L-Theanine

    L-Theanine

    Its an animo acid.  Its the main  ingredient ( actually I think the ONLY ingredient ) in a supplement that a vet sells at a behavior clinic that I took Gibby to for fitting of a Thunder Shirt.  They sell it for dogs in a liver base for $40 for about 2 days worth..then a generic brand for half the price. I looked it up and it sounds worth trying.

    The holistic vet that I took Gibby to last year suggested a natural supplement that might have been the exact same thing but I dont' have it written down to see for sure.

    I wondered if anyone ever heard or tried it?

    I use it on abbie. I get it from the health store though, human version. Much much cheaper

    I use it on abbie.

    Have you found that it helped Jewlieee?    I got mine thru Puritan Pride....right now they are having a " buy 0ne get 2 free" thing going...  I got 3 bottles coming for 16.99. They are 100 Mgs and there is a qty of 60 per bottle. I looked around before I ordered them....couldn't find any in the stores.

    Really hoping it helps Gibby relax a bit. He is such a wild and crazy guy!

    Its really hard to say for sure. I think it helps but that could just be me wanting it to work. It takes 60 days of continual use to see any improvement according to my vet so keep that in mind.

    The girl at the behavior clinic said one pill 2 times a day, and it was 100 Mgs.   That is what the one that I ordered is from Puritan Pride also.   That is what I intend to give Gibby when I get them.  I did check into that on the Interent and they kind of said  100 for over 60 lbs
