The Adaptil product range

How to best use Adaptil will depend on the situation your dog is faced with and/or the behaviour they are exhibiting.
Adaptil can
•   Help comfort dogs during car travel
•   Help promote learning during training classes
•   Help adults and puppies settle in new homes
•   Help reduce stress-related behaviours in response to challenging situations (fireworks ,  Christmas , new baby  etc.)

The Adaptil Diffuser is a discrete plug-in which bathes the home in a synthetic copy of the ‘canine appeasing pheromone ’, a natural product proven to comfort both puppies and adult dogs. Releasing the comforting pheromones into the local enivonment.

The diffuser covers an area of 50-70m2 with each vial lasting up to 4 weeks. The diffuser should be plugged into the room where the dog spends most of its time. Adaptil Refills can be purchased and replaced as required, upto 5 refills may be used before replacing the unit.

Adaptil Spray  can be sprayed directly on bedding, inside crates, indoor kennels, or in the car. It is a convenient formulation for intermittent use.  Spray 8 to 10 pumps of Adaptil 15 minutes prior to expected effects and before the dog is introduced into the environment (car, carrier, kennel etc…). Effects should last approximately 2-3 hours, although each animal will respond differently. Renew application after this time or if you notice a reduced effect. Adaptil Spray should not be directly sprayed on animals or near an animal’s face.

When the Adaptil Collar  is in snug contact with the dog’s skin, the dog’s body temperature warms the collar and encourages the diffusion of pheromones into the local environment. As a result, it is vital the Adaptil Collar is in close contact with the dog’s skin at all times. Two sizes of collar are available for puppy/small dogs (fits neck up to 37.5xm) and medium/large dogs (fits neck up to 62.5cm).  Each collar lasts 4 weeks and can be replaced as required.

How to fit an Adaptil Collar

- Pass the loop through the end

- Pass the loop over the head

- Adjust to fit snugly and trim excess if necessary

- Check the collar at regular intervals. It must remain snuggly against the dog's neck.
