do you give dogs the wafers right before the event (like car trip) or do they take a while to kick in? the instructions don't really say

You need to give it to them at least 30 min. before a car ride so it can relax them and get into their system.

They do take a bit to kick in, if your going on a trip I would give them about 15 to 30 minutes ahead of time.

I don't know the answer to your question but I have an extremely hyper dog and I have been using this product for years. He looks forward to them and they do work without making him dopey or groggy. They just take that "edge" off.

About half an hour before the trip would be best. I use these for thunderstorms and give them to my dog as soon as it looks as if it might storm. Once the storm hits, my dog is too nervous to eat anything - including these. When I give them to her in advance, she loves these biscuits. They make her calmer without being drugged. I highly recommend these.

It takes a few minutes, but you don't have to stand around doing nothing. I use the warm up time to mix up the batter. The waffle maker beeps when it's warmed up. I love this waffle maker and Carbons mix.

As others wrote, these are made with various herbs. My dog is terrified of thunder and fireworks, and these work well to calm her down. We can anticipate fireworks on July 4, and can often tell when a thunderstorm approaches, so we will give these to our dog about 20-30 minutes before we expect the noises. They work best when given before the fact, but can also be given after the dog is already upset. 3 of these work well for our 55 pound collie when given ahead of time. 4 are needed when treating after she becomes fearful.

My dogs arwMy dog like yours are tiny.For the first few days, until their systems get used to it, it REALLY works. What you want to do is only give them half. After that, it lasts about 6 hours. I like this product and so do they. I also buy the joint & hip, not just for the obvious reason, the ingredients help to calm as well.

Hi Jerica, yes I have been doing this for over 2 months...depending on the dog you have.. I give my 2 hot dogs, cut them in small round pieces..not recommended to be injected directly to dog...

I have an 80 pound greyhound. I give him half at a time. He finishes it within a minute or two. He does love them!

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

It depends on how long you cook them. It took me a while to discover how much batter to put in the machine. Be sure your waffle maker is really hot before you start.

My dogs will grind them to nubs. I don't pitch them until I'm worried they'll get choked on.

Once a day (atleast, twice is better) 30 minutes before or after food/drink. I have a big aussie and use just a drop for each side (total of 4 drops) and I use the finger cap style brush to rub the gel. You can see the difference in few days. Good luck.

I have 3 mini doxies, and one of them is too small to get it in her mouth. I cut the small end off all of them and let my little one have it. The other two keep the bigger ones. I put a little cashew butter in them, and it keeps the dogs busy for awhile.

I've noticed that they are firmer, yes, but my dog has no trouble chewing them up. Like the one previous answer, we too put just a small amount in a jar with a lid and open the bag only when the jar is empty. I have noticed that the treats will dry out if left open to the air for awhile. Because of my dog's food allergies, they are the only treat he can digest on the market right now so as long as he eats them, I have no complaints. He loves them.

This is like a waffle maker. I've not tried any of the mix packages but the recipe book that comes with has a ton of great recipes. My dogs love it!! You can crisp or harden the cookies after baking by placing them in a low temp oven.

No, I insert dogs and set on #5, when done, change dogs end to end and cook again. This time you can hear the sizzle and are brown in areas, taste as if they were grilled. I love the taste so it is worth the effort. I also put in microwave to remove the chill before putting into the toaster. My husband loves the taste also. Hope this has helped you.

I , also, called the toll-free # w/ same results as other caller(s). My dogs have never had an issue w/ these specific treats & one of them has really bad digestive issues...I just do't give him any of the "red" coloured snacks, as these seem to cause a lot of gas/bloating= could be the red food coloring used? Great question!

I put lots of treats, almost until they spill out. I demonstrated by knocking it over a time or two. Didn't take much after that.

Addendum to my first answer =- Frozen Dogs take longer than 10 minutes, as suggested by other respondents.- Do not use any oils or lubricant on the rollers; totally unnecessary. In fact, the only time we used olive oil as an additive, the dogs would not turn, and we had to remove the dogs, turn off the temperature selectors, and completely wipe down and clean all the rollers before we could proceed with cooking the dogs.This has been the only time we have encountered any problems with cooking dogs or sausage on this machine.Once again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!
