Adaptil Electric Dog Diffuser, Starter Kit

We were not sure what to expect, but within less then 24 hrs, both our 3 yr old husky, and our 9 month old husky, were laying near the area of the room where the Adaptil was plugged in. They were much calmer, and our 3 yr old husky was already calm before, but this has somehow made him seem like he is calmer still. Since our 9 month old husky is still a puppy, she is still chewing on her toys and plays without laying down much...but when she is by herself she is soo much calmer in the room with the unit.

I bought Adaptil to calm my 8 yr.old Australian Cattle Dog who is very afraid of fireworks and thunder. She also believes she's the sheriff of our street and barks incessantly when someone parks in front of our house or walks by with a dog. When the gardeners come she's a maniac. As soon as I plugged Adaptil into the wall socket, I witnessed a miracle - my dog lay down with her ears pricked up, she was at full attention but not a peep out of her when the gardeners' truck pulled up on the street in front of our house. She didn't even bark when they took their mower and equipment out or even when they started work. I couldn't believe it.

I would recommend this product to anyone who'd like to make a dog's life less frenetic and the neighborhood less noisy... … more

I was skeptical, but hopeful and a little excited when I bought this. Nothing has worked for our 4 year old dachshund/yorkie's awful separation anxiety and excessive constant barking. I got the diffuser this afternoon and plugged it in about 6 hours ago. All 4 of our dogs are laying around calmly. No barking, no grumbling at each other and no constant licking on themselves. I just hope it continues, our pups seem so much more at ease.

I ordered the Adaptil Calm last month for our dog, Lucia, who has a terrible fear of storms and fireworks. She will start pacing, panting, barking and jumping on us about 30 minutes before a storm approaches. We have tried the Thundershirt, but it didn't help her. We also tried Storm Stress drops which did work really well, but this summer we were plagued by several storms a week and we hated giving it to her so often. I ordered two of the Adaptil Home Diffusers, one for downstairs and one for upstairs. Lucia doesn't even seem to notice when storms are approaching and stays completely calm once they arrive.

A surprising benefit also came to light when my sister in law brought over her German Shepherd unannounced. My dogs had never met Axel, and they are fearful of larger dogs and tend to snap at them so I was preparing for the worst. I was amazed at what happened. Lucia walked right up to Axel sniffed him without snapping and then walked away and laid down. Stella, our other dog also walked right up to him, sort of play-bowed in front of him and then laid down right next to him. I couldn't believe it and then I remembered reading that the pheromones in the diffuser would also help when introducing dogs, and I am hear to say that it works! Our house has been stress free for a month and I am now ordering refills. Thanks, Adaptil! … more

I bought this because one of my dogs is anxious and gets restless at night, keeping us up. I’ve been using this for about 2weeks and I haven’t noticed a difference yet. I’m going to give it a little longer before determining it doesn’t work. It doesn’t have an odor, which it was worried about initially.

This product is amazing. I have used the spray adaptive previously and it was suggested I buy the diffuser. It has worked wonderfully you can actually feel it diffusing in the room. I highly recommend. Originally recommended to us by a behaviorist for our girls and she was spot on.

I purchased this diffuser for my 10 year old beagle. She gets extremely anxious with fireworks and thunder. It gets so bad we have to go into my small walk in closet and close the door. She still pants, paces and digs at the rug, but to a lesser extent. About 4 hours after I plugged it in the family room she was much calmer. The next round of fireworks still disturbed her , but much less panting and no pacing. I have a second in the bedroom. It has helped her go to sleep at night instead of staring out the window waiting for noise to start. Fireworks this year have gone on in our area every night from Memorial day through July 10th. Crazy! Great product, I recommend it to everyone.

Our nine-year-old Bedlington had become extremely reactive, with frenzied barking every time we came or went from our flat or she saw our neighbors (human and canine). A day after we plugged this in and put her Adaptil collar on her, she is barking far less and is much quicker to settle down. She's more relaxed, and so are we!

We have one dog who has taught the others that if they are afraid of thunder and loud noises you will get more scratches. However we bought Adaptil Calm after much discussion. We feel the one we put in our bedroom does the most good for bringing their level of fear down. We keep them in the bedroom for at least 10 min to get the "calm" in the air. When they go back to the living room they are at least more settled that before. So, we think it works although not as strongly as we hoped. We only bought 3 packages to start and may buy more with the refills.

I got this for one of my three dogs. I put it in the room where they spend most of their time. There has not been any difference on any of the dogs. I don't know what I expected, but I did expect to notice some kind of change. It was recommended to me by a friend who had used it on her dog and was told about it by her trainer. I'm very disappointed. I told several people about this product and that I had ordered it. I'm sorry to say, I can't recommend this product.
