For intensive preparation for new or stressful situations (e.g. fireworks), it is recommended to begin using the diffuser 2 weeks before the event.

Do not cover the diffuser and ensure that no furniture is places over or in front of it, as there is a risk that the diffuser could leave marks, and the pheromone will not be effectively distributed throughout the room. If necessary the ADAPTIL Diffuser can be refilled up to 5 times, before the diffuser itself needs to be replaced.The natural “Dog Appeasing Pheromone” (D.A.P) is normally produced by nursing female dogs, helping their puppies to feel safe and secure. The imitation synthetic pheromone in this refill for the ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser helps dogs of any age to feel calm in new situations or with new people. The diffuser releases the comforting pheromone in the local environment and should be plugged into the room where the dog spends most of it's time, perfect for helping your dog feel confident and supported in their environment. The beneficial effect of dog appeasing pheromone in ADAPTIL products has been shown in studies published in peer reviewed scientific journals or presented at international conferences. When using the diffuser in a new environment for your dog, turn on the diffuser 24 hours before introducing your dog to the new place. Continue use for at least 4 weeks.

In most cases dogs showing noise fears can usually be helped by providing Adaptil support and following a few simple steps.

ADAPTIL is not a veterinary medicine. If there are signs of disease consult your veterinary surgeon. Another study** has shown ADAPTIL Calm can reduce destruction and panting by 100%, restlessness by 83% and hiding by 67% for dogs stressed during fireworks. In the wild, puppies and adult dogs often live in groups and exchange natural messages released into the air -pheromones. These appeasing messages are emitted by mother dogs during lactation and from the ears of adult dogs. We at ADAPTIL are dedicated to helping people resolve these problems and provide as much advice as possible before recommending a qualified behaviourist, or additional environmental changes which may be needed alongside the pheromones.
