D.A.P® Collar
D.A.P® Dog Appeasing Pheromone mimics the pheromone that the mother dog produces
to calm and reassure her puppies. Dogs recognize these pheromones throughout life as
these pheromones appear to havea relaxing effect for both the young andadults.
The D.A.P® collar is an effective natural way to help your dog cope with new and fearful situations and it always stays with your dog!
To use, simply fasten the collar around your dog’s neck and adjust. Cut off the excess portion of the collar.Note from Pet Expertise: To prevent strangulation risk while keeping the D.A.P® collar on your dog, simply thread the collar through only one side of the buckle in such a way that it would easily come off if snagged. The effects of one collar last up to 4 weeks. Remove the collar before bathing or shampooing your dog.
Feliway®
Feliway® Spray quickly puts an end to stress-related behavior like urine marking and inappropriate
scratching. Use Feliway® Spray to treat surfaces your pet has already marked, as well as prominent
objects that could be future targets. It also helps comfort your cat in new or stressful environments
such as the veterinarian's office, a new home (or home with multiple cats), while traveling or boarding,
and when introducing new cats to your home.
Feliway® uses calming, analogue pheromones (structurally similar to feline facial pheromones) to reduce instinctive urges to mark and scratch. Pheromones are naturally secreted when cats rub objects with the side of their face. These pheromones are later recognized by the cat and produce feelings of familiarity and comfort. Feliway® spray entices your cat to rub his face on treated objects, depositing his own facial pheromones on the object so that it becomes a place he is unlikely to urine mark. Scientific studies confirm Feliway®'s effectiveness in mimicking the results of facial pheromone marking.
Soft-E-Collar™

and carry out normal activity with the Soft-E-Collar.™
The Soft-E is wonderful for pets with hot spots (acute moist dermatitis), dermatitis, allergies that cause skin euprtions, itching, other skin problems or who are recovering from surgery. Whenever your pet needs a plastic elizabethan collar, choose the Soft-E instead. The Soft-E is lightweight, flexible and comfortable.
Premier Citronella Spary
There’s no need to put up with endless barking. The SpraySense Anti-Bark Collar, immediately
and without pain, conditions dogs to stop barking using a harmless burst of spray. Veterinarians
and trainers universally recommend this anti-bark device above all others because of its unique
ability to deliver outstanding results without harming the dog.
“Barking is serious problem and one of the top reasons dogs are surrendered to shelters. The SpraySense Anti-Bark Collar is an extremely effective tool for owners to regain a quiet environment,” says Dr. Debra Horwitz board certified veterinary behaviorist. “I’d recommend it to anyone who’s frustrated with nuisance barking. It allows owners to interrupt barking and intervene to teach quiet behaviors.”
In 1996 a study conducted by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University found that spray proved to be much more effective than electric shock at either eliminating or significantly reducing nuisance barking. The Collar’s effectiveness comes from an innovative technology that simultaneously engages a variety of senses to harmlessly interrupt the animal’s unwanted behavior. A microphone picks up the dog’s bark which triggers a harmless burst of spray delivered from under the jaw. Unlike electric shock, the spray distracts the animal and effectively redirects behavior without painful consequences. It’s safe for all dogs, including puppies.
