Product Information

There are many things about our modern lifestyle that conflict with our pets’ natural and instinctive needs. In those situations, Dr. Tynes says that dog and cat pheromones can help to provide a sense of safety and well-being. The two core names in plug-in diffuser pheromones for dogs and cats are Adaptil (formerly known as DAP, or Dog Appeasing Pheromone) and Feliway (or Felifriend, a spray-bottle alternative) for cats. Both of these are produced by CEVA Animal Health, and as well as diffusers, sprays are also available, and for dogs, a pheromone-releasing collar too. Owners of dogs fulfilling the selection criteria and who agreed to test a calming diffuser or collar received instructions about how to use it. On days 0, 7, 15, 30, 45, and 60 (and 75 and 90 with the collars), the owners completed questionnaires to assess the behavior, sources of fear, and stress signs that they observed in their dogs. In cats, calming pheromones are also useful for making them feel safe and secure, either when alone or in the presence of other cats. “Conflict between cats is very concerning because once friction has escalated, those relationships are not easily repaired,” Dr. Tynes says. “Using Feliway [Multicat] when adopting an additional cat may help the relationship begin well.” Dog and Cat Pheromones Aren't a Magical Solution While animal pheromones are naturally occurring, their chemical structures are well understood by the scientific community, which has led to the ability to synthetically produce synthesised artificial pheromone compounds to mimic the action of naturally occurring pheromones. Plug-in diffusers

What is a calming diffuser for dogs? A calming diffuser is a device that releases a synthetic version of the ‘dog appeasing pheromone’ (DAP), which mimics the pheromones produced by mother dogs to soothe and comfort their puppies. The goal is to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm in dogs. Are there alternatives to calming diffusers? Yes, alternatives to calming diffusers include calming sprays, collars, treats, and even certain types of music. Some pet owners also find that behavioral training, regular exercise, and maintaining a stable routine can help manage their dog’s stress and anxiety. Always consult with a vet or a dog behaviorist for the best approach for your pet. Dog Appeasing Pheromonediluted in paraffin oil.

It is 100% safe and drug-free and offers a great alternative to other calming collars without the risk of skin irritation. Are there side effects to using a calming diffuser? Calming diffusers are generally safe and side effects are rare. However, some dogs might initially show signs of discomfort such as sneezing due to a new scent in the environment. If your pet shows signs of an allergic reaction, like excessive scratching or difficulty breathing, discontinue use and consult your vet. The rapid onset of action observed (significant differences in scores as of day seven—not assessed at earlier time point) is typical of the pheromone mode of action, which is via specific receptors in the vomeronasal organ that are connected with the amygdala and other parts of the limbic system [ 4]. This observation is consistent with other studies in which a behavioral improvement has been seen in a few days [ 8, 11, 12, 13]. Pet owners reported significant improvement of signs of stress starting at day 15 of a 90-day study³

Most dogs can benefit from calming diffusers, especially those suffering from separation anxiety, noise phobias (like thunderstorms or fireworks), or stress due to changes in environment. However, the effectiveness can vary from dog to dog and it’s not a cure-all for every type of anxiety or behavioral problem. Indeed, scoring very specific signs of stress during a certain time seems to be a more objective way to evaluate reactions to stress than when evaluating general behaviors. When evaluating the latter, several parameters can skew the scoring, including how the owner is perceiving this behavior and how it impacts its quality of life. It is also more subject to interpretation, with terms like “often” or “excessively” in the questionnaire. Finally, the fact that the difference in improvement between groups tended to be greater when evaluating the general behaviors and sources of fear than when evaluating the signs of stress is also in favor of a difference in objectivity. Indeed, it has to be noted that the reference products used in these studies, which have been on the market for quite some time, were well known and advertised, while the tested products were new. This difference may have influenced the owner in perceiving an improvement in the general behaviors or sources of fear with the reference products. However, when assessing more objective signs of stress, such an apparent difference between the reference and tested products was not observed. The difference in reputation between products could also explain the slight (but not significant) difference in the perceived effectiveness of the products by owners.
