Overview
A 60-count bacon flavored soft chew for dogs built around chamomile, passion flower, L-tryptophan and thiamine, positioned by GNC Pets as a behavior support supplement for puppies and adult dogs.
This formula skips melatonin and hemp, relying instead on chamomile, passion flower, L-tryptophan and thiamine, a lighter combination than some extra strength competitors. It is labeled Brazil nut free, worth noting for households managing allergies. The 60-count bag points to repeated or ongoing use rather than a single-event dose.

Who it's for
Owners looking for a milder, melatonin-free calming chew for general behavior support rather than one-off situational stress. Owners who need a stronger, sedative-style chew for major triggers like fireworks may want a melatonin-based formula instead.
