Adaptil 30 Day Starter Kit Calming Diffuser for Dogs

My vet recommended I try this product for my hyperactive and anxious 8 month old pup and it took a little while to work. It only worked a little, but that could be b/c the room it’s in is very big and open. But I knew it worked even just a little b/c once it ran out my pup was more hyper again. She is also on puppy anti anxiety meds which help keep her calm but the adaptil aided the meds. HOWEVER, I am disappointed in how long the one bottle lasted; it says it lasts 30 days but it only lasted me about 16-18 days. So I think it’s be nice if customers were offered a discount for having to buy it more often since it doesn’t last as long as it is advertised.

My dog barks alot and is scared of loud noises; ie: thunder, fireworks, etc. I tried this product on the advice of a friend who is using for her Yorkie and said she seems "calmer". So far, no noticeable change in mine after 2 weeks. Since I also ordered the refill, I will try for 60 days and if there is no difference in his behavior, will not order anymore.

We can only speak for our dog, but over the last month, we have seen her become more aggressive. We don't know for certain that the pheromone is the reason, but nothing else has changed at home, and we have decided not to pursue this product any longer.

My girl is showing signs of early dementia and we were having so much problems sleeping at night. We are finally back to the bedroom after sleeping (of what little sleep we managed) on the couch for 2 months. I highly recommend this!

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 am sorry but I am disappointed that this is not calming the puppy much but he is a very overactive Beagle but I guess worth a try.

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 :-)

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.

It seems to be working for both of my dogs. So glad that I was able to find something to calm them while we are gone from home.
