Product Information

Calming Caps. Dog calming caps offer a slight variation on the classic compression garment – these head caps are designed to fit snuggly around your dog’s head and ears, providing gentle compression while also dampening sounds that can trigger reactive dogs. After using pheromones for a long time, will my pet develop a resistance to the product and will it eventually stop working?

We’ll make sure the product is suitable for your pet in their situation and the necessary steps needed are in place alongside the pheromones. We are trained to give you additional advice to try and help in your dog’s situation. Studies on the use of Adaptil have been less conclusive, but this can be at least partially attributed to the difficulty of objectively monitoring things like stress responses and out of character behaviour in dogs. Should I consider using a pheromone diffuser for my own pet? New diffusers may smell slightly for the first 24 hours, just as an electrical heater might when dust has collected on it. Diffusers in a very dusty environment may smell more persistently. Make sure that a dog or cat has not urinated onto the device and that there is no debris on the heating element. If the device is used continuously for long periods of time, we recommend that it is changed every 6 months or every 6 refills. In the wild, puppies and adult dogs often live in groups and exchange natural messages released into the air -pheromones. These appeasing messages are emitted by mother dogs during lactation and from the ears of adult dogs.If you notice any of these signs of stress or anxiety in your dog, have her examined by your vet to rule out medical causes. Once given a clean bill of health, you can chat with your vet about her anxiety and work together toward a solution that may include an Adaptil Diffuser. Adaptil Alternatives for Treating Anxiety

Yes, the pheromones in each product are what we call species-specific; ADAPTIL ® will affect only dogs and the feline facial pheromone will affect only cats.Denenberg and Landsberg. Effects of dog-appeasing pheromones on anxiety and fear in puppies during training and on long-term socialisation. Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association (2008) 233:1874-1882 doi: 10.2460/javma.233.12.1874 We at ADAPTIL are dedicated to helping people resolve these problems and provide as much advice as possible before recommending a qualified behaviourist, or additional environmental changes which may be needed alongside the pheromones. Never punish your dog for any destruction, barking or mess in your absence. This would simply increase their worries and make it more likely to happen again. Just clean it up and act calm. 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.

Feliway for cats was first developed to reduce stress-related territorial behaviour problems, such as aggression and scent marking within the home. However, since the product’s inception in 2001, the product is now recognised as having other applications as well, such as lowering stress levels, and helping to ease the introduction of a new cat into the home. Reiki. This form of alternative healing has been around for a long while, though the results are unproven – especially when it comes to reiki for dogs. The goal is for the practitioner to transfer “life energy” onto a subject and promote healing. The relaxing nature of Reiki may help soothe your pup, but it shouldn’t be used alone when combating anxiety. Compression garments. Compression garments (the most well-known being the Thundershirt) apply gentle, steady pressure to your dog’s body with a snug fit. This can ease anxiety and promote calming. They’re popular with dogs who suffer from storm and travel anxiety. Get a camera: there are many “doggy CCTV” kits that you could buy and you can then watch them while you are out. ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser is clinically proven to reduce the signs of separation-related problems after just one month (when combined with advice from a behaviourist):Calming collars. Like the Adaptil, calming collars use synthetic pheromones to soothe doggos. Instead of dispersing them via a diffuser, they’re concentrated around a thin collar you place on your dog in addition to her usual collar or harness. These seek to calm your pet wherever she goes, indoors or out, making them attractive choices for pup parents on the go. Sometimes calming scents like lavender are used in place of synthetic pheromones, but these appear to be less effective. Another study** has shown ADAPTIL Calm can reduce destruction and panting by 100%, restlessness by 83% and hiding by 67% for dogs stressed during fireworks. CBD. CBD products, including CBD oil, are growing in popularity with canines. Proven effective in combating anxiety in humans, CBD is derived from the cannabis plant, though it won’t get your dog high. Most contain only negligible amounts of THC, and isolated extracts contain none at all. Every dog is different and for difficult cases of separation anxiety, we recommend speaking to an accredited dog trainer or behaviourist.

We will ask you a series of questions to understand more about your pet and the inappropriate behaviours they are displaying. Canine anxiety is more common than you’d think, with most dogs experiencing it at least once in life. 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. Ceva Animal Health cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications of the device.

It is recommended to keep the dog inside during the thunderstorm to make the dog feel safer and unable to escape. Otherwise, ADAPTIL ® Collar can be an alternative. 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. ADAPTIL ® can also be used under the direction of a behaviorist and alongside behavioral therapy to help in the management of clinical behavior problems such as separation anxiety, noise phobia, etc. If you are leaving a dog home alone just a few hours (less than 4 to be precise), we recommend that you use ThunderShirt.
