Mother dogs communicate with their puppies using natural “comforting messages” released from the mammary zone.  These “comforting messages“ are scientifically called Dog Appeasing Pheromones. They are odourless and are only perceived by dogs.  They provide a strong signal of comfort and security to dogs of all ages.

Adaptil Calm releases “comforting messages” to help dogs feel reassured and relaxed in all challenging situations.

How Fast Will I See Results?

Many dog owners start to see results within the first 7 days.  However, every dog is unique. Depending on how long the signs have been present and how severe the signs may be, it may take longer to see an improvement.

We recommend using Adaptil Calm On The Go Dog Collars for at least 1 month.

How Long Should I Use it?

Most dogs will benefit from a permanent use of the collar to create a reassuring environment at home and even outdoors. The minimum recommended duration is one month.

When to Use It?

• To comfort your dog constantly at home and outdoors
• If your dog is scared of loud noises like fireworks or thunderstorms
• If your dog has issues when staying in a kennel (barking, whining, pacing…)
• If your dog shows signs of fear when on walks
• If your dog has issues with training

Where To Use?

The collar should be around your dog’s neck at all times (except during shampooing)

When Not To Use?

Dog behaviour is often very complex. Adaptil is not recommended for cases of hyperactivity or aggression.  In some cases, additional medical treatment and/or environmental modifications may be required and advice should be sought from your veterinarian or qualified animal behaviourist.  If there are signs of disease, consult your veterinarian.

• If your dog’s issues are not related to stress, Adaptil will not help.
• If your dog’s issues are due to a lack of proper training (hyperactivity, over-excitement), Adaptil will not help.
• If your dog’s issues are due to a lack of stimulation in the environment, Adaptil will not help.
• If your dog is soiling the house due to lack of toilet training, or due to medical reasons, Adaptil will not help.  It is important to consult a veterinarian to rule out potential medical issues.
• Adaptil will not help and should never be used in cases of aggression towards humans or other dogs. In such situations, we strongly recommend consulting your veterinarian or a qualified behaviourist.

Intermittent Use?

Don’t remove the collar, except for shampooing.

Leave the collar on 24 hours a day. That’s how efficacy is proven in clinical trials with continuous use of the collar (24 hours a day) allowing the dog to constantly perceive the “comforting messages”.

How To Use?

• Place the collar snugly on your dog’s neck to ensure proper contact
• Place a finger in the plastic loop situated on the inside of the collar close to the buckle
• Using this loop pull to uncoil the collar
• Feed the end through the buckle
• Place over your dog’s head
• Tighten the collar to fit snugly with your dog’s skin
• You should be able to place no more than 2 fingers between collar and dog’s skin
• Ensure the collar is secure
• Cut off the excess portion of the collar
• When the collar comes in contact with the skin, your dog’s body temperature warms the collar causing the diffusion of “comforting messages” into the local environment
• The collar should remain on your dog at all times (except when using shampoo)

How Not To Use?

• Do not put another collar or a bandana between the Adaptil Clam Collar and your dog’s skin.  This would block the contact and therefore the release of “comforting messages”
• Do not put the collar in contact with shampoo or chlorinated water (in swimming pools). If you dog swims in the sea or a lake occasionally with the collar, it’s not a problem.
• Do not fix a lead on the collar, it would not resist the tension and therefore fall off

How Fast Will It Work?
