Overview
POPPAW's calming chews build on ashwagandha and L-theanine rather than melatonin, sold as a bacon-flavored, 90-count bag labeled Max Strength for dogs dealing with anxiety, stress, separation, or thunder reactions.
Positioning these as non-drowsy separates them from sedative-style calming aids, aiming for a dog that stays calm without appearing knocked out. The listing gives no per-weight dosing chart, so an owner would need to work from the bag's own directions rather than this data.
- Manufacturer and brand: POPPAW
- Item weight 12 ounces
- Targeted at dogs specifically
- Package sized 3.7 x 3.66 x 3.5 inches
Who it's for
Dog owners looking for a daily or situational calming supplement that avoids melatonin and drowsiness. Not a fit for anyone needing an immediate, heavily sedating option during acute panic.
