The Adaptil Collar is a pheromone collar designed to help reduce stress and anxious behaviour in dogs in challenging situations, particularly dogs that live outside. Adaptil, formally known as DAP, is a synthetic copy of the natural canine appeasing pheromome proven to help support dogs in a range of stressful situations. Adaptil is canine specific, odourless, non-sedative, non-systemic and can be used alongside all other types of medication. The efficacy of Adaptil has been demonstrated in 18 studies published in scientific journals and at veterinary conferences around the world. When the Adaptil collar is in snug contact with the dog's skin, the dog's body temperature warms the collar and encourages the diffusion of pheromones into the local environment. It is vital the Adaptil Collar is in close contact with the dog's skin at all times. Adaptil is shown to help puppies settle in a new home and to have significant positive effects on puppy socialisation. Fitting a DAP collar to puppies from 6-16 weeks helps puppies develop into confident, well-behaved adult dogs and significantly reduces the likelihood of anxiety-related conditions developing in later life. Adaptil has also been shown to help dogs cope in kennels, during rehoming and in a range of other stressful situations such as during fireworks exposure and car travel.
