The best dog calming plug-in for anxious pups

ADAPTIL is a clinically proven dog behavioural product backed by over 25 years of science and research into animal welfare. This ADAPTIL Calm Home Diffuser With 30-Day Refill contains a synthetic copy of the dog-appealing pheromone, which a mother naturally emits to calm and reassure her litter. This helps adult dogs to destress and feel safe.

Customer review: "Fantastic product. Bought this for my lab as I couldn't handle her crying and scratching at the door every time I went out or mainly to bed. Since I have bought this it has not just changed my dog's life but it has given me a life without worry.

"Whoever has made this, I would honestly love to shake their hands. Since I have got this, my dog now feels so much calmer in herself. She is a totally different dog. I have had her for five years now, and you would honestly think that she was a different dog."

This Pet Remedy Natural De-Stress and Calming Plug-In Diffuser is ideal for pets, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and more. Just plug in and let the de-stressing properties slowly release into the environment. It is made with a blend of essential oils, including valerian, vetivert, basil sweet, and sage.

Customer review: "This product was amazing from the day I plugged it in! My Siberian husky would destroy the house whilst I was at work every day without fail regardless of what I left her to chew, eat or play with. I plugged this bad boy in and have come home every day since to not one thing touched and a happy girl asleep with the cat on the sofa."

"Even the cats are more chilled and loving. I can smell it slightly, but it's a nice smell and not at all offensive. I would highly recommend trying this plugin."

Whether your dog is nervous or stressed due to separation anxiety, family gatherings, fireworks and more, the Beaphar CaniComfort Calming Plug-In Diffuser with Refill for Dogs uses pheromone technology to calm your pooch down.

It can help to alleviate common signs of stress. Pheromones send a strong signal of safety and comfort to calm pets. See results within two weeks. This drug-free solution ensures the safety and relaxation of your dog; allowing you to feel good about aiding your their wellbeing.

Customer review: "It's been less than four days since its arrival and immediate plugging in and it's most definitely working to positively improve her behaviour. She is still barking to let me know someone is at the door, but once I tell her to calm down and go to her bed she calms down and stops barking, she just seems generally a lot more laid back and content."

Like the Pet Remedy diffuser, this Pet Remedy Calming Spray contains Valerian essential oil blended with Vetiver, Sweet Basil and Sage to calm your four-legged friend. The spray works by mimicking the natural calming neurotransmitter called GABA to soothe your pooch's nerves.

Customer review: "I was pleasantly surprised to find it quite effective on my dog. I spray it on his harness and bedding. He is much calmer when I use it."

This ADAPTIL Calm Transport Spray works in the same way as the ADAPTIL Calm Home Diffuser we've listed above and is a great solution to help your dog stay calm and adapt at home in situations like staying alone or in the car. The brand recommends spraying this 15 minutes before introducing your dog to the situation and each spray will last up to five hours.

Customer review: "I was very surprised at the effectiveness of this spray. Have an eight month lurcher, and we are her sixth home in eight months, so think she associates car journeys with abandonment. I tried this spray after reading reviews. The only problem now is I cannot get her OUT of the car. So I truly think it has made a big difference."

If you want an easy alternative but don't want to use herbal scents, this ADAPTIL Calm On-the-Go Collar uses the dog appeasing pheromone which a mother will naturally release to her litter having the same effect on adult dogs. This collar is aimed at larger dogs and there's also an option to include a home diffuser if you want to get a bigger package.

Customer review: “There are a lot of mixed reviews so obviously it does not work for everyone. Fortunately for us, it has proved very effective at managing our dog's anxiety. There has been a noticeable difference in him since using this and I would recommend it to anyone. If your dog is anxious, give it a go. Also, it is much cheaper here on Amazon than purchasing directly from the vet. Edit: just wanted to add that a year on from writing this review, we still regularly use this and still find it very effective.”

These YuMOVE Calming Care for Adult Dogs supplements in tablet form contain hydrolysate and lemon balm, this will be sure to soothe your pooch. A supplement is not an instant fix - as they take a few weeks to help your pet. A special blend of natural fish protein hydrolysates supports your dog's brain, helping calming signals find the right spot. And essential vitamins and minerals contribute to your dog's overall sense of wellbeing.

Customer review: “He sleeps deeper and for longer. He - mostly - ignores door knocking and visitors now. He is so much less jumpy we can finally relax when walking him. He has also found his playful-ness again; often found playing, digging, burying, shredding, rolling and wriggling around, calling out his "play" bark. This contains no synthetic drugs, just natural ingredients (think of human vitamin tablets or Omega oil supplements).”

Sometimes all a dog wants is a good fuss or attention from its owner. Just like swaddling a child or using a weighted blanket, anxiety jackets apply gentle, constant pressure to calm pets and make them feel safe. The Thundershirt The Best Solution For Dog Anxiety will help your dog to feel comfortable and you can tighten up the straps so it fits perfectly.

Customer review: “Velcro, great as you can stretch this item as much as you want, so poochy can feel as warm and comfortable, as being with their mother. It really comforts them, especially when fireworks are going off. Would recommend.”
