"I wanted to update you on Scooter's barking issue. I ordered the EOs you suggested and had them sent to my daughter....They have done the trick! He's so much more mellow, and their younger dog has once again started carrying his toys around with him and is much happier too. He was quite anxious before and we didn't realize just how much the barking (and the resulting frustration from the humans) was affecting him." ---Kathi
