The Adaptil Collar helps to alleviate or prevent fear and stress-related behaviours in dogs Ideal for: Puppy socialization Travelling (for dogs travelling often or for long journeys and/or going to new destinations such as on holiday, moving home etc) Crating/kenneling/boarding Training Loud noises (thunderstorms or fireworks), especially for dogs living mostly outdoors and who cannot be kept home during such events Staying home alone (especially for outdoor dogs) How does the Adaptil Collar work? The Adaptil Collar is easy to use and convenient as it releases dog appeasing pheromone constantly (even when the dog is outside) The dog’s body temperature and close contact warm the collar and encourage the diffusion of pheromones into the local environment The appeasing pheromone is released almost immediately The collar must be in close contact with the dog’s skin at all times The Adaptil Collar is proven to work on all breeds of dog, as long as it is fitted correctly The collar will not work when it is wet but diffuses again as soon as it is dry Each collar lasts up to 4 weeks and can be replaced as required What is an Appeasing Pheromone? Lactating bitches produce an appeasing pheromone naturally which comforts their puppies and makes them feel safe and secure. This perception of the appeasing pheromone remains throughout a dog's life The Adaptil Collar cleverly draws upon this idea and provides a synthetic copy of this dog-appeasing pheromone to provide a fantastic solution to canine fear and stress Designed to comfort dogs in stressful situations and can also help in behavioural therapy and training Two sizes of adjustable collars are available: Puppy/small dogs (fits neck up to 37.5cm) Medium/large dogs (fits neck up to 62.5cm) Note Puppies: as the puppy grows, it’s important to regularly adjust the fit of the collar to make sure it’s not too tight Do not use the collar on dogs with extensive skin lesions Do not open the protective pouch until the product is ready for use If your dog wears another collar, it is important to ensure the Adaptil Collar stays in contact with the skin Please note the Adaptil collar cannot be used to attach a leash
