Why gut-first
Calm starts in the belly.
A calmer dog often starts in the belly — the gut-brain axis links digestion to mood and behavior. Calm is built on a gut-first foundation: every Get Joy meal builds it with live Belly Biotics™, and Calming Chews add non-sedating support on top. Joy starts from within.

We give one before road trips and Seamus finally relaxes in the back seat. Love that it's non-drowsy.

Have a Question?
Will it calm my dog? What's in it? We're always around to lend a helping paw.
Supplements help provide targeted support where your dog needs it most — whether that's digestion, joints, skin & coat, calming support, or everyday wellness alongside a balanced diet.
Get Joy meals already build in gut support through Belly Biotics™, so supplements are a way to layer in focused help for specific goals. If your dog has a specific health concern or takes medication, check with your veterinarian before adding a new supplement.
Yes. Our supplements are made with clinically backed functional ingredients and are formulated to be safe for dogs of all ages and breeds. Each blend provides targeted daily support:
- Mobility: Glucosamine, MSM, and Green-Lipped Mussel to support healthy joints and mobility.
- Calm: L-theanine, Passion Flower, and Valerian Root to promote relaxation and stress support.
- Digestion: L-Glutamine, probiotics, and kelp to support gut health and healthy digestion.
As always, check with your veterinarian if your dog has specific medical conditions or dietary sensitivities.
Yes. The digestive system plays a central role in many areas of a dog's health. A balanced gut helps the body:
- Absorb nutrients more efficiently
- Support immune function
- Maintain healthy inflammation levels
- Produce steady energy
- Maintain healthy skin and coat
Because so much of the immune system is connected to the gut, improving digestive balance can support overall wellness from the inside out. This is the heart of Get Joy's gut-first approach.
Why gut health is whole-body health → · Shop Freeze-Dried Raw →
Yes. Our supplements are designed to work together as part of a balanced daily wellness routine. Many dogs benefit from targeted support across multiple areas like digestion, calming, skin & coat, or mobility.
If your dog has specific health concerns or takes medications, we recommend checking with your veterinarian before adding new supplements.
Every dog is different, but most pet parents notice benefits within a few weeks (around 30 days) of consistent daily use.
Some support areas — like digestion or calming — may show results sooner, while mobility and joint support can take longer to build over time. Consistency is key for the best results.
Customers said these chews work well for calming anxious dogs, with many noting "it truly does work." Dogs generally love the taste and soft texture. However, effectiveness varies - some saw no calming effect, and a few dogs refused to eat them. Results appear after 2-3 weeks of consistent use. Price is considered high for larger dogs requiring multiple chews daily.

My dog loves these Get Joy Digestion Chews! He thinks they’re treats, and I love that they help with his gut health. I’ve noticed less gas and more consistent digestion since starting them. The ingredients seem high quality, and I like that they’re made in the USA. Easy to give daily and vet recommended — definitely worth it!
J
Everything about the quality of these chews are fine. I think the ingredients are very natural in that the supplementation comes from natural sources. However, my dogs are very athletic and need much more glucosamine than these provide, so I was a bit disappointed that each chew only contains 100 mg of it. According to my dogs' weight, they need more like 600-800mg per day. However, they still like the flavor of these though so I'll just give these to them occasionally as a training reward or something.
E
These have been a great supplement for my dog, who has hip and joint issues. He loves the flavor and I like the ingredients. We have a big dog so I wish the bag was a bit better, but I’m really happy with these so far.
L
noticed some difference with two on a big dog. Thanks
F
Bought these because I was hoping to find something to calm my dog down while grooming. These ended up coming the same day that we had a thunderstorm so I figured it was a great time to see if they calmed her down a little.... They really did not. But it could just be that her fear of the thunder took over. I don't notice too much of a difference giving these to her, so now I give as a bed time treat. If anything it will help her sleep better. Also, I found one not pre-cut treat in the bag that just made me laugh.
M
My two corgis and akita are can be picky eaters, but they all loved the taste of these chews. It’s a relief to find a treat that not only they enjoy but also provides complete dog wellness beyond just their daily meals. I don’t know if it really made their breath smell better, as the bag claims, but it certainly did not make their breath smell any worse. (lol, which can sometimes happen with some of their favorite treats that smell stinky to my human nose.)They may seem a little expensive, but considering the 9.5oz resealable bag contains 90 chews packed with healthy, natural ingredients and everything is made and packed in the USA, $.50 per chew is a good price for the value. I appreciate that they are NASC certified, because health products for animals are not as rigorously regulated as those for humans, so it’s nice to know they are approved by an outside authority. What I like most is that these treats contain good ingredients like omega-3 algae, ginger extract, and pre, pro, and postbiotics, without any filler.

These chews are great for anxious pups. As I’m integrating my new my adopted pup into our home, this has helped with stress for him a a he acclimate s to his new home. They seem to enjoy the flavor. Definitely recommend. 8/10
R
I love that this contains green lipped mussels. Instead of me having to sprinkle the mussels powder on my dogs' food, I can give them this! I can smell the mussels when I open the bag. My dogs are happily eating this healthy treat. Highly recommend. Thanks so much and many blessings your way!
R
I’m happy my pup enjoys these treats for joints bones and ligaments. This is made with green lipped mussels.
C
These chews are indeed chewy and smell like herbal chicken. My dog had no problem swallowing these little chews whole. He kept them down so they seemed like they were okay for his stomach! Since my dog is still in the puppy stage, we continuously try to find calming chews or biscuits or sticks for him to take before bed.The various ingredients are all good for calming and tiring people and apparently dogs. My dog took about 15 minutes to calm down before falling asleep. So so far they seem to work.
C
🍃Healthy chewy treats that support digestive health. My dogs readily took to them. They are dense morsels with healthy ingredients to help with keeping them regular. So far, so good! 👍👍

There are a few double-blind peer reviewed scientifically backed studies to support specifically green-lipped muscle (PCSO-524) for dogs. I don’t know if there are any canine MSM studies, but there are some medical studies showing MSM decreasing symptoms of osteoarthritis in humans. There are mixed findings on the efficacy of glucosamine and chondroiton sulfate in humans, a few studies suggesting low efficacy for dogs, but overall the green-lipped muscle, MSM, glucosamine, and chobdroiton have the most scientific basis as far as I have found in research. Disappointingly, the amount of the aforementioned ingredients per chew, but more importantly, per dollar, is far lower in these than in comparable supplements. See image for ingredient comparison, although note, the ‘serving size’ the measurements are based on vary between brands. This supplement is the middle supplement package.
B
I love this one. They use really good ingredients and have a high amount of probiotics per serving as well as a good deal of variety too. They smell nice and my dog loves it (my cat too apparently). I’m also a big fan of the fact that it’s made in the USA and the packaging has no grammatical errors! Price is average but it’s well worth it to help with your pet’s digestion. I’d definitely get it again in the future.5/5
B
This product is awesome. It truly does work for my furbabies.
V
These are great calming chews seem to work well.
T
could not get them to eat the chews. sorry
C
Both of my dogs found the calming chews tasty and worked as a great treat for them too. Helped ease their anxiety when we're gone during the day. One of their favorite moments besides us coming home is having these for a treat. Giving 4 stars as I'd like to just give each dog only one treat. Wonder if they could make a higher dosage within each chew, feel bad for our small dog only getting 1 chew while the large dog gets 3.
M
-This came packaged nicely-Great value for the money-90 chewies for my fur babiesAll three of my fur babies seem love it and it’s working well with them!Since they are enjoying them, waging their tails in excitement for them, I know they use taste great in their bellies!!!!
A
My dogs a fan! I love giving him treats that actually help support his body in some way. The fact that this supports his gut AND helps give him fresher breathe is a total winner for me. I also do think his bathroom breaks have also been a little more solid and easy to clean up after. My dog loves these and would gladly eat the whole bag if I let him- so it’s definitely not a chore to get him to take them lol.
R
Dog doesn't seem to love them at first. She'll take them, but then spit them out and kind of sniff at them a few times before finally eating it. They're soft chewables and easy for her to chew though
D
These have become part of my dog’s routine because they feel like a low-stress, effective way to support digestion.
B
they come across more like a treat than a supplement, which makes daily use easy
C
Super simple supplement to use that both of my dogs look forward to getting each day! They're both getting a little bit older now so the mobility chews are perfect in maintaining their ease in getting around the house, the yard or park. I use it either as a separate treat or feed it in the bowl during meal time.
M
Dogs were imitatly trying to figure out what it was! I don't know how they knew it was for them but I guess it smells good lol! Apon looking at the ingredients nothing looks bad for them so I followed the easy to read directions and gave them theirs. The bag is resealable which is great bought one before from another brand that didn't have that! The treats are soft and are of good quality! My older dog who doesn't have front teeth was able to chew these easily.
J
I find that feeding this to stimulate my dog's digestion in the morning before his meal really helps his bowel movement.
