Calmex Plug in Diffuser Starter Kit for Cats and Dogs

Why did you choose this product over others?: Had used the Calmex Car Diffuser from having my dog at 8wks & from first car ride experience she coped really well & I still have no problems at 2yrs old with car journeys & she doesn't have regular trips out in the car & I haven't had a diffuser in the car for 8 mths. I decided to buy diffuser for the house as at 18mths she started to be more unsettled & vocal, her second firework night she showed fear & hiding, loud noises suddenly affected her. From 8wks on homing her I had used Adaptil consistently but then stopped as I wanted to see if/how as she was maturing, what her behaviour needed. After her second Nov 5th & Christmas/New Year, I decided to try Calmex based on how introducing her to being in a car had been. It is quite a strong smell when new, actually gave me a headache, but I'm pleased with her behaviour & reaction to stress, her barking at the TV has reduced as well but then I have also taken responsibility & been more aware of her triggers & she is now 2yrs old so still young. It's made a difference & I will continue to use rather than calming supplements.

This has my dogs sleeping or calm quite quickly and I've received compliments on the smell from visitors. Already started to recommend to people I know.

I am sure this product is good however we found that it gave us headaches because it was such a strong aroma. We had it on for a few hours at a time but it didn't seem to make any difference to my Frenchie who has ADHD. I'm not saying it's a bad product it's just not for us.

Product does have a distinct smell but not unpleasant,I used it late afternoon and evening and it seems to have settled our dog down and he seems a lot happier. If it carries on working I would say that it is good value

12 hrs in and I can't say if it helps my old cats deal a bit better with two new introductions but I can say my entire house stinks of the unholy union between a 1970's can of Glade 'air freshener' and a cheap car mirror air freshener. It is horrible. Just a warning to any potential buyers. Will update if I notice the cats change behaviour.

Definitely helped calm my dog on stressful days.

I cannot recommend more highly. Within 1 hour of plugging the diffuser in, I could approach a feral kitten that had been super aggressive and begin to start socialising her. Within days she was approachable, was purring and accepting strokes. I honestly was beginning to think she would not calm down, but Calmex did the trick.

I got this for when we brought our puppy home and had it on a few days prior. I really think it helped as noticed our cat was much more chilled. Cat and puppy now get along happily (mostly!)
