An Adaptil diffuser can help your dog to deal with new or stressful situations. This can be anything from trips to the vets or a new home environment. Dogs exhibit certain behaviour such as barking, whining, toileting inside and shying away from contact. Whilst a certain amount of apprehension is normal during a stressful environment, extreme anxiety can have a negative effect on your dog. Moving house or a fear of fireworks and thunder can lead to a dog with fearful aggression or anxiety. Adaptil uses a synthetic form of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone, which has a calming affect on dogs. The Dog Appeasing Pheromone is a scent (undetectable to humans) that mimics the pheromone released by mother dogs. How to use the pheromone diffuser for dogs: 1. Plug in the diffuser in the room where your dog spends most of their time. 2. The pheromone will be diffused through the room. 3. Replace the vial with a refill after 4 weeks. Uses: • Settling a dog into a new home • Re-training • Travelling • Trips to the vet • Separation problems • Fears like thunder and fireworks
