Pacified Pooches: Dog Pheromone Spray
Dog pheromone spray is the latest answer to overly anxious and fearful dogs, and the research has been overwhelmingly positive. Many dogs face fears that are unable to be assuaged by their conscientious pet owners. Try as the owner might, the dog continues to succumb to these fears and becomes a trembling, anxious, panting ball of fur that cannot see reason until the situation that cause the fear is removed.
One of the more common fears and anxieties that dogs face is that of thunder storms. Many dogs in the face of the storm will find the nearest hiding place and sit there, shaking and whining, panting as if they have run a marathon, until the storm is over. There is absolutely nothing that the pet owner can do to assuage that fear. Another common fear is that of being left alone in the house, which tends to lead to urination or defecation in the house, chewed up toys and furniture, and an overall mess. Again, the pet owner is not able to do anything about their dog’s fears.
The Answer
Dog pheromone spray is the answer to these common fears that dogs face. For dogs that live mainly in the house, a dog pheromone spray diffuser is the best answer to their issues. By spraying a fine mist at regular intervals into the house through a plug-in diffuser, the house is kept at a constant pheromone level which maintains the peace of mind for the dog.
Dog pheromone spray is based on the pheromones that a mother dog produces while lactating during the first five days after the puppies are born. This pheromone calms the puppies upon their entrance into a strange new world. In the same way, dog pheromone spray is designed to function just as the mother’s pheromones do and causes a calming affect for the dogs that are in the immediate vicinity.
For dogs that live outside of the home, the dog pheromone spray can be bought in a collar that diffuses the spray at regular intervals, just as the house diffuser does. That way, even a dog that lives outside most of the time can also live in a constant calming environment, which helps them face whatever situations they might encounter.
Unlike pheromone spray for women or men, dog pheromone spray does not stimulate sexual attraction; it merely produces a calming affect. In addition, although the dogs are calmer, they do not become lethargic or apathetic with the spray. On the contrary, they are more free to play and ‘be a dog’ with the spray because their irrational fears have been assuaged.
