Does Adaptil Work?
Yes! Adpatil products are clinically proven to help ease your dog's stress and limit signs of anxiety in dogs to help them feel more at ease.
What Behaviours Can Adaptil Help With?
Adaptil works by releasing a synthetic appeasement pheromone, which can help to ease anxiety and stress in dogs. If your dog is displaying behaviours such as whimpering at night, howling or barking when alone, or general symptoms of anxiety such as high heart rate, shaking, and cowering then Adaptil for dogs can reduce these.
If your dog has severe separation anxiety or displays aggressive behaviours, please consult your vet and a behavioural specialist as a calmer will not help with this.
How Long Does it Take for Adaptil to Work?
All dogs are different and as such may respond to Adaptil products at different times. Also, different Adaptil products are intented to start working at different times depening on which your choose. For difussers, it may take up to seven days for you to see the effects in your dogs behaviour, whereas Adaptil sprays can begin to work almost immediately with effects lasting up to 5 hours.
How Long Does Adaptil Last For?
This is dependent on the Adaptil calming product that you use. Generally, Adaptil diffusers for the home are designed for 24/7 use and the vial should last 30 days, while the diffuser itself last around 6 months.
For Adaptil collars, both Adaptil Junior and on-the-go should also last around 30 days of continuous use before needing to be replaced.
Short-term Adaptil calmers like the Adaptil transport sprays and express tablets last for a few hours at a time.
You could also try the Adaptil Calming Chews alongside a spray or diffuser, or on their own.
Is ADAPTIL Safe?
All ADAPTIL items are entirely safe for use around cats, dogs, and people. Moreover, the pheromones utilized in ADAPTIL products are dog-specific so that they won't impact any other pets in your household. All ADAPTIL dog diffusers adhere to the standards required by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), European Norms (EN), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Furthermore, the plastic materials employed are self-extinguishing (V2 grade) to reduce the risk of fire.

No. The synthetic pheremones in Adaptil products are based on those a mother dog emits to calm her puppies. These pheremones have no effect on humans or other animals in the home and there should be no noticable scent coming from any Adaptil products.
Does Adaptil Make Dogs Sleepy?
No, there are no known side effects to Adaptil products, including drowniess. However, if your dog is struggling to sleep due to stress and anxiety, then the effect of the calming pheremones may help your dog sleep more peacefully after you start using it.
