ADAPTIL Junior

The ADAPTIL Junior Collar should be fitted snugly on your dog's neck to ensure proper functioning.

• After removing from the packaging, place a finger in the plastic loop situated on the inside of the collar close to the buckle
• Using this loop pull to uncoil the collar
• Feed the end through the buckle
• Place over your puppy’s head
• Tighten the collar to fit snugly with your puppy’s skin
• You should be able to place no more than 2 fingers between the collar and your puppy’s skin
• Ensure the collar is secure
• Cut off any excess portion of the collar
• When ADAPTIL Junior comes in contact with the skin, your puppy’s body temperature warms the collar resulting in the diffusion of “appeasing messages” into the local environment
• The collar should remain on your puppy at all times (except when using shampoo).

ADAPTIL Junior is one size and recommended for puppies up to 15 kg (6 months of age depending on breed).

If you need a bigger collar, take a look at ADAPTIL Calm Collar size M/L as this maybe more suitable to the size of your dog. It works in the same way and provides the same support.

One Junior collar lasts 30 days. It is recommended to replace the collar every 4 weeks, to ensure continuous support to your puppy during their socialisation period and whilst they are learning about the world around them, until they are 6 months old.

ADAPTIL Junior will start to work immediately upon being fitted to your puppy. Remember to adjust the collar to make sure it is fitted properly.

Regularly check that the collar remains snug to your puppy's skin (but not too tight as your puppy grows) to ensure a proper fit (if the collar is too loose, it will not be warmed enough by the body heat).

Do not remove the collar, except for during bathing when you are using shampoo or if they are swimming in chlorinated water.

Leave the collar on 24 hours a day. Efficacy is proven in clinical trials with continuous use of the collar (24 hours a day) allowing the puppy to constantly perceive the “appeasing messages” from the collar.

Once the collar is out of the box and the packet opened it has a 30 day life span. It is beneficial to keep it on your dog at all times and not remove it during these 30 days.

The diffusion of the “appeasing messages” has been tested on 70 dogs with various hair lengths: short, medium and long.

Hair length has no impact on diffusion as long as the ADAPTIL Junior Collarr is properly fitted.

The collar is not made of recyclable plastic material.

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.

These “appeasing messages” provide a strong signal of comfort and security to puppies.

ADAPTIL Junior helps puppies to feel as comfortable and secure with their new family as they did with their mother.

Within the first week after adoption, puppies stop crying at night faster with ADAPTIL Junior

Within the first month, puppies become more confident and self assured. They learn better and faster thanks to ADAPTIL Junior.
