Adaptil Spray Appeasing Pheromone Helps Reduce Fear And Stress In Puppies And Adult Dogs
Active Constituent: 15.72 mg/ml Synthetic Analogue of the Canine Appeasing Pheromone
- A synthetic replica of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone that mother dogs emit to puppies to reassure them and reinforce the attachment with their mother
- The pheromone is odourless to people and other animals and can only be perceived by dogs
- Pheromones are detected by the vomeronasal organ, VNO, located in the palate of the mouth of a dog. From this point, receptors relay information to the emotional centres of the brain, which brings about physiological and behavioural changes for the dog
- Detecting and responding to the pheromone is an automatic completely unconscious process that requires no control or previous learning by the dog
- Specifically developed for dogs, is non-sedating and can be used in conjunction with other medication
Uses
- Helps in reassuring dogs and puppies during experiences that could cause fear or stress – for example: car travel, air travel, going to the vet, being home alone, changes in the home, new visitors
- Has a calming effect on adult dogs and puppies
- Assists new pets to be calm, settled and feel secure when settling in with their new family
- Helps to support anxious dogs and prevent fear and stress related behaviours – for example: destructive behaviours, barking, whining, house soiling, licking, chewing, pacing, shaking
- Can be used alone or in combination with Adaptil Diffuser or Collar

- Do not spray directly on your dog or near an animals face
- Do not spray in the car, crate, carrier, indoor kennels or bedding if the dog is inside or using them
