Adaptil 30 Day Starter Kit Calming Diffuser for Dogs

This is the second time I have purchased this diffuser. Both times were for senior male dogs that had lost their littermate they had lived with their entire life. It calmed Joe, our 12 year old Golden Retriever, when Daisy, his littermate died from cancer. We were able to leave him peacefully sleeping when we had to go out. It also calmed him during thunderstorms and fireworks. Just a couple of weeks ago, our beloved lab Gracie, died from cancer at the age of 9 1/2. Her brother, Gunner, had never been separated from her for more than an hour in their lifetimes. I immediately ordered another diffuser and within 48 hours, Gunner was more relaxed and comfortable, anxiety gone. I have This is the second time I have purchased this diffuser.

Have this diffuser plugged in for 2 weeks . Bought 3 refills. No change in my 8 month old puppy. Still has separation anxiety. Tried all the training tips. Had to take him to my vet.

I have a very anxious, strung-out 16 year old terrier. She has recently decided that nighttime is when she needs to peruse about my bedroom. I was (and still am) desperate to find something to chill her out. The description says the smell of this is not detectable by humans, only to animals. I will admit that I typically have a super-sniffer but this stuff stinks. It smells like elementary school vomit in the hallway after the janitor has come by & sprinkled that pink stuff on it. If I had seen an improvement in my senior girl’s behavior, I could have dug deep & tolerated this smell. Sadly I don’t think it has made any difference in her anxiety.

I was surprised the package only contains the diffuser and one jar of Adaptil. I was about to ask customer service if my refill was accidentally not included in the shipment but then I looked at the packaging carefully. It clearly shows what I got and labels the jar a refill. I always think of a refill as something that comes after the first one is used up, so I’d been expecting an original jar of Adaptil AND a refill jar in the starter package. As to how it works, too soon to tell. And too soon to tell if I’ll have to order a refill :-)

We've had it plugged in for about 10 days as of this writing and unfortunately has not had the positive effect we had hoped for. Specifically, we are looking to calm our dog so she does not constantly focus on our cat. She won't let the cat out of her sight and when the cat cautiously walks past our dog, the dog jumps at the cat.

My 5 year old was experiencing anxiety through the evenings, making up between 2 and 4 am. It continued through weeks of consecutive nights. My consoling him, caressing him, etc, wasn’t working. I ordered this product, after consulting with my vet, and it works! We all are back to getting our beauty sleep and a very happy pack!

Package arrived in perfect condition. It's easy to use. We just adopted a dog who has serious separation anxiety. She's never been left home alone. Purchased this hoping it would help calm her. (We also bought baby cameras and keep an eye on her, increasing the time home alone by 5 minutes at a time.) This week was the first week that she's doing really well. She doesn't whine or pace and goes right to sleep. Unfortunately the diffuser has been empty for the week. I don't want to say that she's done better without it. There could be other variables that I'm missing. But, she is doing better without it.

My rescued dog has generalized anxiety and takes sertraline to help her function better (not being scared of the backyard and not reacting to other dogs). But she can still be high-strung at home. It's as though she doesn't trust that I love her and harasses me for attention especially when I am sitting on the couch. Her trainer recommended Adaptil and I have noticed that my dog has become more chill. When a stranger comes over, she initially barks and jumps (out of excitement, not aggression) but she is now able to calm down pretty quickly. She's also able to sit on the couch with me without harassing me.

Does not seem to help calm my dog at all! I will not be buying this again so I will not be recommending it to anyone.

Great product. Easy to put together and plug rotates to remain upright no matter the direction of the wall outlet. Did not work for my pet but it may work for yours.
