ANXITANE® (L-Theanine) Chewable Tablet - Promotes relaxation for anxious behavior - Medium/Large Dog >22lbs

Product is as described. Was recommended by my veterinarian for daily use for my cat to help with anxiety issues. Helps to keep him calmer.

These seem to be working really well for my cats. They will both just taking them as if they are treats. One cat is high anxiety and afraid of any new people, or the dog, or the vacuum. The other cat is a bit more aggressive, and has back twitches all the time. But when they are given one of these pills the back twitches stop, and he is not longer aggressive and the scaredy cat, sprawls herself out on the floor with not a care in the world. I hope I keep getting these results.

These seem to help my cats take the edge off. It reduces fighting with the youngest troublemaker and has cut down on the excessive meowing. It hasn’t helped with inappropriate urinating on my furniture. Still trying to find something that helps with that. I also tried this with my dog for fireworks anxiety and it gave her diarrhea, and it wasn’t strong enough to help ease her anxiety.

UPDATE: Company changed their formula and it now smells horrible and gives my cat diarrhea. The product information included is no longer accurate. They are shipping something different. After moving to a new home last spring, a couple months later my cat Fred started throwing up weekly (or more). After a round of diagnostics, new prescription food, an ultrasound, and more diagnostics, my vet and I think that his anxiety is playing a roll (at least in part). I started Fred on Anxitane in Dec 2022 and after 2 months, he a new cat. He is no longer hiding most of the day. He comfortable hangs out and sleeps throughout the house and has started watching birds and squirrels again. He does not eat these on their own, but will in a pill pocket or even easier is I crush into his morning and evening food. To optimize the L-Theanine dosage for him I do supplement these with PetHonest Calming Treats. These pills are 50mg/day and after trying a couple different things, his ideal does is about 64 mg/day. Days when I'm expecting company, I will give him a few extra. I don't expect that these will ever change him enough to not be scared of new people since he was abused early in his life. A couple things to keep in mind if you're thinking about trying them. I did see some change early on, but two months was the sweet spot. There are various calming products with L-Theanine. Anxitane seems to have the highs mg per treat/dose, so if you've tried other calming treats with no luck this one may be better. While these are on the more expensive side, the relief Fred has from them are well worth it.

NOTE: After reading previous reviews, I feel I must say, it’s a medication designed to work over time and needs to be taken regularly to keep working. It’s NOT designed to be a one and done pill or an as needed pill, as it needs to get into your pet’s system in order to benefit from it. AND continuously administered to keep benefitting from it. I rescue senior cats from my local humane society and took in a 16 yr old black cat named Sweet Pea. I have 3 other cats and, after the transition period, he was urinating through my home on my rugs and aggressive to my other cats. I took him for full blood work and the results were fine so my vet recommended I try Anxitane. It took about 5-7 days for me to see the 180 turn around on Sweet Pea. It’s a miracle!! After a yr of him being aggressive and urinating, he doesn’t urinate anymore (outside his box) and he’s really living up to his name. He’s been taking it for almost a yr now and still doing great! There was a time that I was getting lax on giving him his regular twice a day pills and he relapsed into urinating and being aggressive again. So I make sure to give it to him regularly. He’s such a happy, sweet boy when he’s on his “happy pills”. Aren’t we all?! Hehe!

These were a Godsend! None of the other calming treatments I tried made any difference for my cat, including Prozac which made her look truly stoned and paranoid. She started playing again!

I have two senior cats who have medical issues that cause them to be anxious and/or restless. One cat will eat the chewable tablets as if they are treats. I put it on the floor and he gobbles it up. The other cat will not eat it. I crushed it and put it in wet food (he wouldnt eat it) and I tried putting it in a squeezable treat that has a gravy consistency. He is such a picky eater than he usually wouldnt eat all of it so the tablet was wasted. Considering the price, and the fact that when he did eat some of it, it didnt seem to be effective, I stopped trying to give it to him. CBD oil works better on him. The product does seem to be helping the other cat but it wasnt instantaneous. I dosed him for 3 days before I noticed a difference. Given the cost, I may not purchase another box. I have just as good luck with CBD oil and its much more cost effective.

My Vet recommended Anxitane for my 12 yr old nervous Shih Tzu who fears storms, fireworks and any other loud situations. He has been taking it for about 9 months and the results have been astonishing. I noticed after about 5 months that he seemed to be less scared when folks rang the doorbell. We just experienced a series of T-storms and 4th of July fireworks and my pup barely reacted. I’m honestly astonished at how well this supplement works. It is very expensive (about $1 a day for a small dog) but worth it to keep my dog calm.

these are excellent for one of my cats who's extremely anxious and tense,they make him relax and less tense

Mon chat ne dormait que 6-8 heures par jour. Le reste du temps, il fallait jouer avec TOUT LE TEMPS ! Depuis que je lui donne ce produit, il dort 16-20 heures par jour et 2 sessions de jeux de 15-20 minutes par jour suffisent ! Le produit fonctionne, mais assurez-vous de lui donner le temps d'agir (au moins 7 jours) avant de décider d'arrêter. L'effet est cumulatif et donc, le produit ne fonctionne pas instantanément. Mon chat attend son "bonbon" avec impatience tous les matins (pas besoin de me battre avec lui pour qu'il le mange!)

Je met 4 étoiles, non pas parce que ce n'est pas efficace...! Mais simplement parce que c'est dispendieux. Par contre je souhaite de tout mon cœur qu' Amazon va toujours en avoir en stock, car ce produit aide ÉNORMÉMENT mon chien "épileptique" et extrêmement anxieux, à se détendre... Oui, c'est dispendieux. Mais ce produit à carrément sauvé mon chien. Sans ce produit, mon chien faisait des crises d'épilepsie à TOUT les jours. Maintenant, il en fait une à deux "petites", par semaine !!! C'est incroyable !!!!

I had two cats that had got super anxious after a house move and building work. Been using these and without a doubt they are both calmer and they love eating them. I’d recommend them but give them a few weeks to work

Used on advice of behaviour therapist. Noticed small differences in cat behaviour. Too early for comprehensive review.
