Comprehensive Pet information-
October 30th, 2008Animal PhermonesThere have been plenty of studies done on dog appeasing pheromones and the vast majority of reviews, both from the scientific community as well as dog lovers at large, point to a positive dog appeasing pheromone review. Dog appeasing pheromones are used to soothe anxious animals by releasing them into the air. These pheromones mimic the ones release by a lactating dog during the first five days after birthing her puppies. In the same way the pheromone soothes the puppies, it has the same effect on the adult dogs.
Are there any Cons?
In the dog appeasing pheromone reviews, the main concern was the high price of the products. At present, the lowest cost of the product is the refill for the diffuser and the collar, yet each of these is still hovering around the twelve dollar mark. The diffuser and collar each cost about twenty dollars, as do the small bottles of comfort sprays that are also marketed.
What are the Pros?
Even though the prices are still high for the dog appeasing pheromones, the dog appeasing pheromone reviews still rave about the products. They say that the pricing is off-set by the fact that the refills only have to be bought about every four weeks, which puts the price of the product at about three dollars per week, which is minimal, even in a lower middle class home.
In addition, dog appeasing pheromone reviews of tests done by scientist keep proving again and again that the product works. In one such test, scientists released the pheromone in a dog shelter. The control group did not receive any of the pheromones but the test group was exposed to it by diffuser. The dogs in the test group proved to be calmer and more interested in the humans who came into the shelter. They also barked at a quieter level and were overall less anxious than the control group.
Dog appeasing pheromone reviews by pet owners are just as glowing. Greyhounds, dogs that are typically more anxious by nature, were found to be helped by the product. Greyhound owners found that after using the product, the urination in the house came to a halt. Additionally, thunderstorms were no longer a problem, whereas they were debilitating previously. Destruction to furniture and goods that used to be a result of separation anxiety whenever the owner left the house also came to a halt. Dog appeasing pheromones seem to be the best pheromone treatment for anxious and fearful dogs.
