Vet IQ Calming Treats for Cats (30 Day Supply)

Calming Chews for Thunderstorms, Vet Visits, and Separation

Product Description

Vet IQ Calming Treats are dual-texture cat chews with a crunchy outside and soft, creamy center, formulated with six active ingredients to support relaxation and balanced behavior during stressful situations. Melatonin works with the body's natural rhythms to support calmness. GABA helps manage normal stress. Valerian root and chamomile promote relaxation. L-theanine supports calm without drowsiness, and vitamin B1 supports nervous system function. Savory chicken flavor. For cats 12 weeks and older.

Benefits

• Melatonin for Natural Calmness: Melatonin is a natural compound that works with the body's own rhythms to support calmness and balanced behavior.
• GABA Manages Normal Stress: GABA is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps cats manage normal stress levels, supporting a calmer behavioral response.
• L-Theanine Promotes Calm Without Drowsiness: L-theanine increases GABA levels in the brain and manages cortisol, the stress hormone, helping cats stay relaxed.
• Valerian Root and Chamomile: Both are traditional herbal ingredients with a long history of use for relaxation support, including together to promote calmness and balanced behavior in cats.
• Vitamin B1 Supports the Nervous System: Cats cannot synthesize vitamin B1 themselves. Including thiamine directly supports nervous system function and helps cats manage normal stress more effectively.

How to Use

Dosage and Administration Instructions   

• Give daily or as needed: These can be given daily as a consistent calming supplement or as needed before a known stressful event such as a vet visit, car ride, or fireworks.
• Give by weight: Administer one chew per pound of body weight; do not exceed the recommended daily amount in any 24-hour period regardless of the cat's size.
• Give before stressful events: For situational stress, give the chew ahead of the anticipated stressor to allow the active ingredients time to take effect before the event begins.
• Give daily for full results: L-theanine may show results in as little as 15 days, with better results at 30 days. Consistent daily use delivers more reliable outcomes than occasional use only.

Additional Information

Precautions   

• For cats 12 weeks and older only: Do not give to kittens younger than 12 weeks; confirm age before starting supplementation in very young or underweight cats.
• Do not exceed daily dose: Do not give more than the weight-based recommended amount in a 24-hour period; exceeding the dose does not increase effectiveness and can cause unwanted effects.
• Supplemental feeding only: These are supplement chews for supplemental use and are not a complete and balanced food for any cat life stage or breed size.
• Consult vet for persistent anxiety: If your cat's stress or anxiety is severe, persistent, or does not respond to daily supplementation, consult your veterinarian for a full behavioral and health assessment.

Storage Instructions   

• Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun exposure and heat to maintain the texture and potency of the active ingredients between uses.
• Seal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to keep air and moisture out, which can affect the soft creamy center and degrade the active calming ingredients over time.
• Keep away from children: Store out of reach of children and other pets; these are cat supplement chews not intended for human use or for other animal species.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What situations is this supplement designed for?

Ans: Thunderstorms, fireworks, vet visits, car rides, grooming, and separation are what this formula is built around. Those are the situations that tend to set cats off the most, and they cover everything from one-off events to the kind of low-level daily stress that builds up over time.

Q2: Will this make my cat drowsy or sedated?

Ans: No. The formula is specifically noted to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. L-theanine and melatonin at the included levels are not sedatives; they work with the cat's natural stress response system to support a calmer state.

Q3: Why is vitamin B1 in a calming supplement?

Ans: Cats cannot synthesize vitamin B1 on their own and are more prone to thiamine deficiency than dogs. Thiamine supports nervous system function and helps the body manage normal stress more effectively.

Q4: Can this be given before a specific event rather than daily?

Ans: Yes. The dosage instructions say daily or as needed, covering both consistent daily use and situational use before known stressors. For the best overall results, daily use builds up the active ingredients over time. For cats that only face stress occasionally, giving the supplement ahead of a specific event is a practical alternative.

Q5: What is GABA and how does it help a stressed cat?

Ans: GABA is a natural amino acid that acts as a brain inhibitory neurotransmitter. It helps slow down excessive nerve activity associated with the stress response, allowing the cat to feel less reactive to external stressors.

Q6: Is valerian root safe for cats?

Ans: Yes. Valerian root is listed as an active ingredient in this formula and is one of the traditional herbal calming ingredients with a long history of use in pet supplements. The amount included is set at a level appropriate for cats.
