I have two pups, both have anxiety upon separation & loud noises. I tried the treat form from another brand and they REFUSED to touch them. If I was able to mash them up and mix them in food I saw no change in their temperament. I decided to try the Cured RAW PAW oil because this is the brand I personally use for myself and have had a great experience with everything I've tried thus far. While the pickier of my two pups still gives me a bit of trouble taking it, when it is taken the results were phenomenal. It helped both dogs relax and sleep - even on 4th of July during fireworks. While it wasn't a miracle worker and they still had some symptoms, everything was much more manageable.
