- Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements Calming Care Cat Supplements - 30 ct. Box

Good supplement that was recommended by our vet, really calmed her down, she was over grooming to the point she had bald spots and they recommended this to see if it would chill her out, and it worked! Doesn't have any bad smell, she likes the taste of it and eats it just dusted over some dry food, for whatever reason this cat isn't a fan of moist food, she just prefers dry kibble, but she licks all the powder out of her bowl no problem. We are happy with it and keep ordering more, we took a pause on using it for a month just to see that it was making an improvement and it wasn't something else and her problem came back, went back to the calming care powder and the problem went away again, so it definitely does work.

This made a huge difference for my cat who suffers with anxiety and any kind of change. This has been so beneficial for her adapting ro her new environment when I moved and she has not had any kind of accidents outside the litter box. Its helped her be more interactive with the dog and less apprehensive. She loves the tastes and notices when I forget to give it to her. The effects of this on her behavior have been amazing.

I am shocked as to how well Purina Calming Care for cats has worked!... I adopted an abandoned 1 yr old VERY large 15 lb (un-neutered) male kitty 1 1/2 yrs ago & got him neutered immediately. The challenge was I already had a super mellow 11 lb 15 yr old male cat that the young "brute" despised... Right out of the starting gate the new male addition began attacking my older boy on a regular basis. I knew he was very jealous of him. Un-fortunately, my 15 yr old cat was being bullied weekly by the young male. I tried EVERYTHING from pheromone collars, diffusers, sprays, shock collar (1 week), & CBD oil, & none of these things would stop the brute's weekly stalking attacks. There were more than numerous occasions I felt I would have to re-home the new cat. (Last week's attack on my 15 yr old was so brutal that I had planned to surrender the young male cat to the SPCA the next day.)... Later that same night directly following the attack, I read an article about Purina Calming Care. It almost sounded too good to be true & too simple to work so well. But, what did I have to lose? After all, I had tried everything else.... I have been giving the young male cat 1 packet of the Calming Care sprinkled & mixed into his wet food every early evening for the past 5 evenings. (I chose the evening time to give him the Calming Care because 95% of the time his "Bully Attitude" / attacks would happen in the evenings & outdoors where he would "ambush" my older male cat.)... Well, I'll be darn! For the past 5 nights, I have had a perfect young male "gentleman" cat hanging out with me on my living room couch. He is thoroughly calm & behaves like any other normal cat. He's not the amped, fired-up young "male stud" cat wanting to go outside at night to be / act like a typical, on-the-prowl, fighting Tom Cat like he use to be. Now, the young boy seems perfectly content... AND, not 1 hair on my 15 yr old male cat's body has been touched by the young "brute" in the past 5 days.... I can honestly say that I am truly baffled as to how something so simple as probiotics, specifically "BL999," which is what's in Calming Care, could work so doggone well. But, so far, it has brought a great deal of peace into my home, & has changed a cat from being a Bully to a content cat that I'm really wanting to keep... Even my sweet 15 yr old male cat is a bit confused & surprised with the peaceful change. : ) ** WARNING UPDATE: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS MALTODEXTRIN (IT SPIKES CARBOHYDRATES & IS AS BAD AS TABLE SUGAR WITH CATS GLUCOSE LEVELS. THE SYMPTOMS RESULT WITH INCREASED HUNGER & FOOD CRAVINGS, & CAN LEAD TO DIABETES.)... AFTER ONLY (1) MONTH, MY CAT PUT ON A LOT MORE WEIGHT & BECAME LITERALLY BORDER-LINE OBESE... I WOULD (NOT) RECOMMEND THIS TO BE USED WITH ANY ANIMAL. NOT IF IT CAN LEAD TO DIABETES.

My cat appeared to be a little calmer while taking this. He absolutely LOVED the flavor and aroma which made it very easy to give to him. But he liked it so much that he became obsessed with it and was starting to not want to eat his regular food without this sprinkled on it. It would be a great appetite stimulant.

Recently moved out of state and made the long 13 hour drive all at once with 4 cats. 2 indoor cats- one who’s usually chill and one an anxiety fur ball 2 outdoor cats- one who cry’s all the time and one who is at least 15 years old with horrible motion sickness usually tossing bodily fluids as soon as the car is in drive. Started them all on Calming Care powder 3 days before trip til about 2 weeks after the big moved. They ate is just fine mixed into wet food. VERY EFFECTIVE The car ride was smooth, with no bodily fluids nor was there a lot of crying/hissing. We did give each of them plenty of catnip in the car just for extra measure. Our move, including the long drive, was a very smooth and stress free experience for all four of our cats with four very different personalities and behaviors and I really believe it’s due to giving them the Calming Care.

We have a diluted orange boy and a tuxedo girl who have their *quirks*. Orange boy is a certified sour patch kid but worse. He’s the ex that will run you over with their car and have the audacity to offset the felony by driving you to the hospital. For some reason he is just a bully so we tried some more enrichment of letting him experience the backyard under supervision, i.e a leash (they are all indoor cats). Didn’t work but what did start is him screaming at 3-5am to go outside. Specifically coming to my side of the bed to scream at me, not my wife. His meow sounds like a women screaming bloody murder though so this rattling us out of bed every single morning was less than ideal. Nothing quite like your fight or flight response getting triggered before the day even started. Tuxedo girl was a street rescue, we believe someone abandoned her in the parking lot we found her in, for days she never left the area not even for food. She was still very young around 6-7 months at that time. It took us multiple nights to build the trust to when she came home with us but even now, if we are cleaning or moving too much stuff around, she won’t be seen for 3-4 business days strictly cause of that. She is very skittish if we make sudden movements still. Luckily her and the orange boy were around the same age at the time she was rescued so he taught her how to be a cat a bit but she still doesn’t quite grasp playing. We found out the day after we brought her home that she was not spayed and would have trouble making the move to get her spayed due to her being heart worm positive with the potential of complications. So since she has come of age now (were about a 1yr and 4 months) - I’ve never wanted to unhear a sound as much as I do now. I’m not sure how cats view that hollering as a proposition/invitation but Godspeed. —With that background— They’ve been getting this mixed in with their dinners (half wet and dry food plus beef broth/water mixture) for a little over a week and a half. Since then, I have had peace. My girl is seeking out what she calls “play” far more especially with our youngest addition. We are currently going through her first heat with her being on this and the nights into the mornings are surprisingly quiet so far. She actually just sleeps on our schedule finally. My boy hasn’t been playing AS rough (it’s not a miracle powder, he will still commit acts of violence) with his siblings and has actually been taking care of the kitten. And again, peaceful mornings. I didn’t anticipate it working as good or as quickly for what we needed regarding our problematic 4 legged children but here we are. I wouldn’t recommend just throwing it on dry food if that has been a complaint about cats not liking this cause I mean.. would you just raw dog eating some dirt on dehydrated bits? It’s not powdered sugar on a donut. To each their own cause all cats are different, don’t expect miracles but hopefully this lovely essay gives some perspective at least.

Disappointed so far. I wish we could message people on Amazon and interact. We have a street cat that we captured and brought in, thinking it was our lost twin to our Tabby, Lily. It turned out that it is not him. This Tigger was not chipped and not neutered. My daughter took him the next day to have him fixed and now that it is 5 months later, very content to live indoors. He has all of the dry and wet food he could want. But our two resident cats, a Russian blue who is 18 and the tabby, Lily, are terrified of this guy. Tigger has gotten very big and he has a fierce face! From living on the street, I imagine he had to fight all the time. My neighbor sent me a video of him chasing away three foxes. He has attacked my Russian twice so that now I keep baby gates up when he is upstairs. He has a nice basement apartment but I wish they could all get along! I tried this Purina product for almost a month and it doesn't seem to make any difference. As soon as he sees one of the upstairs cats, his tail starts to thump on the floor. And I know he would be right over those baby gates if I wasn't there. I'm going to try a spray bottle. I sprayed him yesterday when he looked like he was ready to leap. I don't know if I should try having him in the same room with one of them and try calmly petting both, but it's kind of scary. I don't think the calming product has affected him at all. 😢 Update: I still can't understand why this doesn't work on my big monster cat. I was thinking about suggesting it to my daughter who picked up a little tuxedo cat who was running around in a very busy parking lot at the Nexus of two extremely busy streets. Such a sweet, beautiful little kitty with a black mask on her white face! But unfortunately, now that she's happily got her home, she's bored and she wants to go outside. And when she goes out in the backyard she tries to climb every tree she can. They have been putting up chicken wire and brackets with the fence curving inward and she even put cardboard, Amazon boxes on the bottom 4 ft of some of the trees and has this kitty on a leash even in the backyard! So I'm wondering if this product might help calm this Kitty until she outgrows the crazy stage. I also suggested pheromones which I have left over from my monster, and calming collars which I have also, and even zylkene. We'll see if all of this works on that kitty. So many people have had such great results!

My cats love this on their food. I have used both this one and the FortiFlora for years and apologize for just now leaving a review. I began using this because my vet recommended it when one of my kitties needed to take some meds, and I put it in his food. I sprinkle it on their food every AM and PM. My cats are a bit on the bougie side and will literally "sit" by their bowl until they get their "sprinkles" on their food. I don't put the meds in the food any longer, but the sprinkles never seemed to go away. Highly recommend it if you need to encourage your kitty to eat. I also put it on their dry food as well. Told you I had bougie kitties. It's my own fault; I made them that way, and I admit it without embarrassment. They are both rescues, and there's no telling what or where they had to live or eat before we got them. They deserve these "sprinkles," in my opinion, and I am happy to provide these for them.
