ADAPTIL (D.A.P.) Collar - Dog Appeasing Pheromone Collar, Small

I was very pleased with the delivery time on my order. It arrived within a couple of days. The DAP collar was just as I expected - very easy to cut to the correct size. It was a great value for the sale price. Thank you!

This product did not work as advertised. I would not by again.

the collar was completely useless in calming our german shepard. it was a waste of money

This is probably a great product for the average dog, but it has not calmed my mini Schnauzer one bit, not even coupled with the DAP room diffuser. Prozac is my next try!!!

I purchased this D.A.P. collar after it was recommended by our veternary to help ease the anxiety of storms and loud noises. I have a 5+ year old lhasa apso that normally shook when he sensed storms. After using this collar now for 3 weeks, I can honestly say he has not shook the way he used to. He actually seems more at ease over all. Thanks. Yes, I would recommend anyone having problems to give it a try!

Our Jack Russell, Banjo has been wearing the DAP collar for 3 days. At first he seemed much calmer but it doesn't seem to be working anymore, he is as frantic as ever. When we leave the house the whole neighbourhood knows. He howls and barks and does not stop.

After moving in with my fiance my dog was experiencing extreme anxiety when being left alone. She's a rescue and has always had some anxiety but I was out of ideas on this one. My vet recommended this product. After putting on the collar there was no change in her destructive behavior and barking however she was very lethargic. I was calling the vet almost every day for about 1 week. She still ate as usual but didn't want to play catch and hardly greeted me at the door. She starting limping on her front legs too. I took the collar off and within a few hours she was back to her usual self. I still use the plug-in diffuser. Luckily her anxiety has gone done over time. I did not like the effects this collar had on my dog as she was "drugged" and not her usual self. My dog is 15 lbs and I bought the small collar. I don't know the level of phermones but I think my dog needed a lower dose.

The jury needs to still be out as we have used only one DAP collar on our furniture chewer so far, and it is time to change to a new one. We will be away for holidays this time, so the second one will be a good test. Morgan is now almost ten and was three when he strayed to us. So far the DAP collar offers the best hope of coming home to unchewed furniture. Even the DAP diffuser, which we have been using for a year or so, has not been as effective as the collar. I hope the second collar does the trick while we are away.

The D.A.P. collar seems to quiet down the excitable behavior. I definitely notice a difference when the collar is off for an extended period of time.

We tried the DAP Collar on our young male Maltese. With an aging large male dog in house too, he was trying to "take over" and mark his territory everywhere in our new house. The claming effects of the collar appears to have helped stop this behavior, or at least greatly reduced it.

I use this product extensively with many of my behaviour cases and the improvement in most is amazing. All the owners have stated they had seen improvement in their dog and anxiety levels decrease. It is not a cure all but certainly a good step forward to a happier, less stressed dog. Thank you Point Cook Dog Training Melb. Australia

She was having some pretty significant panic attacks. These collars fixed the problem! No more panic attacks! Plus, our vet says she can continue to wear them without any issue.

I was beautifully surprised by how well this worked for my little girl. She is a rescue and we are not sure about her past but she has suffered from anxiety for a long time (she has been with us for over 3 years). Using the DAP collar in combination with exercise and continuous socialization and training, she has relaxed significantly. This is not a "miracle product" but her anxiety has significantly improved since she began wearing it.

DAP collar really works to take the edge off anxiety in my dog. Collar lasts 2-3 months afther the first couple times, allows him to relax enought that we can work with his anxiety.

I got the DAP collar for my dog when we relocated interstate and we travelled by car to our new home. The journey took six days to complete and as we use the DAP diffuser at home we thought what are we going to do when we are in the car for six hours a day? So the DAP collar was the answer, and it does work. My baby was calm, relaxed and happy to be travelling such great distances and the road trip went off without a hitch. It gave me peace of mind too that he was OK. I can highly recommend it. Also for Australians, purchase it from EntirelyPets as the cost is very inexpensive (even with International postage) in comparison to buying from your local Vet. I was quoted $99.50 for "one" collar....eek.

Bought this for my weim who suffers from bad separation anxiety to the point where if i take out the other dog with out him, he sounds like someone is killing him in the house. It hasnt cured it but he is much more relaxed and less prone to the flipping out. Worth a try and at least his SA is more manageable without any drugs.

Hard to get the collar on. No change in pet. after application. I took it off after a week

My 14yr old Catahoula was developing anxiety seperation for the first time in his life. I believe due to loss of hearing and some sight, my neighbors were telling me that TIGGER was barking for HOURS each day.I tried leaving toys and treats etc but nothing was keeping him happy. My vet suggested trying the collar and when I shopped online I found the best price with Entirely Pets. The results were almost immediate. No more fear of thunder,lightning or being alone. I tried another brand from a local store which cost less but it had a strong scent and didn't seem to work as well. I will always keep one on hand for my boy.

My dog is older and is losing her sight. She was barking excessively because she seemed to want assurance that she was not alone. We put the collar on her and it really seemed to calm her. She still barks but not as long or as often and seems content more than before. Very pleased with purchase and will order again. The only problem is the clip that the collars is drawn through. It could be improved for ease of use. This really is a minor problem.

Product came quickly and with an expiration date well into the future. Both pups have behavior problems. One anxious, fearful. The other hyper & submissive urination separation anxiety. One had two knee surgeries. They are doing very well using the collars. Helped keep one calm with vet visits and after surgery. Our animal behaviour specialist recommended them & they are really helping. They are well worth the price and it makes their lives happier.

The animal behaviorist suggested the collar for my Jack Russell because of her thunderstorm anxiety. It worked beautifully ... she is still somewhat afraid but not nearly so much as before. I noticed that her aggressive behavior calmed down too. When thunderstorm season was over, I quit putting the collars on her and she is much more agressive. I'm buying the collars again and they are going to be a lifetime habit for her. (I used to use the wall diffusers - she would lie down under them any time she was in the house - but the collar is better because it is with her wherever she goes.)

I purchased this collar for my adopted 7 year old whippet. He has to be crated when we are not home and goes crazy in the crate - shaking, drooling, panting. He actually destroyed and broke out of a metal crate and has bent the door on the plastic crate we have him in now. I was hoping that the DAP collar would help calm him while he was in the crate. We kept it on him the full month and noticed no difference at all.

This collar was supposed to help reduce stress. I found that it did not work for my dog.

this is great 4 storms

My Vet recommended we try this for our Chi mix dog who pees from excitement and fear. it's working! He's not completely cured, but there has been noticibly less pee in the house happening!

Used the collars on 2 current dogs, and on a new young adult dog when she was adopted from rescue. Everyone, especially the snippy current dog, mellowed right out and got along well from the start. The rescue dog snuggled in, bonded quickly with me, and quickly became a family member. I've later discovered that she's rather aloof around people she doesn't know, and I think the DAP collar made a very positive difference. Will use the collar again on the rescue dog, since we're involved in dog activities that seem to be making her a little anxious.

My review is negative.... my toy American Eskie went from being calm to driving the family nuts, darting through the house like mad, as well as really scratching hard into our legs begging us to remove it. Shortly after removing the collar, she was ok. We attempted several times to try it again, with same results. We bought it for the 4th of July, started her on it the night prior, but just wasn't able to use it as she tried very hard to remove it, even went into a corner to hide. I'm not sure just what that means with her, but I'm sure it's just one of those things...some meds work for some people and some people are allergic. Go figure. She has returned to her normal happy, playful self, but soon as the collar comes out and she smells it, she runs. We have tried to even set it out in front of her on the floor, no luck, she smells it and runs! LOL Oh well.......

The DAP collar made a huge difference for my dog during our move to a new home. He stopped pacing and settled down as soon as it was on, and as a bonus, he was much less anxious during thunderstorms. It may not work on all dogs, but it's certainly worth a try!

To BJ, the poster with the dog that freaks out. You didnt mention if you use a collar normally and that could be the problem. My newest dog never wore a collar and we wanted to take her out for a walk and had to use one and she absolutely froze like a statue. She sat in the same position for an hour. We tried and tried to convince her it was ok, but to no avail. We gradually got her used to it though. Maybe for your dog, it is just the collar period, and not the "scented" collar. Just a thought. =)

I work in the veterinary and behavior field and have used these collars to help dogs overcome fear and anxiety problems. My success rate with the DAP collar for generalized anxiety has been about 90% - it either works really well or it apparently has no effect on the dog. I find that the dog has to wear it 24/7 for about 60 days to achieve maximum effect.

My dog's behavior favorably changes when she wears the DAP collar. She's a rescue dog, and new situations can make her very nervous. Wearing the collar now relaxes her when she is around new people and other dogs. She has become less reactive. She even enjoys visiting the vet. The difference has been dramatic.

I own to Jack Russell's and I was having issues w/agression and one of them is afraid of thunder and fireworks, instead of medications my vet suggested the collar and diffuser they have used them for over 3 mos. and they really work LOVE IT!
