Each SettleMe™ chew contains a blend of ingredients believed to be helpful in supporting calm behaviour and in reducing anxiety, stress-related behaviours and over-activity.

Vet, cattery/kennel or groomer visits
Fireworks, thunderstorms and noise phobias
Parties and visitors
Travelling
Introducing a new pet or family member
Separation anxiety
The chews are seen as a treat and are easy to give, with or without food.

Have bought these before. My dog suffers from allergies and also doesn't like fireworks. These chews help to settle her so she's able to settle and sleep.

I had high hopes after reading the reviews that this product would help calm my dog. Sadly it didnāt, even using the double dosage for a couple of weeks as recommended by Vio Vet. Sadly my boy went as crazy as usual on hearing the fireworks.

I have tried my Daschund on many different products over the years, for the craziness and distressed that is caused by fireworks. I bought them early and by mid October he was taking them. He loved the smell and was keen to take them as they are like a meaty sweet. Sadly they had no effect on him whatsoever, he was in them for nearly a month and I didnāt see any change in his behaviour. Sadly it is back to the drawing board for Christmas and New Years Eve.

Tried this on my 2 Westies 11 & 12yrs I'm not sure if it has helped last night before the big bang the 5th they were both pretty distraught. I would have liked to have said they worked but not sure.

VioVet's Response:
Hi David, Thanks for letting us know you your dogs got on and for trying SettleMe. Longstanding phobias are tough to help dogs through, so it will take some time for them to learn that fireworks won't harm them. Perservering with SettleMe to help them have a better mindset during the next week or so should help them adapt better than if they didn't have that extra support. We'd also recommend drawing all of your curtains and turning the tv/music a little louder to help disguise the bangs, and try to remain calm and quiet when they come to you for comfort.Ā We've got lots of other last minute tips & fireworks help articles on our blogs if you wanted to have a read :-). We hope it gets less stressful for them as time goes on! All the best, VioVet

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding SettleMeā¢ Calming Support Chews For Cats & Dogs, including answers from our team.
Janet Shaw
Both my westies are frightened of fireworks. Do i start to give these in advance of the day or will they be affective just given on the day?
Give the recommended dose 1 to 2 hours before the expected stressful
event is going to occur. For prolonged stressors, such as firework
season, we recommend using daily for 5 to 7 days before the expected
season and throughout, for as long as the stressor occurs.
If the fear is mild you may find just dosing on the day is fine but if you want to get the full effect then dosing in the build up to the season for 5 to 7 days is advised.
AJ
Can these SettleMe chews (and the liquid) be given alongside Milk Thistle, for a dog who takes that for liver support? Thank you.
Hi AJ,
Yes, you can use either SettleMe product alongside Milk Thistle. The ingredients in SettleMe are natural and should have no interaction with other supplements/medication.
Kind regards,
Danielle

Hi, my cat is a very anxious cat and I've been giving her Cystease for about a month and have seen signs of improvement. Can I give these chews in conjunction with Cystease during a stay at a cattery.
Thank you
Hi Penny,
Thank you for your question,
There is only one overlapping ingredient between the SettleMe™ Chews and Cystease, so they should benefit from the extra ingredients found in SettleMe™ chews. As both contain natural ingredients, they are also safe to give in conjunction with each other according to the feeding guidelines. We also sell SettleMe™ in a liquid formulation which is extra palatable, especially to cats, which can be found here.
I hope this helps!
Susan Andrews
My rescue Lurcher doesn't like travelling in the car. She drools excessively (we have to line the car boot with several newspapers) and is sick as well, even if she hasn't had a meal. She also shows fear aggression at the vets. Will Settle-Me help?
Hi Susan,
SettleMe should be able to help your lurcher feel calmer and receive desensitisation training more easily, however it does sound like her fears are quite severe, so no supplement will be able to resolve it alone. They're perfect for helping her to achieve a more positive mindset and feel calmer, but it would be most beneficial to do some training with her over a long period of time, using a calming supplement like SettleMe to improve her receptiveness.
It sounds like she has a rough time, and if motion sickness is the reason for her vomiting, rather than fear, then your vet would be best placed to prescribe medication to help with this. However, drooling and vomiting can be through fear, and you will be able to help your dog through this.
For the fear of travel, you can give her SettleMe daily, around 1-2 hours before a little training session. Start with getting her into the car regularly, and sit with her until she is calm. You can give her gentle reassurance to help her calm down, and her favourite treat when she's settled. Do this daily/every other day until she can enter the car calmly. Then move on to starting the engine and very short trips of a couple of minutes, then progress perhaps to a nearby park or somewhere she enjoys, so she learns that not all journeys are bad. Over time, you should be able to increase the length of journey but I'm afraid it won't be a quick fix (although I'm now not 'scared' of them, and I make myself take a close look, I'm still not ready to pick up a big house spider!).
If she isn't sick on shorter journeys, hopefully you can start taking a toy and comfy bedding to help her enjoy the ride more too :-). I hope this helps - please get in touch.
Kind regards,
Danielle

How effective is this for car travel? My border terrier absolutely hates the car she looking for something to keep him calm on long journey.
It is very hard to say how effective this supplement will be for your dog. Some calmers seem to work better for some dogs than others so it can be a little trial and error. However SettleMe would be as good as any to try first. If you do not have much success with this one then you could have a look at others such as Zylkene, Adaptil Express or Calmex. It would also be worth getting some tips from a dog behaviourist to use alongside the calmer- www.apbc.org.uk is a good place to look.
Nikki Roberts
Hi. My 11 month old puppy suffers from separation anxiety when I leave her in the day. Is it safe to use this long term until she calms down? Thanks.
Yes SettleMe chews are safe to use at the maintenance dose long term. You could also try an Adaptil diffuser to help her settle. Leaving the television or radio on can sometimes help as well. You may find some other useful tips on www.apbc.org.uk.
Wendy Brown
Did I miss something on the advert - what is the dosage for Settle Me?
There is a tab on the product page listed "Directions for use". If you click on there it will show the dosing guidelines. For the first 4-5 days it is recommended to double dose and then go down to a maintenance dose after that. So for a dog under 10kg it is 2 chews initially then 1 chew daily, 10-20kg dog is 4 chews then 2 chews, 20-30kg dog is 6 chews then 3 chews and over 30kgs is 8 chews then 4 chews daily.
Rosemary Munro
Can you please how many of these little treats I should give to my border collie per day. she weighs about 22 kgs.
A loading dose is recommended for the first 4-5 days so your dog would intially need 6 chews a day reducing to 3 chews a day at the maintenance dose.
