Stress in adult dogs and puppies can be caused by new situations or events that cause anxiety. Well-known stressful situations are, for example, Fireworks night, trips in the car, a visit to the vet, a house move or being alone (separation anxiety).

Unfortunately, dogs cannot tell us when they are feeling nervous or anxious. Instead, they expresses themselves in ways that are often labeled as problem behavior, such as:

• Destroying furniture
• Continuous barking or howling
• Peeing in the house

Dogs can become anxious with various stressful situations, including:

• Fireworks
• Thunderstorms
• Kennel trips
• Vet visits
• Travelling in a car
• Spending time alone
• Moving to a new home
• New baby or pet

The Beaphar CaniComfort® range help create a calm, stress-free environment for your dog. The pheromone in the Comfort range contains a copy of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone, produced by the mother while her puppies are young. When a bitch nurses her puppies, this pheromone provides an instinctive reassuring message, helping the puppies feel safe and at ease. When puppies leave the breeder to go to a new home, the Comfort range can therefore help them in new (exciting) situations such as socialisation and training. The Dog Appeasing Pheromone also has this comforting effect in adult dogs; it makes a dog feel more comfortable and relaxed, which can help reduce problem behavior.

Beaphar CaniComfort® is available as a Diffuser, Collar for Adults or Puppies, Spot on and Spray.

Also available in a variant for cats: Beaphar CatComfort® and rabbits: Beaphar RabbitComfort®.

What are pheromones?

Pheromones are chemical compounds produced by the animal itself. These substances are instantly recognisable to animals of the same species. There are different types of pheromones, causing their own instinctive reaction in the animal. Pheromones are sensed through the air by the Jacobson's Organ which is located above the palate close to your dog's nose.

Which product is best for my dog?

The Dog Appeasing Pheromone, a copy of a pheromone produced by the mother for her puppies, is in all Beaphar CaniComfort® products. However, one product may be more convenient than another depending on the cirumstance. With the diffuser the pheromones spread in the room where it is plugged in (up to 70m2); the spray from the treated object; the spot on and collar, the dog carries the pheromones with them while on the go. This is useful, for example, for stress outside the home (while walking, etc.).

Will Beaphar CaniComfortt® make my dog ​​sleepy?

No, Beaphar CaniComfort will not make your dog sleepy. It is a copy of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone that puts your dog at ease without making them sleepy or drowsy. You also don't have to worry that your dog looks relaxed but is still stressed on the inside, that is certainly not the case with CaniComfort.
