It worked like a charm and made my dog sooooo relaxed and stress free would recommend it for ALL dogs. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     The Jury is still out posted on 10/08/2011 11:45:57 by polly26 At first it seemed to have calmed the dogs down making them more sleepy and less inclined to bark or play up The issue for us was that whenever we are at home we leave the french doors open to the garden and so there is plenty of fresh air circulating but inturn this seems to weaken adaptil and it becomes ineffective In essence if the dog is in one room all the time then it seems to have an effect In our case with the outside doors been open it does not seem to have an effect Consider carefully before you buy this product Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Good value posted on 09/08/2011 22:37:33 by Minnie I am using this in conjuction with an anti bark collar for my very excitable Jack Russell so far he does appear to be much calmer and is not constantly running around now Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Great product – highly recommend posted on 19/03/2011 13:22:06 by Lara T Our 12 month old Bichon, Billy, doesn’t cope too well at being left alone (only a max of 2-3 hours at a time) so we thought we’d give this a try. After a couple of weeks he’s much more relaxed when we go out & come home – it’s great! We also have a couple of challenges coming up; moving house in April & expecting twins in May so we’ll continue using DAP & hope Billy will continue to be a great little dog & friend!! Overall                     Quality                     Value                     It Works!!! posted on 06/01/2011 19:07:52 by Mogra I bought this product for my daughter-in-law's dog who was very highly strung.I had always bought the Fellway diffuser for my cats and it worked a treat.I saw this product for dogs and thought she should try it. She cannot believe the difference in her dog.She is so much calmer and more relaxed (the dog) and my daughter-in-law is delighted she would highly recommend this product. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Overall very good posted on 20/10/2010 18:29:14 by Brona1986 I have had this product on for 2 weeks now and it has calmed my dog down especially with the fireworks, we used to have to give him natural calming tablets to keep him calm but this works just as well. We have had to use the tablets when there is a lot of fireworks or it is very loud but the diffuser does exactly what it says it will. I am definately going to keep using this product! Overall                     Quality                     Value                     It certainly does help! posted on 20/10/2010 11:40:02 by The Tome Raider I have and ex-racing greyhound who suffers from separation anxiety, just like another reviewer. I bought my dog a DAP Diffuser and kept it going whilst I was out. When I came back, she was calmer, but was still whining and unhappy. Later, she hurt her paw and I turned the diffuser on. Again, she seemed calmer, but not completely quiet. The Diffuser, if used together with the Bach Flower Rescue Remedy, does, however, seem to work extremely well and I would recommend this combination. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Great Product posted on 31/08/2010 09:13:50 by julie237 I bought this to help calm down my greyhound. She's an ex-racer and when I got her she developed seperation anxiety quickly. This product has really helped calm her and her barking/whining is now much less than it was. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Works! posted on 30/06/2010 16:45:35 It seems to have worked on my hyper cocker spaniel! Which means he can cope with being left for the odd couple of hours here and there. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     This appears to really work! posted on 21/05/2010 11:14:44 by ellen We got a puppy a few weeks ago and our 6 year old dog started to wee whenever we went out - even for half an hour. Since we got the DAP Diffuser The adult dog has gone back to being her usual clean self and she is quiet and calm when we come home. It also seems to have stopped the pup's barking when we leave her. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Didn't work for me posted on 27/04/2010 19:28:33 by cg I got this to help when my puppy is left on his own but it appears not to have worked. I think it is because it is trying to cover a whole room. I have used the spray version to help with car travel and that seems to work really well. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Getting there ...! posted on 26/04/2010 09:27:09 by tracygibbon I was advised by the Animal Behaviour Centre in Manchester to get a DAPS Diffuser as my dog is three, very nervy and with a marked reluctance to grooming . It seems to be working well, it's been plugged in constantly for two weeks and Alfie seems a lot less stressed and will even be brushed and combed now without too much complaint. Great advice and great product Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Hard to tell... posted on 23/03/2010 08:57:36 by Chip Jenkins I plugged this in 2 days before my pup arrived, yet this did not stop the normal 'new home' distress in the night-time. The only thing that had proved calming has been putting a ticking clock in with a hot water bottle on the 2nd night to calm the new pup. I had read much about how amazing this product is meant to be on the internet. However, I think that for the price this is expensive for me personally as a pet owner. Good old fashioned love and reassurance has worked better I am afraid :- PetPlanet Says: We would like to thank the customer in this review for their comments. We can confirm that the DAP diffuser can take time to work and that you may not see any effects straight away.

Calmed dogs down almost straight away, they seemed much more at rest and less stressed out. Would highly recommend.

We bought it to settle in new pup and it appears to be working as previously she wasn't settling at night, now she is.

However has definitely has an effect in the room where it is plugged in!

Having adopted my 2 year old sprollie dog from Dogs Trust I found that she suffered from anxiety, particularly when left alone. I have used this product for 3 weeks now, in conjunction with a herbal remedy to treat the anxiety. By the 3 week stage, the dog is now much more settled and is calm when I return to the house after leaving her. She was drooling and licking herself excessively - to the point where she made her paws bleed. She has stopped this completely now.

It was very expensive from him so I Goggled D.A.P and found PetPlanet, I ordered the diffuser without hesitation when I saw how much cheaper it was from petplanet compared to my Vet. My old dog has not had a panic attack in over a week and we are very happy. I and can honestly say that in my experience the expense of the D.A.P is worth every penny and has helped my dog and I immensely Overall                     Quality                     Value                     very happy puppy posted on 12/08/2009 09:30:07 by Syd At first I was sceptical about this, but used today for the first time, when leaving him in his cage alone I have a camera link, so I can monitor him from work, he's only had a few whimpers and went to sleep compared to the constant barking the day before Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Tried and tested posted on 11/08/2009 08:24:46 I have used this before and it worked then and its working now!

Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Not sure posted on 12/06/2009 23:12:12 by PinkyPrincess I'm really not sure about this product yet. After reading reviews I did have high hopes, but I guess I wanted a miracle that would turn my hyper active beagle puppy into a placid calm sleep monster. That hasn't happened and he does still have his moments of biting and barking behaviour but perhaps he does settle a little more easily. It's difficult to attribute this to the DAP rather than him growing up a bit though. All in all I would say it's quite difficult to assess but I'm glad we tried it.

She seemed to take to both quite well - whether she's a very good dog or this helped maybe a bit of both!

The combination seemed to work for our two collie crosses, 3yrs old and 18 months old. We only needed this for the week before and after bonfire night, and it works. Do not recomend that these be left on for a long time, a couple of hours before hand is ok..BUT REMEMBER TO SWITCH OFF BEFORE BED TIME OR LEAVING THE HOUSE...the reason I say this is because they are similar in design to the plug in fragrance dispensers, and those have known to cause fires.

Both dogs seem a bit calmer but difficult to tell at this stage. I'm going to stick with it for the 3 months that's recommended. Very easy to use.

I bought this after reading a number of reviews. I certainly think it helped him settle in to his new home Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Appears to be helping posted on 10/11/2008 11:24:58 by julie-mulligan Bought this for my parents' 4 year old Lhasapoo, who gets stressed everytime they leave the house or when there are loud winds etc. Although he was still spooked by the recent fireworks, he does appear to be calmer and more relaxed since using the plug-in.

Overall                     Quality                     Value                     seems to work posted on 25/07/2008 06:10:54 by oodiebird Bought the dap diffuser together with a refill as it was a good special offer. I have a 5 month old Hungarian pumi,an unusual breed of dog. These can be notorious for barking and can also be quite excitable due to their nature as a herding dog. Since using the diffuser he seems to be much calmer and quieter. Gives me a lie in now instead of wanting to be up at 4 a.m! Also I use the diffuser in conjuction with a dap collar, so really only use the diffuser at intervals but don't leave it switched on all day. One thing I did notice, which did worry me a little bit is that the diffuser does tend to get quite warm when switched on for long periods but I know that this is the same for air freshener diffusers so i would advise anyone who buys one to check it regularly if they are using one for a long period of time Overall                     Quality                     Value                     This product does work - you just don't need to have it plugged in all the time! posted on 01/07/2008 22:49:31 by Janette My parent's own a sheltie collie 7yrs and she is particularly sensitive to noise so living in London from mid Oct to early Dec was a nightmare with all the fireworks. She was a complete nervous wreck and we honestly didn't think that we would be able to keep her. I read the reviews about this product and thought what the heck we will give it a try. The first time we plug it in she smelt the scent and didn't like it. What we have learn is that plugging it in for 5 mins or so is sufficient for an evenings fireworks. We now take it everywhere and she is a different dog - much more relaxed - chilled. We travelled back from Ireland after Christmas last year on the ferry - it was a particularly rough sailing. We put a little of the liquid on a tissue and left it inside the car but not close to her. When we docked, she was calm and relaxed. So try it - it is definitely worth it. Overall                     Quality                     Value                     Worth a try posted on 24/02/2008 17:55:29 by Pepperpie We used it for our crazy cocker spaniel pup. It didn't work as an instant miracle cure but seemed to take the edge off the anxious behaviour. I only really noticed the difference about three weeks later when I accidently switched it off because she became agitated and excessive again. I don't think it will solve emotional problems but it does help.

I got it as she was going to stay with my parents whilst we went on holiday so I thought it would help her to settle at night, glad I tried it first!!!!

I have had it plugged in night & day for 2 weeks now & for me it has made no difference.

I plugged it in before I left for my daily shop and on returning all was quiet, at first thought I imagined my dog had maybe made a bungee escape out one of my windows but on returning I found her curled up aslep in her bed very relaxed, shoes still intacted and no accidents in the house. I was so amazed that I had to call my husband at work and tell him how good this product had worked, it's amazing. I make sure I always have it plugged in any time I leave the house. I encourage anyone with similar problems to try it, you will be amazed. A miracle product.

That evening I knew it was money well spent. After a normal walk and evening feed it was as if I'd given my dogs a 10 mile hike and a 2pint bowl of pasta each. Content and relaxed even with visitors!

So impressed that we use it all the time, this has helped with visitors to the house etc. Our dog is now far more relaxed and happy. Overall                     Quality                     Value
