What the diffuser is designed to do

ADAPTIL Calm releases a synthetic version of a dog-appeasing pheromone into the room. It is designed for continuous use around situations such as staying alone, visitors, loud sounds, or adjustment to change.

Placement and expectations

Install the diffuser in the room where the dog spends the most time, using an unobstructed outlet. Furniture, curtains, shelves, and open windows can affect distribution. It is not an instant sedative, so assess changes over days rather than minutes and combine it with suitable routines and training.

Important health note

Sudden behavior changes can have medical causes. A diffuser should not delay a veterinary assessment when anxiety begins abruptly, is severe, or appears alongside pain, appetite changes, house-soiling, or aggression.

Cost check

Before buying, compare starter-kit and refill prices and confirm regional plug compatibility. Record refill dates so the device does not remain plugged in after the liquid is depleted.

ADAPTIL Calm Home Diffuser FAQs

Where should I plug in the ADAPTIL diffuser?

Use an open wall outlet in the room where the dog spends the most time. Avoid placing it behind furniture, curtains, doors, or other obstructions that can limit airflow.

How long should the diffuser remain plugged in?

Follow the current starter-kit and refill directions. Continuous use is generally intended, with the refill replaced on schedule rather than left empty in the device.

What if my dog suddenly becomes anxious?

Sudden or severe behavior change can have a medical cause. Contact a veterinarian rather than relying only on a pheromone diffuser.
