Vetalogica VitaRapid Tranquil Treats are Australian-made chicken-based chews formulated to help dogs cope with short-term stress. Suits adult dogs of all sizes dealing with situations like thunderstorms, fireworks, vet visits, travel, or changes at home. Fed as needed rather than as a daily supplement.

The recipe pairs chamomile and tryptophan — two of the more evidence-backed calming ingredients — with a Quick Release Technology delivery designed to act faster than a standard baked treat. Chicken is the main protein, which keeps them palatable for fussy dogs, and the treats are made in Australia with no artificial colours or flavours. A useful non-prescription option before escalating to sedatives.

A sensible first step for owners whose dogs get wound up by predictable triggers — the November-to-February storm season, the annual vet check, or a house move. Easy to keep in the cupboard and hand out when needed, without committing to a daily regime.
