Calming Aids for Dogs

For those that are worrying about their dogs behaviour in stressful situations then worry no more. Adaptil is a synthetic copy of the natural canine appeasing pheromone (naturally released by all lactating mammals to comfort and reassure their offspring) which is proven to help support dogs in a range of stressful situation. It is a canine specific, odourless, non-sedative, non-systemic treatment and can be used alongside all other types of medication.

 

Calming aids such as Adaptil (DAP) has been used by behaviourists, veterinary experts and welfare charities for the last 10 years. It has been shown to help puppies settle into new homes and have positive effect on puppy socialisation.

By fitting and Adaptil collar to puppies from 6-16 weeks you can help develop its confidence and help them develop into a well-behaved adult dog. DAP also significantly reduces the likelihood of anxiety related conditions developing in later life.

For adult dogs Adaptil has been shown to help them cope in kennels, during rehoming and in a range of other stressful situations such as fireworks, thunderstorm and travelling in a car.

How Does It Work?

Adaptil is available in three easy to use formulations

• The Adaptil Diffuser is a discrete plug-in which bathes the home in a synthetic copy of the 'canine appeasing pheromone', a natural product proven to comfort both puppies and adult dogs.
• Adaptil Spray can be sprayed directly on bedding, inside crates, indoor kennels, or in the car. It is a convenient formulation for intermittent use.
• When the Adaptil Collar is in snug contact with the dog's skin, the dog's body temperature warms the collar and encourages the diffusion of pheromones into the local environment
