After 6 years of trying, finally found a dog food that works for my Golden's digestion! It's so easy to prepare too - just add warm water and let it soften up for a few minutes! My dog LOVES it!

Alissa A.
These are my dog's favorite treats. They don't seem to cause weight gain like some other treats do and a little goes a long way. She absolutely loves her treats, and has actually turned down other treats and stood there and waited for me to give her what she really really wants.

Dillon W.
Ever since Peach, my Boston Terrier, started on Get Joy's Calming Chews, there's been a noticeable shift in her behavior. No more pacing or anxious whining; now she's as serene as can be, even in situations that used to stress her out. It's easy to give to her (she loves the taste!), and it's brought a peaceful change to our lives.
