Adaptil Calming Travel Dog Spray

I mean I’m sure everyone can tell from the reviews that this product/others like it are hit or miss. I bought both the spray and the diffuser in hopes that it would help my pup relax in her crate while I’m gone or doing work. I should also say that I’ve been doing training to help her enjoy her crate more in general, so it could be the training + a fancy new bed that’s helping her relax and the spray is doing nothing, or vice versa. Anyway, the past 2 days I’ve put her in her crate after spraying. Instead of howling for 30 minutes, yesterday she cried quietly for 4, then napped for an hour. Today, she quietly protested for maybe 2 minutes and now she’s snoozing happily.

No. But I don’t think I’m gonna risk it by not buying the spray again. … more

My new puppy traveled home in a crate for 2 hours without any yelping or whining. I had sprayed a little of the Adaptil on the blanket (though he also had a bully stick!). Not sure which item worked the magic.... maybe both?

This product came recommended by our vet. Stella (Cattle Dog) can be pretty anxious, but on a recent road trip/vacation we sprayed this on her bed to see if it would help. There was no scent, Stella was content the entire ride, and this seemed to help her in a new environment full of other small dogs. No grogginess, no side effects, no sad drugged-up dog - just calm and mellow!

My 14 year old rescue Chihuahua was abused for the first three years of her life, prior to us getting her. She has always been terrified (beyond what is normal) of thunder & rain storms. We've tried meds from our Vet. but they just didn't work. Finally we saw an ad for Adaptil and got it with our normal order from Chewy. It works for her just great. She has a little pink bandana and as soon as we hear the first thunder, I spray it, allow it to dry for a minute in front of a fan, and get it on her. She's much better and has actually fallen asleep during these times. We're so so blessed and so grateful for this product and that Chewy carried it. A MUST TRY if your dog has these issues.

And we live in Florida where it rains daily in summer! Has been a lifesaver, thank you so so much! LOVE CHEWY … more

At first, I was a little weary of this concept. I'd tried other collars before and many other methods to help ease anxiety. But this one actually helped! I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs much calmer. I've started spraying this on blankets and on the car covers and it does wonders! It's worth a shot, there's a lot more expensive stuff out there.

I really like this & believe it does help to calm Archie. I sprayed some on a toy & a towel about 15 minutes before a car ride & he seemed to do really well. Not so much panting & drooling. Thankfully, he did not poop in the car on the way to the vets. He waited until we got there & was outside. Overall, I like this & the Composure chews & feel that together they do help him.

I’m sure this works for some dogs but it did not help my dog at all with adjusting to our new place. She still panted in the crate.

I wanted it to work so bad as I was told really good things about this product helping other people’s dogs. Unfortunately it had no effect on out crew at all. Maybe it’s just our dogs, hopefully you will have better results. Good luck

Did nothing to calm our 8 month old rescue pup in his crate. Recommended by the vet, has worked for friends, but not for us.

Our dog gets so excited when we get ready to go for a ride. He barks, wiggles, is so happy. Then he gets in the car. Constant whining, crying, general unhappiness. This spray is amazing! I sprayed it in the car and waited 15 minutes. Doggo got very excited, hopped in the seat and just lay down. No crying, no whining, just quiet. And he looked peaceful. A few days later, I put him in the car and apparently the spray was still there because he didn't make a peep! Highly recommend this!
