Does this product stop cribbing behavior


How long does the bottle last

Answer by ChewyJan 18, 2018
The supplement will vary based on your horses weight. Horses of all classes and ages 1 - 2 tablespoons per 1000 lbs body weight daily. Or 2 - 4 tablespoons to 1 hour prior to an event which may create excitement or stress. The large end of the enclosed scoop measures 1 tablespoon (approx. 1/2 oz). Or as recommended by a veterinarian.

Does it help during fireworks

So happy I tried this

After trying countless calming supplements, I’m so happy I gave this one a try. My mare developed anxiety after moving her to my new ranch and wouldn’t stand still

After trying countless calming supplements, I’m so happy I gave this one a try. My mare developed anxiety after moving her to my new ranch and wouldn’t stand still for anything. I’m talking prancing around when walking her with a lead rope, shaking on cross ties and always on edge under saddle. I’ve tried everything from feed to supplements and I literally noticed a difference with Via Calm after a WEEK! She was relaxed, both on the ground and under saddle and I’m able to take her on trails ALONE (words I never thought I’d say). I love this stuff and she eats it right up (which also never happens with other ones I’ve tried). It’s actually a pleasure to ride her again and she is always in a great mood. Definitely give this a shot if you’re experiencing what I went through, it’s a total game changer

Helps my Arab's anxiety

Via Calm was recommended by a friend and I was skeptical, as I have tried so many calming supplements over the years. Malmsey is my rescue and I've only had her 3 years, but she still has anxiety and trust problems. Constantly battling ulcers, wringing her neck, and just generally very tense. After about a month of Via Calm, I started to see a difference. Not perfect, but much more happy, forward ears! And my mare is a bit quieter under saddle. I also love the price!

I didn’t have high hopes for this. I have a 19 year old trotter new to riding that just started training a few months ago. He had been pretty scared of his new world under saddle and truthfully, I was thinking it was too much for him. I saw a post about this on Facebook and tried it. I started it with 1 tablespoon for a week and then went to 2. It took about 2 weeks to kick in. He is now figuring out life with a calm mind and is progressing amazingly well. He has a wonderful trainer that deserves much credit as well. I whole heartedly recommend this.

I give my 16 year old Thoroughbred (16'3) a scoop every day and it has helped him tremendously! He has improved a lot with this product! He used to be very shaky and anxious whenever we would take a horse away from him and pace. He would jump up a little and press himself against his stall door... now he doesn't seem to be as phased by much. He hasn't caused very many problems since we have put him on it.

I have tried every expensive highly acclaimed calming supplement out there over the past 10 years with my anxious and reactive mare. Some have made her worse , some have not helped at all. For some reason, ViaCalm has made a difference. I can see it if we run out. I can see it when I start it back up. She is who she is but this helps and gives her and me both better quality of life.

Helps my wee donkey's anxiety during farrier and vet visits

My wee, senior donkey, Elizabeth, has anxiety issues during farrier and vet visits. I try to give her natural supplements rather than the synthetics that are too harsh on her system. Often it was a fight to get the prescribed sedation product into her mouth, which had a negative impact on our relationship. Via-Calm is easily added to her beet pulp mash as needed, and she doesn't mind it being there. It doesn't make her dopey, it evens her out to be more cooperative while having her hooves trimmed or the vet examination process.

Awesome product

I have a Palamino TWH rescue that was severely beaten by her owner. She trusts no one, except me now, and is a very timid and nervous horse. I give her a scoop twice

I have a Palamino TWH rescue that was severely beaten by her owner. She trusts no one, except me now, and is a very timid and nervous horse. I give her a scoop twice a day with her grain, and it does help a great deal in calming her down. It's the best in price, too. I have to be careful because she has fecal wet syndrome, and it does not affect her symptoms at all. I've been using it for almost a year, and if I miss a day, I can see she's a bit edgy compared to when not given. Now it'a no cure, but it does work.

2 scoops a day :)

I use 2 scoops a day and it *really* takes the edge off for my gelding. He's still completely himself, he just doesn't lose it so fully in situations where he normally would. It takes his behavior from a 6 out of 10 to a 3 or 4 maybe. He tends to get over-excited on the trails and this really helps him hold it together. I sometimes give an extra 2 scoops a half hour before I load him, if we're going out trail riding. I highly recommend this (very affordable) supplement. I do think it needs to be fed at a 2 scoop rate though.

We have a very dominant and bossy 22-year-old mare, who lost her best buddy in April and was very sad. We decided to adopt a rescue gelding, also 22 years old who is just a sweet boy. However, our mare was just too aggressive with him, biting him as he passed by her stall door and making him freak out at her unacceptable behavior out in the pasture. We know it takes time for 2 horses to get acquainted but this was too extreme so I came to Chewy looking for something natural to calm her down. I ordered Via Calm and started her on it immediately. It made a huge difference in just a day. In fact, I dropped the dose down to only once a day. She has come to really love the sweet guy, grazes next to him, shares the paddock area now and all is peaceful. I highly recommend this product. No medication side effects and safe to use as directed. Also, she did not hesitate to eat it mixed in with her moistened pellets. Excellent product!

I have a spirited Saddlebred Gelding.. He’s on edge every time you take him out alone or keep him in the barn alone .. I use Via Calm in his daily feed and it has noticeably taken the edge off of him. I bought a gaited gelding that appears to have been abused.. He’s very mannerly and respectful WHEN you get ahold of him..He’s very hard to catch. He stiffens if you go to pet him like he’s afraid .. I’ve had him for 7 months with little progress on catching him or getting him comfortable with touching. I decided to try Via Calm a week ago .. I’ve noticed a big difference .. Today I stood in the opposite end of his stall ignoring him and in no time he walked over to me .. He’s a lot less flinchy and stiff when you go to pet him or reach for his halter and I like that it doesn’t make them groggy .. I have recommended this product to others and they have had good results as well ... Great Product and good price.
