This is a liquid homeopathic remedy that you give your dog orally. It promotes a sense of calm in pets exhibiting fear, fretting, anxious or unwanted behavior caused by any of the following situations: thunderstorms, fireworks, loud noises, windstorms, sirens and gun shots.
Dog Appeasing Pheromone (D.A.P.) $9.99 - $35.99
D.A.P. mimics the canine "appeasing" pheromone released by the lactating female, the function of which is to reassure the offspring. Research has shown that these reassuring properties persist even in the adult stage. D.A.P. helps stop or prevent fear and stress related signs in puppies and adult dogs, such as phobias (fireworks, thunderstorms), separation anxiety, excessive barking and house soiling.
