ADAPTIL Junior Collar – Calming Collar for Puppies

Give your puppy a more comfortable and reassuring start in their new home with the ADAPTIL Junior Collar. Specially developed for growing puppies, this innovative calming collar helps puppies feel safe, secure and confident as they adjust to their new family and surroundings.

ADAPTIL Junior releases a synthetic copy of the natural Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP), which mother dogs naturally produce to comfort and reassure their puppies. These familiar calming signals help puppies feel more settled during important early learning and socialisation stages.

Whether your puppy is adjusting to a new home, learning to spend time alone, experiencing new sounds or attending puppy training classes, ADAPTIL Junior provides continuous calming support to help make these experiences more comfortable.

The collar uses your puppy’s natural body heat to release comforting pheromones continuously, providing up to four weeks of support.

How Does ADAPTIL Junior Work?

Mother dogs naturally release Dog Appeasing Pheromones (DAP) to communicate comfort and security to their puppies.

ADAPTIL Junior contains a synthetic copy of this natural pheromone. When the collar is fitted correctly, your puppy’s body heat activates the collar, allowing it to release comforting pheromone signals into the surrounding environment.

These signals help puppies feel more secure and comfortable with their new family, supporting their adjustment, learning and development.

The pheromones are odourless to people and are specifically recognised by dogs.
