- Dog Calming Pheromone Spray | Powered by ADAPTIL | Reduce Anxiety During Travel, Vet Visits and Boarding

My little girl mixed breed has a few different “fears” that make her nervous occasionally. Of course, thunder is right up there at the very top. The first year after I had rescued her I noticed thunderstorms made her hide underneath beds, furniture or anywhere that made her feel safe. I felt helpless for her and looked up information about dogs being afraid of loud sounds and found this wonderful product Thunder Ease calming spray. A few days later I experimented with it by spraying her surroundings with this odorless pheromone and it honestly worked like a miracle! She falls asleep within minutes and it doesn’t take much to help her. That was 5 years ago and I’m never without this stuff. It’s in a base which contains alcohol and that’s the only odor this stuff has. That smell rapidly evaporates but the pheromone is on her bed or my bed wherever I sprayed it. She just relaxes and goes to sleep for a few hours. It seems to work better on some dogs. I guess I got lucky and I’ll never be without it! I also take it on car trips. It’s really a lifesaver! I purchase the larger size of 60 ml. The bottle I have now is at least a year old and still works fabulously.

Didn’t seem to work for my dog

This has been a life saver with all these spring storms! It has helped our husky stay more calm during storms. It works best if sprayed 10-15 mins before the storm.

I purchased this spray to help keep my dog, a 3 year old Black Lab mix, calm while traveling for an international move. I purchased it months in advance to see how well it worked and the results were mixed. During vet visits I saw little to no improvement in her nervousness. She still hid under the chair and table. But with getting her used to her travel crate I did see some improvement. But this was only before the move. During our trip to and in the airport I can't say how well it really worked for keeping her calm. She still started howling when they took her back to cargo. So the results were mixed leaning more toward not really working for high stress situations. But I still use it for working with the crate. *Note: my pup is a rescue dog, who had negative experiences in crates prior to me adopting her (ie she was kept in a crate way to small for the first 2 years of her life and kept inside for extended periods of time.) She also had major separation anxiety prior to our move. She is a high energy dog who would run on a 10 acre farm all day.

I don’t know what this magic stuff is, but it works so well doesn’t irritate my dog. I can’t smell it, but he gets so calm. I used it for when we were flying and it worked so well.

I hope it works for some dog owners but this has not made a bit of difference in my dogs anxiety/behavior. I tried it in hopes of calming her on car rides. She loves to ride but if tends to get really anxious if we don't go to familiar places. I've used it - just as instructed for several car rides and it's absolutely no difference. I love the "no drug" concept to help with anxiety but this just did not work for us. Since I spent the money I will use it until it's gone but so far nothing. The dog is about an 80lb German Shepherd. I will say that after an initial alcohol smell, I don't notice it. I wait the full 15 minutes before I allow her into the car.

Wow, on the first night using this spray it was amazing! After putting our pup to bed there was zero barking and whining. It’s true there is a bit of an alcohol scent but it worked like a charm! Highly recommend.

Easy to use and it definitely helps with thunder and loud noises.
