DAP

Promote the feeling of safety and reassurance for your dog

This is a new product to the market place. In mammals, all lactating females release a substance which science calls an "appeasing" pheromone. The function of this pheromone is to provide a feeling of comfort, safety and reassurance to the young. A dogs "appeasing" pheromones are secreted by the bitch 3 to 5 days after the puppies birth.

The environment we live in today is full of noises and smells that can be disturbing to some dogs who share our homes. It is now appreciated that anxiety is a real and debilitating condition for our dogs as well as for us. One of the most fascinating and ground-breaking developments to materialise against the stress and phobias experienced by our dogs is the identification and use of pheromone therapy.

Stressed and anxious dogs

A team of French scientists has managed to produce a synthetic version of this dog appeasement pheromone and this has now been launched in the UK as the Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) Diffuser. Tests and trials have been going on for the last two years to assess the products value in the treatment of stressed and anxious dogs, and these have shown that by releasing this familiar signal to the dog, the DAP Diffuser can be very effective in many areas of dog behaviour therapy by making it feel less anxious, calmer and safer. These include destructiveness, vocalisation and house soiling brought on by stress, nervousness or anxiousness.

The DAP Diffuser

The DAP Diffuser works like a plug in air freshener, continuously releasing the odourless natural pheromone into the dogs environment, helping to make it feel safe and calm. The DAP Diffuser is a natural solution, there is no sedative effect and the dogs ability to interact and play is maintained.

A lot of people have dogs who are frightened of fireworks, and it is very distressing for owners to see their beloved friends cowering or shivering in a corner during this season, which seems to get longer each year. The only solution for many is sedatives. This is only a short term solution and is not good long term for the dog.

The DAP Natural Spray

The Natural Spray has exactly the same effect on your dog as the DAP Diffuser, but does not require a mains electricity supply. Ideal for using in the car, can help with travel stress and car sickness.

Simply spray 8 to 10 pumps of D.A.P. 15 minutes prior to expected effects and before your dog is introduced into the environment (car, carrier, Kennel etc...). Effects should last approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, although each animal will respond differently. Renew application after this time if you notice a reduced effect.
D.A.P. Spray can be sprayed directly on bedding, inside crates, indoor kennels, or in the car. D.A.P. Spray should not be directly sprayed on animals or near an animals face.

Sounds CD

To go with the DAP Diffuser, there is a CD with sounds of fireworks on it. You play the sounds to your pet over a protracted period of time, starting at a very low volume and increasing gradually. This helps to accustom your dog to the sounds it does not like.

When the CD is used in conjunction with the DAP Diffuser it provides an effective, safe and natural way to calm your dogs fears and anxieties without resorting to potentially harmful sedatives and medication.

D.A.P. ® NOW AVAILABLE AS COLLAR
CEVA Animal Health have added to their range of innovative pheromone products by launching the new D.A.P.® Collar, to compliment the use of the well established diffuser and spray formulations, used inside the home or veterinary practice.

The D.A.P.® Collar works by releasing a constant stream of synthetic dog appeasing pheromone for a period of about 4 weeks.

Combining the D.A.P.® Collar with the D.A.P.® Diffuser may provide optimum results for dogs showing indoor and outdoor fears and for puppies or adult dogs settling into a new home. In multi-dog households, it is recommended that all the dogs wear a D.A.P.® Collar or that a D.A.P.® Diffuser used. The D.A.P.® Collar should be left on the dog at all times.

Facts

The D.A.P. Collar is activated by Close contact with the dog's skin, as well as the body temperature, allows the release of the pheromone.

The collar should be in close contact with the skin, like a flea collar, but with at least one finger fitting between the collar and dog.

The D.A.P. Collar should be worn along side the regular collar, so it is in contact with the skin. The D.A.P. Collar can be worn with a flea and tick collar. Do not cover the D.A.P. Collar with another collar or bandana. Do not use a anti-bark or remote training collar with the D.A.P. Collar, the spray collar range although painless disrupt unwanted behaviour with a suprising spray and the electric collar and sonic range deliver a punitive message that is not compatible with the calming effect of the D.A.P Collar.

When the collar is placed, the perception of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone by the dog is immediate. However, as in every behavior program, the visible improvement in specific behaviors requires some time, depending on a variety of factors: the dog, the nature, duration and severity of the problem, and behavior modification (dog and owner). Usually, an improvement in specific behavior signs is seen during the first two weeks after wearing the Collar, but some dogs require a month to exhibit visible improvement.

The D.A.P. Collar is expected to last for 30 days. The Collar will stop diffusing pheromone and clients usually notice a behavior change in their dog by the next day.

The collar is not a toy so it should be kept out of reach of children. Contact with the collar while on the dog should not be a problem.

If the collar gets wet, it should be taken off and wiped dry in order to maintain continual release of pheromone.

It is not recommended to bathe a dog or let the dog swim while wearing the collar.

The collar has a shelf life of three years, if it is stored in its original packaging in a dry place.

The pheromone is added to the inert ingredients used in the manufacturing of the Collar in a liquid form, then heated and dried to give the Collar its final shape. This process is similar to collars that are infused with other ingredients.

Two sizes available:

Small to medium fits neck size up to 37.5 cm
