Traveling with an anxious dog can be tough. Your furry friend may whine, shake, or pace during car rides or vet visits.
Adaptil Transport Spray promises to offer a solution to ease your dog’s stress.
This spray uses synthetic pheromones to mimic the calming scent of a mother dog. It helps reduce anxiety symptoms in dogs during travel.
Here’s how to use Adaptil Transport Spray to make trips smoother for your pet.
Read on for step-by-step tips to calm your dog with this vet-approved product.
What Does Adaptil Transport Spray Do?
Adaptil Transport Spray mimics natural dog calming pheromones and helps reduce stress signs like panting, crying, and shaking during travel.
The spray contains 2% canine appeasing pheromone analog, an active ingredient that is known to promote a sense of well-being in dogs.
What’s It Good For?
While the ‘transport’ in its name indicates that it has been created to help pooches who don’t feel too well when they travel, there are more situations where a pheromones spray like Adaptil can be beneficial.
Travel Calming Aid
When it comes to traveling with your dog, you can use Adaptil spray in cars, carriers, or kennels.
If you are planning to travel with your dog in an RV, this can be a very effective ally to help your pup feel comfortable and at ease there.
Personally, I think it’s a good ally also when it comes to getting your dog ready to fly, as it can make your four-legged friend feel more comfortable inside a carrier.
Adaptil is completely safe and doesn’t sedate your dog — that’s why it’s one of the best products to keep your dog calm during a flight, right when most other products are to be avoided.
Other Uses
This vet-recommended product helps also with loud noises, separation anxiety, and vet visits.
If you know your pup suffers when you leave them alone at home, or you expect fireworks to disrupt the quite life your dog seeks and loves – give it a try.
For best results, spray Adaptil 15 minutes before stressful events. Apply 8-10 pumps to your dog’s bedding, carrier, or car interior. The effects last 4-5 hours, so reapply as needed.
Many dog owners see improvement within a week of use. Adaptil offers a natural way to soothe your furry friend without drugs.
