NaturVet –Quiet Moments Calming Aid for Cats Plus Melatonin – 60 Soft Chews – Helps Reduce Stress & Promote Relaxation – Great for Storms, Fireworks, Travel & Grooming

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.)

Sometimes when I have to have my cat in the car with me such as for vet appointments, she is normally horrible. Car sick and anxiety. She cries, throws up, literally all of the above. You name it, she’s done it. I figured I would try these. This time she had to go to my parents as I was going onto vacation so they would watch her for a week. She loved eating them, she is 13 pounds and I gave her 2. I gave the 2 treats to her about 30 before we had to leave. They worked only the first time and that’s being said lightly. Very lightly. They had to her stay clam(er) on the way there, with occasional crying which is fine, so much better than how she normally is. The day that I went to grab her to bring her home however…she was a nightmare. She refused to take the treats. I tried so hard. She wouldn’t take them. I tried to mix them with her food, she refused. But we had to leave. She did all of the above, car sick, the anxiety, the throwing up. So yes they kinda work… to an extent.. only for the first time.. again being said very lightly, but if your cat is picking with treats and gets bored quickly with types of treats then I wouldn’t recommend as they could/might change their mind on them when you give them again later at some point in life. She liked them the first time, and then the second time hated them and turned her nose up. However. If she enjoyed them the second time like she did with the first time then I would say yes get them, because she was mostly fine the first time, occasionally crying but not as bad as normally. But since she is picky with treats, I think she got bored of them the second time and was like uh no absolutely no way mom ew. So, depends on your cat and how your cat is with treats. 8/10

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.

The problem: Charlie starts acting up like clockwork everyday around 7pm in the living room. Meowing at the ceiling and tv, knocking things over, chewing on this and that, obsessively pawing at the touchscreen monitor on the tv. We have tried playing with him before or during this time to wear him out, but he just wants more or more...or starts acting up an hour or two later. The good news: the active ingredients in this do a decent job of calming Charlie down. 15-30 minutes after eating, he's snoozing happily while we enjoy our own chill time. The bad news: As a palatable, desired treat, this was a total failure. He WANTED to like it. After all, he loves greenies and will forage for them. (A fun activity to keep him busy.) But, he took a bite of this and left the pieces on the ground. The next day, just a sniff and he didn't even bother with a bite. A solution: I CAN pound this into a powder, mix it with a rough tsp of fresh raw chopped liver/juice and mix that with some Friskies pate. One rough tablespoon of liver tasting treat, he's all in with that. The other two cats get the pate and liver mix at the same time...I have to give them a bit more to keep them busy while Charlie finishes his whole amount. The small highly palatable treat means he'll get all the sleepy stuff and I don't have to stand guard over the 3 cats for TOO long. (I have to make sure he gets all of his before the other cats wander towards his serving.) The problem with this solution is it's a new job for me right when I'm tired after a long day. And, it makes more dirty dishes, more stuff to buy (liver), etc. Who needs another daily "must do"? After a week of success, I've streamlined it. I whizzed up all the treats into a powder and am prepared to mix about 1/2 t of the powder into his pate/liver treat. I have read that one can over do liver with cats, so I'm reserving the small amount just for treat time. It's easy to whiz up the liver, too, and divide it out for a few days at a time and freeze the rest in small containers...so always fresh to mix in. I will also start putting less liver in, hopefully, he'll just get used to the taste of the mixture in his pate. (I tried it first, he didn't like it without the liver.) I'm happy to have this work for right now. It is affordable enough. However, I'll also look for another calming technique/treat that doesn't mean a new daily "job" 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 😖

I have 3 cats now and I certainly never planned on having anymore than TWO, but mother nature dropped in our laps on an outside wood pile a tiny frail feral kitten screaming for food and help,..here we go again,..LOL! Our two olders were NOT having a thing to do with this new GUY,..but I had gave these to my cats off and on for anxious moments and my one cat has to have her nails clipped which is a huge drama scene and she gets two of those smashed up in her wet food shortly before the master nail surgery takes place,..LOL! I can honestly say the chews work great for my cats ALL three of them now and we often relegate to having all three have them in the evenings for calming peaceful sessions. No ill side effects and they eat the food with these smashed up in that without any difficulties. From my experience these are great for my cats~!

This supplement comes in the form of soft chews, which are easy to administer and incorporate into my cat's daily routine. However, my cat seems to have discerning taste buds and isn't particularly fond of the flavor. To overcome this, I've found that crushing the soft chews and mixing them into her wet food is a convenient workaround. Though it adds an extra step to the process, the results are well worth it. What truly sets this supplement apart is its effectiveness in calming my cat during periods of heightened stress, such as when she's in heat. Since incorporating it into her diet, I've noticed a significant reduction in her vocalizations and restlessness, allowing both her and I to enjoy much-needed moments of tranquility. Moreover, I appreciate that NaturVet Quiet Moments Calming Aid is formulated with natural ingredients, including chamomile, passion flower, and ginger. This reassures me that I'm providing my cat with a safe and gentle solution to help manage her anxiety and promote relaxation. NaturVet Quiet Moments Calming Aid Cat Supplement has been a lifesaver for both me and my feline companion. While she may not be a fan of the taste, the peace and quiet it brings to our home during stressful times make it a worthwhile investment. If you're looking for a solution to calm your cat's nerves, I highly recommend giving this supplement a try—just be prepared to get a little creative with how you administer it!
