What is a dog calming collar and how does it work?
Dog calming collars usually contain chemicals known as pheromones, which are a type of chemical that helps members of the same species to communicate. Sometimes calming collars also contain essential oils or herbal blends.
A synthetic version of the pheromone released by a mother dog has been developed, known as Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP). It’s this which is contained within dog calming collars. The pheromone helps your dog to feel both secure and more calm, which can help reduce unwanted or destructive behaviors.
How long do dog calming collars last?
Most dog calming collars will last up to 4 weeks. Individual manufacturers will state how long their collars last in online descriptions and on packaging, so check these to make sure. Remember to remove the collar before bathing your dog, or if they go swimming while out on a walk. Be sure to replace it once your dog is dry.
