ADAPTILCalm Transport Spray with Calm Home 30 Day starter kit - Diffuser and Refill

My 2 pooches are dreadful in the car, the older one whines setting the younger one off barking. We have tried correction spray (the hiss noise) barking vibration collars, and dog high pitch noise torch, stopping the car, ignoring, giving kongs, calming chews, you name it we've done it.To no avail and long journeys are dreadful.So...adaptil, our last resort, our hope in a storm, our desire...did not work. Nothing. Zilch.

I was hoping to calm my dog in the car as he gets so stressed. Unfortunately it didn't work for him.

Very good.

Didn’t seem to work

I usually have a bottle of DAP on hand for stressful times for my dogs - sudden or unexpected disruptions to their daily routines; thunderstorms, car journeys, and of course fireworks night (which is more like fireworks fortnight nowadays). Some dogs don't seem to be affected at all by DAP, but many dogs, including my own, do display more settled behaviours which is why I keep a bottle around. I got this new bottle as it's coming up to fireworks. My dogs are sensitive souls. I think they probably worry about how fireworks make me react as well as hating the screeches and bangs themselves - but anxiety is anxiety, whatever the cause.DAP for the dogs - Whisky for Maggie. Except not, as I'd probably just end up fighting the neighbours.These bottles of spray can be a booster when used in conjunction with a DAP plug in, or they can be used on their own. The 'reassurance' pheromone contained in DAP spray is in a volatile compound which needs to evaporate before the dog can properly detect DAP, so I spray a few puffs ten minutes or so in advance - in the car before a journey, or round their bedding/denning areas (storms or disruptions) or on my clothes and a few squirts into the air when it's fireworks. The calming effect should last a good couple of hours and you don't need much - dogs can pick up on just a few molecules in the air, and that's enough.A bottle lasts ages and has a shelf life of years if kept in its box.Online prices can differ, so it's worth shopping around - but get it from a reputable seller on here, as fakes do occur.

Our 3 year old dog is a bit of a diva and has a habit for whining in the car. We're used to it but when he started to go to day care a few months ago, they asked us to try this, to calm him down. I spray it on a blanket 15 minutes before he's picked up and it's improved how he deals with the van from the second trip! Would 100% recommend!

I was optimistic having had this product recommended by a friend but it didn't work for my dog. He's still a stress head in the car.

It doesn't work
