It works within 30 minutes and lasts up to 4 hours, with no loading dose required. Available at Boss Pets UK in 60 and 120 chew packs.

Benefits

Fast enough to be practical – Give it when you see a trigger coming rather than hours ahead.

Keeps your dog themselves – Calm behaviour without affecting energy levels or personality.

Works alongside training – A dog that is calm but alert can still learn, unlike a sedated one.

Flexible dosing – Safe to double or triple during periods of increased stress.

Veterinarian formulated – Developed by VetriScience and clinically tested in dogs.

Easy to give – A palatable soft chew rather than a tablet to hide.

How to Use

Dogs up to 22.5 kg (50 lb) – 1 chew daily.

Dogs 23–45 kg (51–100 lb) – 2 chews daily.

Dogs over 45 kg (100 lb and above) – 3 chews daily.

Timing – Give around 30 minutes before a stressful event.

Frequency – Daily or on an as-needed basis. There is no loading period.

Times of increased stress – It is safe to double or triple the dose.

Veterinary advice – Consult your vet if your dog is under veterinary care or on medication.

How It Works

The three ingredients work on different parts of the same problem. Colostrum Calming Complex® is a proprietary blend of biopeptides that supports relaxation and normal cognitive function. L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, promotes a calm but alert state by influencing neurotransmitter release — which is why it does not cause the sluggishness associated with sedatives. Thiamine, vitamin B1, supports central nervous system function. Because the formula supports normal brain activity rather than suppressing it, your dog stays alert and able to learn, which matters if you are working through a behaviour plan. The effect begins at around 30 minutes and lasts roughly 4 hours, so timing the dose to the event matters more than giving it early.

Why Choose

Onset of around 30 minutes – VetriScience's testing puts the effect at about half an hour, lasting up to 4 hours.

Non-sedating – Formulated to support calm behaviour without drowsiness or changes in personality.

No loading period – Suits a one-off event such as fireworks as readily as daily use.

Three flavours, one formula – Chicken, bacon and peanut butter are identical apart from the flavouring.

Nutritional support rather than a treatment – For genuine noise phobia or separation anxiety, a behaviour plan from your vet or a qualified behaviourist should lead, with a supplement used alongside it.

Common Uses

Fireworks, thunderstorms, travel anxiety, separation anxiety, vet appointments, and new environments.

Summary

VetriScience Composure Calming Chews are the ideal solution to help your dog stay calm during stressful situations. Made with natural ingredients and offering fast-acting relief, these chews are a trusted choice for managing anxiety in dogs.

FAQs

What is Calm & Confident?

A calming supplement for dogs containing thiamine (vitamin B1), Colostrum Calming Complex® and L-theanine, formulated to support calm behaviour without sedation.

Is this the same product as Composure?

Yes. VetriScience renamed Composure to Calm & Confident and the formula is unchanged. Packs in circulation may still carry either name.

How quickly does it work, and how long does it last?

VetriScience's testing puts the onset at around 30 minutes, with the effect lasting up to 4 hours. Individual dogs vary.

Can I give it every day?

Yes, daily or purely as needed, with no loading period. VetriScience say the dose can be doubled or tripled at times of increased stress. Check with your vet first if your dog is unwell or on medication.

Will it make my dog drowsy?

It is formulated to be non-sedating. If your dog does seem drowsy or unlike himself, stop and speak to your vet.

Are there side effects?

Uncommon, but mild digestive upset such as loose stools or vomiting is possible. Stop giving it and speak to your vet if that happens.

Will it fix separation anxiety or fear of fireworks?

It is nutritional support, not a treatment. Genuine separation anxiety and noise phobia are behavioural conditions, and they respond best to a behaviour plan from your vet or a qualified behaviourist, sometimes alongside prescription medication. A supplement can support that work but will not replace it.

Which flavour should I choose?

Whichever your dog prefers. Chicken, bacon and peanut butter are the same formula.

Where is it made?

In the USA. Available at Boss Pets UK with fast, tracked delivery.
