Product Information

Canine anxiety is more common than you’d think, with most dogs experiencing it at least once in life.

To adapt to a new environment or coping with a temporary challenge is potentially stressful for most dogs. In some dogs, mild fears and worries can develop into phobias or stress-related conditions. You may continue using your diffuser. According to the toxicological data on the components of our products, no particular risk is expected following inhalation of the pheromone products when used as recommended. Particularly with pregnant women, the available toxicological data on laboratory animal species show that no teratogenic nor foetotoxic effect can be associated with the use of a ADAPTIL ® Diffuser. However, as a precaution it is not recommended to plug ADAPTIL ® Diffuser into a poorly ventilated room where people spend most of their time, and in particular not in bedrooms. It is recommended to keep the dog indoors during the firework/event. Otherwise ADAPTIL ® Collar can be an efficacious alternative for outdoor dogs.Studies* show ADAPTIL Calm can reduce destruction by 73% and vocalisation by 67% for dogs stressed when left home alone. In this article, we will look at plug-in pheromone diffusers for cats and dogs in more detail, and present an informed assessment of their effectiveness. Read on to learn more! What are pheromones? At least 24 hours before the puppy or dog faces the new surroundings, plug in an ADAPTIL ® Diffuser at floor level in the room where the dog will sleep and spend the most time. The diffuser should be switched on continuously for at least 4 weeks and the refill replaced as required. However, you can’t take them with you everywhere. For example, you may be leaving your dog home alone while at work or popping to the supermarket.

Calming bed. Providing a safe, comfortable place to snuggle up can alleviate your dog’s anxiety, particularly if she struggles with settling at night. Specialized calming dog beds typically feature bolstered sides that help your dog feel secure, along with supportive foam and even heating elements. It can take between two weeks and a month to see an improvement in your pet’s stress levels, and it is also worth noting that some cats and dogs don’t seem to respond to the diffusers at all, and it is possible that your own pet will be among their number. Some dogs and/or some indications will show signs of improvement in less than a week, whereas some will require one month to exhibit visible improvement. In any case, we recommend continued use of ADAPTIL ® for at least one month before assessing its effectiveness. Finally, effectiveness is also dependent on good implementation of environmental and behavioral modifications concurrent to pheromone use and setting proper expectations for the pet owner.Every dog is different and for difficult cases of separation anxiety, we recommend speaking to an accredited dog trainer or behaviourist.

Your dog is, as are all dogs, a highly social animal, feeling better and more confident when you are around. Best Product Advice: Consider using ThunderShirt during short / unscheduled absences, or ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser for longer times away. If you own an anxious cat or a highly-strung dog, the chances are that somebody has probably already suggested to you that you use a plug-in pheromone diffuser to help to chill your pet out, and help them to feel more at ease.

A peer-reviewed report published in the Journal of Veterinarian Medical Science states that during clinical trials of Feliway, urine marking was totally eradicated in 37% of the study’s cats, and greatly reduced in a further 40%. However, the behaviour of the remaining 23% of cats remained unchanged. The beneficial effect of dog appeasing pheromone in ADAPTIL products has been shown in studies published in peer reviewed scientific journals or presented at international conferences. There are a plethora of options for easing canine anxiety, including all-natural and medicated relief. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to canine anxiety, as every dog is unique, and your pup may need more or less intervention than others.
