A plug-in diffuser releasing a synthetic copy of the dog appeasing pheromone — the one a bitch produces while she's feeding a litter, which tells a puppy everything is all right. Adaptil puts that signal into a room, and it works on adult dogs as well as puppies.
What it's used for
- Fireworks and thunderstorms
- Settling a new puppy through the first nights
- Moving house, or a change in the household
- Dogs left alone during the day
- Barking, pacing, destructive chewing, and toileting indoors when it's anxiety-driven
How to use it
Plug it into the room the dog spends the most time in, out in the open rather than behind a couch or under a shelf. One diffuser covers around 50–70 square metres and a refill lasts about 30 days. Leave it running rather than switching it on and off.
For fireworks, start it a week beforehand rather than on the night.
It's drug-free, has no sedative effect, and can be used alongside anything else your vet has you doing. Dogs are unaffected by other dogs' pheromones, so it won't upset a multi-dog household.
Buy the diffuser and refill together first, then refills on their own after that.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
Not sure what rug your horse needs right now? Our free Horse Rug Forecaster checks your local weather and tells you what rug weight your horse needs today, tonight and over the next 3 days. It works anywhere in New Zealand and adjusts for clipped horses and horses that feel the cold.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. Humans need it much warmer, at around 25–30 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, a healthy unclipped horse with shelter usually doesn't need a winter rug until it feels colder than about 5 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition. For advice based on your local forecast, try the Horse Rug Forecaster.
