ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser

Mother dogs communicate with their puppies using natural “appeasing messages” released from their mammary area. These "appeasing messages“ are scientifically called Dog Appeasing Pheromones. They are odourless and are only perceived by dogs. They provide a strong signal of comfort and security to dogs of all ages.

ADAPTIL Calm releases “appeasing messages” to help dogs feel reassured and relaxed in challenging situations.

Many dog parents start to see results for their dog within the first 7 days of use.  However, every dog is unique. Depending on how long the stress-related signs have been present and how severe the signs may be, it may take longer to see an improvement.

We recommend using ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser for at least 1 month.

To get the best from ADAPTIL follow the relevant advice on this website according to your dog's specific problem.

Most dogs will benefit from continuous use of ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser to create a reassuring environment in your home. The minimum recommended duration of use is one month.

One refill lasts up to 30 days It is recommended to replace the refill every 4 weeks, even if there is a small amount of liquid left inside the vial (the vial can never be completely empty as the last few drops of liquid are in sufficient contact with the wick to allow diffusion to occur).

Replace the diffuser after six months of continuous use (24/7) to ensure optimum effectiveness.

ADAPTIL Calm helps dogs adapt to everyday stressful situations they face living with us. The ADAPTIL Calm Diffuser releases "appeasing messages" to comfort and reassure your dog at home.

It is the ideal solution to help your dog with stress-related issues, such as:

• staying alone at home (barking, whining, toileting…)
• loud noises like fireworks or thunderstorms
• showing signs of fear at home, such as when guests visit.

In the room where your dog spends most of their time. You want to plug the diffuser in where your dog spends most of their time e.g. near their bed. 

Plug into a properly functioning electrical socket that has a clear space above it of at least 1.20m (the oily vapour that carries the ADAPTIL appeasing messages rises above the diffuser as a column of warm air).

• If your dog’s issues are not related to stress, ADAPTIL Calm will not help.
• If your dog’s issues are due to a lack of proper training (hyperactivity, over-excitement), ADAPTIL Calm will not help.
• If your dog’s issues are due to boredom, ADAPTIL Calm will not help.
• If your dog is housesoiling due to a lack of toilet training, or due to medical reasons, ADAPTIL Calm will not help. It is important to consult a veterinarian to rule out potential medical issues.
• ADAPTIL Calm will not help and should never be used in cases of aggression towards humans or other dogs. In such situations, we strongly recommend consulting your vet or an accredited behaviourist.

Use 1 diffuser for an area up to 70m² (approx. a 3 bed house).
For a large house, or a house with several floors, use several diffusers.

Within 24 hours, the diffuser will be fully functional and ADAPTIL appeasing messages will spread throughout your home.
For situations that can be anticipated like firework events, it is best to plug in the diffuser 2-3 days in advance to best prepare your dog for the stressful event.

Do not unplug or turn off the diffuser at night.

It is best to leave your ADAPTIL Calm Diffuserr on all the time. Clinical trials show that the diffuser is effective when used continuously (24 hours a day) as this allows your dog to continuously perceive the “appeasing messages” of ADAPTIL.
