This week Max has been wearing a DAP collar that is beyond its effectiveness. DAP stands for dog appeasing pheromone. In plain English, the pheromone is similar to the smell of a mother dog’s breast milk and has a soothing effect on stressed dogs. It’s said to have a calming effect on dogs and I believe.
I thought I had a spare but I didn’t so while waiting for the shipment to arrive, I can really tell that Max benefits from the DAP collar. He’s been on edge much more this past week. The DAP collar is inarguably a key component of his canine separation anxiety treatment plan. I’m going to make sure he has a new collar every month since it helps him so much.
