ADAPTIL Collar Small 45cm – Calming Collar for Small Dogs & Puppies

Help your dog feel safe, relaxed and reassured with the ADAPTIL Calm Collar Small 45cm. Designed especially for puppies and small dogs, this innovative calming collar releases a synthetic copy of the natural Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP), helping provide a sense of comfort and security in unfamiliar or stressful situations.

ADAPTIL recreates the natural comforting pheromone released by mother dogs to reassure their puppies. This familiar calming signal helps dogs feel more confident when dealing with everyday challenges such as travelling, loud noises, training, boarding and changes in their surroundings.

The collar is activated by your dog’s natural body heat, allowing it to release calming pheromones continuously while being worn. It provides up to four weeks of ongoing support, making it a convenient option for puppies and small dogs that need extra reassurance.

How Does ADAPTIL Work?

Mother dogs naturally produce Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) to comfort and reassure their puppies.

ADAPTIL contains a synthetic copy of this naturally occurring pheromone. When the collar is fitted correctly against your dog’s skin, body heat activates the collar and encourages the continuous release of pheromones.

These familiar signals help dogs feel more secure and comfortable in their surroundings.

• Dogs experiencing stress during changes to their routine.
