This combination brings relaxation and nervous-system support together in an alcohol-free tonic with specific advance timing and measured amounts for dogs and cats.

Calmed down my aggressive cat

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.

Great for travelling with dogs

I show dogs as a hobby and frequently travel with two or more dogs. Since I am not a jerk who thinks everyone should be thrilled to have my dogs around, I try my hardest to be considerate of my fellow travelers. Some of my dogs will bark to alert me if they hear unfamiliar sounds or people walking outside, which is obviously not ideal in a hotel or airport. Others can get stressed in new or noisy environments, which basically describes all dog shows. A friend gave me this to try, and I am now on my fourth bottle.One squirt keeps my dogs calm and relaxed for roughly four hours. They seem to like the taste! They do not get sleepy, but they also do not feel the need to bark unless absolutely necessary for preservation of life. They can still compete in dog shows and are alert and focused. They are just very chill about things that would ordinarily cause them to react.I also board toy breed dogs in my home. One of my boarders is a chronic barker. Her owners and I have tried literally everything to modify her barking, including extensive training and behavioural interventions. To date, nothing has truly worked for her EXCEPT THIS. I took her to a dog show out of state with me, and the only time she barked was when it started wearing off! Otherwise she was wonderfully well behaved and actually seemed much happier, probably because she was feeling less stressed and anxious.Fair warning: some of my friends who tried it had dogs that did get sleepy and definitely seemed “stoned” or dopey on it. So although it has worked well for many of my dogs, it might not be for everyone.

Best Stress Buster For Dogs!

I love this formula! I've used it to calm my dogs during fireworks, during long car rides, and after vet visits. I keep multiple bottles in the house and one in the car so I never have to go searching for it in times of need.

Great Product

I have used this for approximately 1 1/2 months and have seen a significant relaxation in my very very nervous dog who gets overwhelmed easily. This has helped a lot!

Tranquility Blend

I’ve been using Tranquility Blend for a couple of years to help my dog with his fear of thunderstorms. It calms him enough for him to be comfortable. The fear doesn’t totally leave him, but the blend brings him some ease. He is a German shepherd.
