Adaptil provides a copy of the appeasing pheromone that mother dogs release, a signal your dog responds to but you cannot give yourself. It helps dogs feel reassured and relaxed in everyday stressful situations, and is a support for training rather than a sedative.
Which format
- Calm Diffuser Set & Refill — plugs into the room your dog spends most time in, for noise, time home alone or a new home.
- Calm Collar — worn by the dog, so the pheromone goes wherever the dog goes.
- Junior/Puppy Collar — sized for puppies while they settle in.
- Transport Spray — for the car or carrier before a trip or a vet visit.
If your dog's anxiety is severe or starts suddenly, talk to your vet first.
The right Adaptil format depends on where your dog gets stressed. The Calm Diffuser works in one room, covering up to about 70 square metres, so it suits noise fears, time home alone or settling into a new house. The Calm Collar goes wherever the dog goes, which makes it the better choice for walks, visitors and puppy classes. The Transport Spray is for short occasions such as a car trip or a vet visit. Owners often combine a diffuser at home with a collar for outings. Once a diffuser is set up you only need to buy the 48ml refill, which is sold on its own as well as in the diffuser set.
