Lack of routine, long distance travel, family in the house and loud noises such as Christmas crackers or over New Year fireworks can tip them over the edge. Adaptil will naturally help to reassure your pet in these challenging situations and create a more relaxed environment for them. Adaptil Diffuser helps dogs overcome fears and stress, and eases the fear of travel. Plugs into an electric socket (for best results, change diffuser every four weeks), mimicking the natural pheromone produced by lactating females, which promote a sense of well-being and reassurance.
Pheromones are species-specific and have no effect on cats. Dog Appeasing Pheromone Adaptil Diffuser is also odourless to humans. Undesirable behaviours such as excessive whining and barking, and adult destructive chewing, were improved or resolved 85 and 72 per cent respectively, in clinical trials.
Fireworks: Noise fears are very common, affecting up to 80% of dogs in the UK. In most cases dogs showing noise fears can usually be helped by providing Adaptil support and following a few simple steps. This should include building a den, drawing curtains, turning on the TV and most importantly acting normally and ignoring any fearful behaviour.
Rescue / Boarding Kennels: The kennel environment can be stressful for you and your dog. Some dogs may show stress-related behaviour such as pacing or barking. Others may go off their food or develop diarrhoea. Consider fitting an Adaptil Collar before the dog enters the kennel. This has been shown to prevent excessive barking and help dogs adjust more quickly to kennel life.
Travel Fears: There are two aspects to travel problems; motion sickness and travel fear. However, the symptoms of each are very similar and many dogs are believed to suffer from both. Reduce the stress associated with travelling by using an Adaptil Collar or Adaptil Spray. However, in some instances it may also be necessary to treat the motion sickness with medication.
