacks. I got up to half dose with the calming care and I could notice a really good difference within 10 days. But not enough. However I was unable to get him up to the full dose. I He really hates the taste of anything I've tried that contains Ashwagandha. How I wish I could find a way to get it into him without fighting him. That is an important herb in a blend for Chronic anxiety and it made all the difference in my last dog who had Anxiety due to Cushing's disease. I appreciate having had the opportunity to try calming care and I would strongly encourage anyone with a very anxious dog to try both melatonin and calming care together. Give it at least a few weeks because it does take time; it's so well worth giving it a chance! I will continue using the melatonin since it helps him quite a bit. I will continue my search for a blend of herbs that address anxiety, but perhaps without the ashwagandha. Thank you Pet well-being, for honoring your guarantee and for your continued support.
