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

My cats love this powder and want it at every meal. It contains L theanine and I originally purchased it from my vet to relax an anxious kitty who suffered from incurable idiopathic cystitis. now he has no more issues and I use this powder to entice him to eat when it’s not his favorite food. They both love it as a treat especially in the evenings, so they are less inclined to disturb us with the zoomies. Relaxes the pets and improves appetite. I always have it on hand.

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 is an adult. My cat has always been naturally skittish. He hates company and my guests used to think he was a myth. A few days of this amd he actually comes out to see the guests every so often. His social anxiety is so much less. He lets more people pet him now. That alone is worth the price and 5 stars. Cat parents: THIS STUFF ACTUALLY WORKS.

I wouldn’t say this has calmed my cats down to 0% crazy, but I do think it has taken the edge off. Less crazed zoomies at night. They also PREFER their food with this now lol. Meow when given food without this sprinkled on. I wish it wasn’t so expensive.

So far so good. I give half a packet to two of my cats. One is anxious/spicey and the other is a young male with tons of energy and zero brain cells. She’d hiss and hit him if he just walked past her - he’d confuse it for playing. Cycle continues. The one cat is no longer hiding above the cabinets. She isn’t being overly aggressive either. She’s started to sleep on the couch. The boy has calmed some. Sleeps almost the whole night and actually listens when you tell him no instead of giving in to his inner thoughts (if he has any). I have one other cat who sometimes tries to eat their food and he does throw up afterwards but not sure if that’s the food that doesn’t agree with him or the the packet.

This powder was recommended by our vet for my female cat with hyperesthesia. I think it is calmed her down a little bit and she seems to really enjoy the taste of the powder that we sprinkle over her wet treat. My husband tends to think it doesn’t really make a difference. She has been on it for six months. It’s pretty pricey it almost a dollar a day, but it is a lot cheaper on Amazon than it was at our vets office.

Works on my cats and they seem to like the taste. Whenever I spread it on the food they look at as a treat.

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.
