Review of Zesty Paws Calming Bites™ for Cats.

I have 3 cats now and each of them have their own purrsonality. They all tolerate each other, to a point & now that I have been working from home it has been increasingly more difficult to keep them in check while working.  Mostly because of what I just said, that they tolerate each other, but don't always get along.

        

To the left is Maka'Alohi, AKA 'Alohi or Mini. She is approximately 11 years old & probably the most neurotic & amxious.  She's a loner but loves when we give her head scritches, and can be very affectionate when she wants to be by giving head rubs & little licks.  She'd had a lot going on with a recent surgery that she has finally recovered from, but she has never really got along with the other cats.  She will hiss, spit, growl, and swat at them if they get too close.

Aspara-Gus is in the center. We usually just call him Gus & he is our only boy.  We're not really sure how old he is, possibly around 8-10.  He is the happiest of creatures & my lap buddy.  He's quite the oddball as well & I call him my puppy because he loves pats & belly rubs.  He can get a bit aggressive with 'Alohi at times & those are usually the 2 I have to break up tussles with.

Nacho, AKA Nugget, is on the right.  She is our baby & the newest member of our family.  Just a little over 1 year old she still wants to play with everything and is the most curious.  She knows to steer clear of 'Alohi but gets a bit crazy with Gus at times.  Those 2 chase each other around & she will jump on him & sometimes he cares, sometimes not.

Now that I have been working from home & on the phone the majority of my day, I need them to calm down!  'Alohi will come to my side when I am trying to talk on the phone & LOUDLY meow at me.  She'll start growling & hissing at Gus or Nacho if they are too close.  I know they are never going to be the best of friends but I needed something to keep them calm and relaxed during the day.  So when I had the opportunity to try Calming Bites™ for Cats by Zesty Paws I knew I had to!

These yummy chewables are perfect for those moments when your fur baby may be a little off their paws.  Whether it’s a thunderstorm, fireworks, or when you have company over, our Calming Bites™ are sure to help your feline keep calm.  Designed to promote calmness and composure, the Zesty Paws All Ages Calming Bites Salmon Flavored Cat Supplement is a must have for any scaredy-kitty.  These bites feature premium ingredients to naturally help keep your furbaby calm, cool and collected.  An omega-3 fatty acid supports brain health.  A combination of L-tryptophan and chamomile extract helps to support your tense, stressed, restless or hyperactive kitty.  These chews also include melatonin, which supports your stressed and tense kitty, promoting normal, relaxed behavior.  These tasty chews are su-paw easy to feed and are free of bad stuff like corn, wheat, artificial flavoring or preservatives.

• How To Use:  Give up to 2 chews per day. Begin with half the suggested serving, and gradually increase to the suggested daily amount. Amounts can be split between AM and PM.

• What I Thought:  I was skeptical at 1st & 'Alohi was the one cat I was really hoping this would help!  When I opened the package they all immediately came running in to inspect what smelled so good.  I started with 1/2 a bite per cat twice a day for a few days, & then went to one bite per cat twice a day after.  Nacho & Gus loved them & gobbled them up, but 'Alohi was skeptical herslef of this new "treat."  For her I crumbled it onto her food & she would eat it up, but this morning she ate a full bite on its own. (Yay!)  These bites are not going to knock your cats out or make them like each other, but they really do have a calming effect to them as I have noticed less aggressiveness and anxiety in them while I've been home.  The package is a bit hard to read with the white writing on the yellow & with it being so small.  The fact that it contains melatonin & suntheanine (L-Theanine) is something I am familiar with as I take these supplements myself to help with my own anxiety and stress and know they work for me w/out side effects!  The ingredients are simple and free of artificial junk too so I'm happy to be giving my cats something they think of as a treat, that will be good for them, and help benefit their moods too.  I also had to contact Zesty Paws customer service directly for something & they were super nice & helpful!
