9 reviews forRoyal Canin Expert - Calm Small Dog

I ordered the food full of hope for my little scaredy-cat. Unfortunately, she didn’t eat it; it has the typical smell like many RC products – it clearly didn’t appeal to her at all.

I stumbled upon this food by chance, and my dog (6 years old) really enjoys eating it. I've only been testing it for 4 days so far. Today, I noticed a positive change in her. My dog is extremely anxious when it comes to noises and movements, and she generally doesn't like animals or people (most of the time), along with a few other quirks... I've tried everything from BARF diets and various trainers to supplements, all without success. I'm curious to see how things develop over the next few weeks.

My sister ordered this food for my "anxious dog" last winter. My dog completely loses it when there are loud noises; utterly panicked and beside himself, and there's no calming him down! This is about the last night of the year, 31st December. The calming tablets prescribed by the vet didn’t help much – "Adumbran" from human medicine. So, I fed him this food 10 days before the fireworks started – it helped a lot!!! Highly recommended!

This product really works my dog finds this time off year (fire works) stressful. She's highly strung and very protective of the house. At Halloween there were hoards off children knocking the door and she was calm. The only thing is it's very expensive considering the size of the bag.

A recommendation from my vet led me to this food, as I didn’t want to "pump" my four-legged friend full of medication. Even after giving him the first sample of the food, I noticed a positive change in my dog’s behaviour. He’s calm around children’s voices and people – quite the opposite of how he used to be. I should mention that Balou, for 6.5 years, only had contact with animals, so people, and especially children, were unfamiliar to him. This food is highly recommended.

Patches is an adult dog but doesn't like to be separated from us at all. This was often translated into his behaviour and he was very nervous. He often didn't want to eat anything, and if we ever went away for a longer period when we got back he couldn't digest his food properly for a while, he had diarrhoea and vomiting. I found this food on this site and decided to try it. Patches is still not a fan of being left alone in the house, but he has no more problems with his stomach :)

ideal during a life change, to familiarize a lost pet, soothe a stressed dog. Kibble without any side effects or addiction, according to my vet. It is the ideal tool if the need arises. You actually see results within days. Also available for cats. I highly recommend it!

We had a lot of serious aggression between 2 of our cats. 1 of them just constantly stalked the other and there were some very nasty fights. The cat that was being bullied had started to stay away from home for long periods of time and would leave the house as soon as we went to bed. We tried Zylkene, we had 3 Feliway diffusers plugged in around the house but nothing was working and it was costing a small fortune on top of the Applaws dry food we were buying. My cats have been on Calm for less than a week and the improvement is dramatic. No more fights or stalking,no growling or howling and the spraying is massively reduced. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. I was skeptical at first but this will be the only dry food I ever feed our 4 cats from now on.

The second of my dogs has problems with his nerves, he's afraid of everything and can't decide what to do and when to do it. Since he has been eating this food he has been calmer and even been happy in situations that would usually flip him into overdrive. It's definitely the food, because we switched it out for another one for two weeks and he got worse again, so we returned to this again. I don't even give the full does of this food, I only mix a third of it with 2 thirds of raw food. The dog uses his fishing skills to get the dry food out of the raw food, he likes it so much.
