We have been struggling for a while with a Lurcher (rescue dog who had been found on the streets) who understandably has quite a few issues one being extreme anxiety in the house. This manifested itself with almost constant barking the slightest sound both from outside and inside would trigger this and it could take a while to calm him. He was always twitchy and on edge his ears pricked back listening never relaxed for long.
We had tried the Adaptil plug in as recommended by the Dogs Trust from where we re-homed him from but though at first it seemed to work, It ended up being a disappointment though it may work with other dogs it certainly did not with ours. It was then that we tried the Pet Remedy plug in though at first we admit we were not holding out much hope but thought wort a go. To our delight this product really worked we noticed an almost immediate difference with our dog simply chilling in his bed stretched out seemingly without a care in the world. Any barks were few and far between and also became extremely half hearted one or two tiny woofs without getting up or even raising his head. As if he was thinking that will have to do I am far to comfortable to bother with anything more then go back to snoozing. When up and about he wandered around the house just as calm and seemed to enjoy playtime much more.
One day we noticed he was on edge once more and the barking was starting up again so we looked at the plug ins around the home only to discover the one in the lounge had virtually dried up we immediately replaced the bottle and within a very short time a wave of calmness came over our dog. proving to us beyond doubt just how good this product is a total life saver. The reason we had missed this was the bottle had run out after just over a month, earlier than the advertised 60 days for one refill. we contacted actual company Pet Remedy who we have to say were amazing i had sent an email to them and was expecting it to be several days before i received a reply also by email but to my surprise we were telephoned within about an hour of my email being sent. An incredibly helpful man called Martyn from Pet remedy chatted for some time and it seems that the oscillating fans we have had running most of the days during the hot weather could be to blame due to the amount of air turbulence they create.
On the whole i would say it has had a massive impact for the better on the quality of our dog’s life as he is no longer the same nervy dog that jumped at his own shadow. One final thing I suppose there can be no guarantees as all dogs are different but we would recommend most highly the trying of this product.
