Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a scientist and therefore a "prove it first" type person. I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. I have a small mixed-terrier that is afraid of thunder, rain, and flies in the house. Yesterday I tried Adaptil for the 1st time, following manufacturer's direction by spraying on a bandana and loosly tying it on her neck. She had heard the oncoming storm and was shaking and clinging to me. Well...OMG! As soon as the spray was on the bandana she called down, left my arms for a comfy spot on the bed, and was obviously no longer stressed in the least! I could not believe how well it worked! She was abandoned at 5 weeks and thrown out of a car in a bag with 2 siblings--so even though this is a synthetic hormone/pheromone, it must have brought her great feelings of "mommy-dog" bonding and relief. An hour later I noticed our kitten trying to catch a fly. "Oh no!", I thought! Here we go with the "save me from the fly" routine. (She had been stung by a bee in the house as a puppy and never got over it.) The bandana was off by then and she was in the dark bathroom shaking. I slipped the bandana back on--and whallah! She stoped shaking, calmed down, and fell asleep. The "boogey fly" was no longer a threat! I can definitely say this product will NOT work the same on all dogs, as their hormone/pheromone receptors in their brains differ. But for us--it was a God-send! Thank you Adaptil!!!
