“I really noticed a difference with my rescue sheepdog. He no longer soils the crate when we leave. The staff at doggy daycare commented on how much better he is. The difference in his anxiety level is subtle, but I can tell when he needs a new collar by his behaviors. The pet behaviorist suggested it and we’ve been pleased with the results.”

What others have to say about the Adaptil Home Diffuser
“I honestly wasn’t sure if this was actually working because the change was over such a long time that I didn’t notice it until my dog’s stress symptoms started to come back and I realized the diffuser was empty. Sometime within the 4 weeks of this diffuser being plugged in and paired with the collar, my dog went from biting at herself and creating hot spots and peeing on the floor every time I left the house to a relaxed, happy dog whose fur is growing back and no longer having accidents. I could not be happier with these products. It saved me from having to medicate my dog.”
“Finally, two nights in a row of full sleep. Our senior dog (16 yrs) is suffering with Dementia. She hasn’t had a quiet night’s sleep in nearly a month. Enter Adaptil. Our vet suggested it as he had great success using the spray post-op to ease the anxiety of pups coming out of anesthesia. We placed the diffuser in the outlet closest to her bed and we had positive results from first use. She’s calm, significantly less barking in the night, no more pacing, and a full night’s rest for us. Dementia aside, our old girl is still active and healthy for her age. We’re so happy to have Adaptil to help ease her through. “
As you can see, there are people who swear by Adaptil products and the changes they’ve seen in their dogs after using them. However, overall, the ratings of Adaptil products are kind of average.
