ADAPTIL Calm Transport Spray, helps dog cope with travelling and other stress/anxiety related short term challenges - 60ml

Product Information

Two studies have found positive effects of Adaptil collars on recently adopted puppies. The first 12 fitted collars to purebred puppies and found a benefit only in Gundogs (mainly Labrador retrievers, Weimeraners and Spaniels). Those receiving Adaptil cried for a median of three nights versus nine for the gundogs in the placebo group. 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.

My view: the results could have been different if dogs who suffer from separation anxiety were used instead. However, separation anxiety is usually severe by the time a vet is consulted, so I am not surprised that a mild treatment like DAP had no measurable effect. Of course, it is harmless to try as long as it’s not used instead of a more effective remedy. Adaptil For Barking If you find that you are receiving your deliveries too often, or not often enough, you can alter the frequency of your easy-repeat deliveries. The difference that this spray has made for her anxiety has been incredible. When it starts to storm or fireworks start going off, I spray 8-10 squirts of this onto a bandana for her to wear. In as little as 5-10 minutes she is calmer, and the effects for her last for hours. I sometimes have to re-spray the bandana, but usually just one application is enough to get us through the anxiety causing event. Before we started using the spray she would be inconsolable during these times- hiding, intense shaking, and panting that was similar to hyperventilation. Now after consistently using the spray during stressful events, she no longer hides, stays lying down by us the entire time, and will sometimes even fall asleep! She also seems to associate the bandana with feeling better because as soon as she hears a loud boom she will go running to wait by where I keep it and is excited to put it on. You’ll see that different studies used different products. I’ll try to make this clear as I go. Problems With The Evidence
