Adaptil Spray is a quick, convenient and effective pheromone therapy to help you to manage stress in your adult dog or puppy. Your canine companion can experience anxiety as a result of any number of unavoidable occurences, such as fireworks and thunder, trips to the vet, houseguests (human, canine or even feline), a new baby or pet, or a temporary stay in kennels.Whatever the cause, simply spray eight to ten pumps of Adaptil fifteen minutes before you wish its effects to take hold; Adaptil can be sprayed on your dogs bedding, or inside a crate, car or kennel but never directly on your pet or near their face). Effects can last between two and three hours, though every pet will respond differently. You can repeat application after this time or when you notice its effect reducing.
