Veterinary Product Laboratories offers pheromones that can ease the season’s anxiety for pets and their owners. D.A.P.® (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) and Feliway® for cats are synthetic pheromones that naturally control and manage pet behavior associated with anxiety, fear, stress and phobias without drugs or electronic training devices. The pheromones are undetectable by humans, and are safe and nontoxic to people and animals.
How Do Pheromones Work?
D.A.P.® soothes dogs by mimicking the pheromone of a lactating female dog. By replicating this soothing maternal signal, D.A.P.® has been clinically proven to end or reduce stress-related canine destructive behavior by 86 percent and excessive barking by 70 percent. Feliway® mimics the friendly facial pheromones that cats use to mark their territory when they rub their cheeks against people and objects. Studies show Feliway® has a 95 percent success rate in reducing or eliminating two of the most common problem in cats--urine-marking and vertical scratching.
“Veterinarians can offer these easy-to-use pheromones to clients whose pets react negatively to storms. D.A.P. and Feliway also help pets cope with new summer environments, such as vacation homes or boarding facilities,” said Tammy Senter, marketing manager for VPL’s pheromones. “The products effectively manage pets’ behaviors during unfamiliar and intense situations.”
The pheromones also console pets that are newly adopted, moving to new homes, or adjusting to new pets and visitors. Both lines are available in a convenient spray and a plug-in diffuser.
