Cat Calming Chews — Everyday Calm Support for Cats A cat-specific calming chew built around hemp oil, chamomile, valerian root, and L-tryptophan — formulated to support a settled, composed cat through the moments that tend to unsettle one: the carrier, the car, the vet's waiting room, a houseful of guests, a move. Formulated for cats, not a scaled-down dog chew. What This Does Cats tend to hide what unsettles them rather than announce it, which is why owners often notice a change in routine before they notice a change in mood. Hiding more than usual, a shift in grooming habits, a change in appetite, or a cat who is suddenly harder to approach are all worth paying attention to. This formula is designed to support a calm, settled cat through those situations. Hemp oil is included to help support a balanced stress response. Chamomile and valerian root are long-used calming botanicals. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid the body uses as a building block for serotonin, which contributes to normal mood and emotional balance. Taken together and given consistently, they are meant to support a cat who settles more easily — not a sedated one. Key Ingredients Hemp Oil — Naturally rich in fatty acids, included to help support a balanced stress response alongside healthy skin and coat. Does not cause intoxication. Chamomile — A gentle botanical used for generations to promote a relaxed, settled state, with a long history of use as a calming ingredient. Valerian Root — A long-used calming botanical, included to help support a cat's own ability to slow down and settle. Note: some cats show a brief stimulant-like response to valerian at first, and this commonly settles with regular use. L-Tryptophan — An essential amino acid and dietary precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter central to normal mood and emotional balance. Supplying tryptophan gives the body the raw material it uses to maintain that balance. Exact amounts per serving are printed on the product label.

Who This Is For Cats who find vet visits, car travel, the carrier, or boarding stressful Cats in a multi-cat household, or adjusting to a new pet or a new person in the home Cats living through a move, a remodel, or a change in the household routine Cats who are slow to settle in new environments or around new people Cats who are unsettled by storms, fireworks, or construction noise Senior cats who need help with the wind-down at the end of the day How to Use Follow the weight-based dosing guide printed on the product label, and do not exceed the maximum daily amount shown there. Talk with your veterinarian if you are unsure what is right for your cat. For a stressful situation you can see coming — a carrier trip, a vet appointment, houseguests — give the labeled amount ahead of the event rather than in the middle of it. A cat who is already wound up is a much harder cat to help settle. For everyday support, give at roughly the same time each day and judge the results over the long run rather than day to day. Consistency is the part most owners get wrong: they try a calming chew for a few days, decide nothing happened, and stop. What to Expect This is a supplement, not a sedative. It is designed to support a cat who is calmer and more composed, not one who is knocked out — your cat should stay alert, responsive, and himself. Every cat is an individual, so watch yours the first few times you give the chews and see how he responds before you rely on them for a big day out. Judge everyday use over the long run rather than day to day, and pair it with the unglamorous things that actually move the needle for a cat: a predictable routine, enough vertical space and hiding places, clean and well-placed litter boxes, and play that lets him use himself up. You will get far more out of the chews that way than from any chew on its own. Storage and Handling Keep the container sealed between uses and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not use past the expiration date printed on the label. Keep out of reach of children and pets — the chews are palatable, and a determined pet who finds the container will not stop at the labeled amount. Safety Notes This formula contains hemp oil. If your cat is currently on any prescription medication — including behavior medications, sedatives, pain management drugs, or thyroid medications — consult your veterinarian before use. Hemp oil can interact with medications processed by the liver's cytochrome P450 enzyme system, which handles the metabolism of many common veterinary drugs, and that interaction can change how quickly a medication is cleared. This is a short conversation to have with your vet, not a reason to avoid the supplement — your vet should simply know everything your cat is taking. This formula also contains L-tryptophan, an amino acid the body uses in the serotonin pathway. If your cat is on any medication that affects serotonin, talk with your veterinarian before combining the two. Do not use in pregnant or nursing cats. Do not use in kittens under 12 weeks without veterinary guidance. Frequently Asked Questions Will these make my cat drowsy or sedated? The formula is built around calming botanicals and an amino acid, and it is designed to support a settled, composed cat rather than a sedated one. Your cat should remain alert, responsive, and social. If you see excessive drowsiness, stay within the labeled amount and check with your veterinarian. How far ahead of a stressful event should I give one? Give the labeled amount ahead of the event rather than once it is already underway — getting ahead of it is the whole idea. For an ongoing situation, such as a new pet in the home or seasonal storms, steady daily use within the labeled amount builds a more consistent baseline than a single dose does. Are these safe for kittens? These chews are formulated for adult cats. For kittens, consult your veterinarian before use — not because the ingredients are known to be harmful, but because the label's dosing guidance is written for adult cats. Can I give extra on a big day, like a long car trip? No. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount shown on the label. If the labeled amount is not giving your cat enough support on a high-stress day, that is a signal to talk with your veterinarian about the right plan for days like that — not a signal to give more.
