DAP Collar

[ILuvMyHounds]

My vet recommended that I try this collar for my dog, who was exhibiting aggression but I was also told it works well for dogs suffering with anxiety too. The collars last for about 4 weeks, and aside from the short lifespan of the product, the only drawback I have found is that it is hard to get it buckled but it does not come off easily either, which is a good thing. One more thing worth mentioning, if you bathe your dog or he goes for a swim, it should be removed until after the coat has dried since it is ineffective while the fur is wet.

I did notice that it did have an overall calming effect on him and if he does happen to get all hyped up, he seems to chill out quicker since he has been wearing the collar.

It looks and feels similar to the standard flea collar and since I cut off the excess length, I placed this leftover inside the coverlet of my omega dogs nighttime crate since it is a dog appeasing pheromone, I figured it shouldn't go to waste.

DAP also comes in a spray (which can be sprayed on a bandana and tied around a dogs neck, but needs to be applied every few hours) as well as a room diffuser

Hello Teresa,

Thanks for mentioning the spray and room diffuser. I didn't think about discussing the other products in my initial post, I just didn't remember reading about DAP products in any of the threads so far and I thought it might be beneficial to start a discussion so when future readers are browsing the forum, they might see our posts and know that there may be a product out there to help their best friend.

These products are reported to be beneficial for dogs that are afraid of loud noises, thunder, etc. Can also be used as a tool for dogs suffering separation anxiety.

I was hoping other members might share their experiences with these products as well!
