ThunderEase Dog Calming Pheromone Diffuser Refill | Powered by ADAPTIL | Vet Recommended to Relieve Separation Anxiety, Stress Barking and Chewing, and the Fear of Fireworks and Thunderstorms (180 Day

This is a plug-in diffuser, much like Glade Plug-ins or Febreze unstoppables. Unlike either Glade or Febreze, this diffuser has absolutely no scent whatsoever so it's a good idea to keep an eye on it around the 30 day mark for replacing.Anxiety:We have two senior dogs, both with anxieties such as separation anxiety, for one. In one dog this product seems to ease this, but he also benefits from a book on Audible when no one is around - go figure! (It has to be an audio book, he just does not care for music!) The other dog resorts to pacing, like a lion, until she exhausts herself, finally collapsing and falling asleep. Additionally, every evening our boy was having anxiety attacks that would come out of nowhere. He'd whine, pant heavily, and pace for hours. This was the reason we decided to give this product a chance well over a year ago; hopeful the pheromones would either reduce or ease his anxieties altogether. Our former Vet would not even entertain the idea that our dog was going through hell every evening, so we have had to find a solution, through trial and error, on our own. This product has definitely reduced those anxiety attacks down to about one per week. A huge and glorious improvement for him, and us.Thunderstorms/Rain:With continued use, it seems as though this might actually be working for my senior boy. He no longer cries, bursts through pet gates and bedroom doors looking for comfort. Instead he quietly retreats to our lower level, resurfacing about 10 minutes later, and curls up on his bed to nap out the worst of it. It's too soon to tell if this helps our girl, as we've only had one thunderstorm since she came to live with us.Fireworks/other loud noises:Last summer, this made little to no difference in how well my jittery guy handled the noise. We haven't had our old girl long enough to know how she'll react to this type of racket but will keep these on hand just in case.We recently bought these refills for two reasons: 1) it's spring and thunderstorms are starting in abundance and 2) our senior girl joined our home. Because she wakes in the middle of the night and begins pacing anywhere between an hour to two hours, we thought (or rather, hoped) this diffuser would be of some benefit to her. It's been plugged in for the last 60 hours and so far it has not helped with her nervous, middle of the night pacing. It wouldn't be fair to say this isn't working for her as I have little history on this formerly, terribly abused dog. Her environment is still new to her and I feel as if she needs more time to recover from being abandoned, neglected, and beaten. She is a sweet, loving girl who has already bonded with us, but her issues seem deep seated. We will give her time, both with her new home and this diffuser, to see if there is any improvement and / or benefit.Overall, as a repeat buyer, I would recommend with a caution to buyers that just because it might not work for you doesn't mean it's some sort of scam. Your furry friend might have deeper psychological issues, or it might be something/one in your environment making Fido uneasy.

I use this for my anxious dog. Not sure if it really works, but she is definitely calmer when I leave since using this.

not sure why this review prompt boxes asked about the "thickness and warmth" along with "value for money", but i do know this is by far among the best resources for over barky dogs. my friends with dogs think my Israeli Canaan barks too much. so you can imagine how non dog lovers/owners feel. especially the person sharing the wall our our duplex. but she's a guard dog, and they do that.i purchased this on advice from the vet a year before who sad adaptil will calm dog anxiety, which is a symptom of Libbi's Lyme Disease and made worse by fireworks. since people have begun to celebrate the fourth of July in June and most of the weeks before and after, it makes for a very unsettling time.plugged it in the week before July 4, 2020 and did not notice much at first, just typical barking with a little more lounging/relaxing. by the actually day of July 4th, this stuff had kicked in and she was not only noticeably calmer, but 50% less barky and unsettled.funnily enough, she began a barking firestorm a week ago. up and down from the couch to the window that overlooks dogs walking past (and which i unsucessfuly have tried to block her access of) BARKING, barking BARKING, barking. she went after the cat 10x what she was doing only this time LOSING her mind, spitting growling crazy like. i said out loud "what is wrong with you, you have not barked this much ....since....i .....started.... the -----ohhhh". i walked to the light switch controlling the outlet where her diffuser is plugged in and it was accidentally turned off!!!over time, i have seen it reduce her over all barking by on half. so much so, i bring it with us on trips now, use it in the car even. every place we have been others comment on how well behaved and calmer Libbi seems. while i was not planning on having this be a permanent part of our regimen (to resolve her Lyme symptoms), it works better than anticipated, and who does not want a dog to feel less stressed or anxious if you can help it. so it is a keeper.

Product works as it should and has in the past..
