Every dog is different and for difficult cases of separation anxiety, we recommend speaking to an accredited dog trainer or behaviourist. Dog trainers and behaviourists recommend to prepare your absence by giving your dog plenty of exercise before, and plenty of distraction during your time away. 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. The ADAPTIL ® Diffuser will be fully functioning within 24 hours of plugging in. The effect on the dog will depend on the nature, extent and duration of the problem for which ADAPTIL ® is used. 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.

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. Some of the core types of pheromones naturally secreted by cats and dogs include sex pheromones, alarm pheromones to indicate danger, food trail pheromones, and calming pheromones, such as those generated by a queen or dam for her litter.

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.

If you must be away for a longer time, like part of a day, we recommend to plug in ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser to release “appeasing messages” that will help your dog stay calm when leaving dog home alone. Canine anxiety is more common than you’d think, with most dogs experiencing it at least once in life.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. 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.

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):

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. ADAPTIL Calm helps dogs feel calm and avoid signs of stress such as vocalization, destruction and panting during stressful situations like staying home alone or fireworks.

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.

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. 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.
