Dog owners have been sharing their experiences with a supplement that they say makes a 'significant difference in behaviour' for anxious pets. The PAWD Calming Powder has become a popular choice for pet parents looking to help their nervous dogs cope with everyday stressors.
How the supplement works
The product is available in two varieties: one for small dogs up to 15kg and another for larger dogs over 15kg. It is added to a dog's water bowl and stirred in, with the recommended daily serving. The water volume can be adjusted based on how much the dog typically drinks in 24 hours.
The supplement is designed to help with a range of anxiety-inducing situations, including fear of being left alone, sensitivity to loud noises, hyperactivity, barking, stress during car journeys, and nervousness around new people and other dogs.
Pricing and discounts
Normally priced at £29.84 for a one-off purchase of the 30-day small dog pack, pet owners can use the code ANXIOUS10 at checkout to reduce the price to £26.86. For larger dogs, a one-time purchase of a 30-day supply costs £34.31, dropping to £30.88 with the code. The retailer says the best value option is a subscription for a three-pack, providing a 90-day supply.
Based on the one-time purchase, small dog owners pay around 90p per day, while those with larger dogs pay approximately £1 daily.
Owner testimonials
Dog owners have left high praise for the Calming Powder. One said of their pup: 'She gets scared by noises and starts panting and shaking, but PAWD quickly calms her. No more shaking and her breathing settles.'
Another raved: 'Pixie can be anxious and we have noticed she can relax outside for longer periods of time without barking.' A third owner with reactive dogs added: 'PAWD Calming has really helped with their reactivity with other dogs when we are out.'
Positive results for many
Blossom's owner commented: 'After a couple of days on PAWD Blossom had her first pleasant experience around a park with lots of contact with dogs, no barking as usual.' Another said: 'Not only does she love the taste but the difference in her anxiety is amazing.'
A reviewer named Spencer (speaking for his dog) wrote: 'He licks the bowl clean every single day! We have noticed a significant difference in his behaviour when being left alone for periods of time and also when we are out in public he is a lot calmer and less reactive. This is amazing as it was always a little embarrassing! We love PAWD.'
Alternative products
Pooch & Mutt offers Calm & Relaxed Beef Collagen Chews at £5.99 for a one-off purchase. These are made from 61% beef collagen as an alternative to rawhide, helping to nourish skin and coat. Meanwhile, Amazon sells Bugalugs Calming Treats for Dogs at 31% off, down to £23.99 from £34.99 for 120 chews.
One negative review
However, not all feedback has been positive. One user on Trustpilot said: 'I have noticed very little difference in my dog's behaviour - she still barks at every little noise outside during the day and she still barks constantly at anyone who walks past our gate.'
Despite this, the majority of reviews highlight significant improvements in their dogs' anxiety and behaviour.
