ThunderEase Dog Calming Pheromone Diffuser Kit | Powered by ADAPTIL | Vet Recommended to Relieve Separation Anxiety, Stress Barking and Chewing, and the Fear of Fireworks and Thunderstorms (60 Day Sup

UPDATE AFTER A FULL YEAR OF USAGE: Does not really work. I would still plug it in because I was desperate for anything to work.. even bought refills but honestly it never worked. :( I will update this review after a few more weeks of usage, however I’ll briefly describe the experience thus far (4 days into having the diffuser plugged in.) The package came in perfect condition with every piece included so no complaints there. When I plugged it in, per other review’s complaints, I checked to make sure it wasn’t getting too hot or burning. It wasn’t so all good on the burning/too hot issue! I cannot smell it at all. My dog (15 month old lab mix) seems to like it, or at least doesn’t mind it. He goes in his crate a lot recently (I plugged it in right next to his crate for calming reasons.) I will hopefully have good things to review in a few weeks but it came just as expected with no problems so far. I also use Zesty’s calming bites, Thundershirt, and an organic calming spray for dogs.

I really wanted this to work for my male Corgi’s severe afternoon anxiety, but after three separate units and three different bottles of oil, I’ve given up. The pheromones ARE effective when they actually diffuse, but there is a major quality control issue with the wicks. In three consecutive bottles, the wick has completely "glazed" over or dried out within two weeks, despite the vial being nearly full. Even with the heater functioning and the unit level, the oil simply stops wicking. I’ve tried "priming" the wicks and cleaning the units—nothing works. Worse than the defective product is the lack of support. I reached out to the manufacturer (ThunderEase/Ceva) multiple times and was completely ghosted. If you have a pet that relies on this for stability, the inconsistency is a dealbreaker. Pros: Works well if it actually diffuses. Cons: High failure rate on wicks, expensive for a non-functional product, and non-existent customer service. I also worry about the safety of a heating element running against a bone-dry wick for hours at a time. Thankfully, Amazon stepped in with a refund for one unit, but I’m left with several bottles of expensive oil and a stressed-out dog. I’ll be looking for a more reliable alternative.

Package arrived in perfect condition. Odorless. It gets warm but not burning hot. Diffuser works great. Only place I can put it is close to a smoke alarm and it did not set off the alarm. It’s the first night but my dog is calmer than last night. We’ll see how it goes long term. He did smell the box with the replacement inside, he was really interested in it. Good sign 👍

When I got my 15 pound havanese rescue dog he was very calm and happy. But after 2 weeks he started constantly barking scrilly at every little sound. So I bought everything I could to try to calm him down. This diffuser kit, (and the Thunder Shirt) were two of the many things I bought. But when the diffuser bottle ran out of oil and needed a refill, I didn't really notice anything different in my dog's behavior. So I really can't say it works.......... But the THUNDERSHIRT worked immediately, and very well. He went to sleep, as often happened when my prior dog put his on. It's very similar to a human sleeping under a heavy blanket.

It never worked for my dog. But not all dogs are the same.

We adopted a little guy a few years ago after we lost our other fur baby to heart failure. Anyway, the new one had been tragically mistreated and completely neglected in his life before he came home with us. He had been kept in a very small kennel, had never been outside, could barely use his legs, didn't know what it was to be petted and loved on because he was neglected so severely.....this poor guy was a mess. But I adopted him and all of his problems. I have never given up on a dog, but this one was the absolute worst case I had ever come across. I was afraid that he would never come around and be a loving companion. I was wrong. I came across these pheromone diffuser after I bought the pheromone calming collar and had SUPERB SUCCESS, so I bought this to accompany and enhance the effects of the collar. OH, MY GOODNESS. What an amazing transformation of my dog! It doesn't make him perfect, but he is completely different. He's not as skittish, not as nervous, scared, anxious and depressed. He sleeps so much better than without this. He still has trouble with loud scary noise, bugs, being alone. But for the most part, he's a completely different dog. With the aid of this pheromone diffuser, the calming collar and some edible items that help him with his behavior issues, he has become a loveable, snuggle Munchkin. I don't use any RX's because of the side effects that can happen. I appreciate the more natural remedies for issues that may arise in life. And he had issues. He still has some, and I think he always will, because he was so traumatized and mistreated in his early life. But he now accepts pets, he loves to be loved on, he's definitely a "VELCRO" dog! I am so thankful that I came across this product and decided to take a chance. I am sure it won't work for everyone's dog's needs, but if you have tried several different things and have had little success, it could behoove you to take a chance on this. Because if it does work, then you will be able to feel better about the quality of life your dog will have. I know that I do. I have faith that these pheromone products help him and when it's time for a new one, about 4 weeks, I can see a big difference in his behavior. So I replace it with a new one and within a few minutes, it begins working its magic and he begins settling down. I always have several of these and several of the calming collars on hand. I don't want to be without them because of the fact that they're working for my little fellow and anything that makes him happy and comfortable I want that for him. He had a terrible life before us and I want to do everything I can to help make sure he has the BEST LIFE EXPERIENCE he can have. And this diffuser and the collar are a part of our life now. I hope you give it a chance because it could be good for your dog too, and isn't that what we all want for our fur babies ❤️?

Apparently this doesn't work for all dogs. Didn't help any of my 3 little dogs.

Let me paint you a picture: a frantic Shih Tzu zooming around the house like a tiny tornado on four legs, leaving chaos and mayhem in its wake. Enter the plugin promised to bring peace and tranquility to this whirlwind of fur and energy. Sounds like the premise of a heartwarming comedy, right? Well, let me tell you, the punchline is anything but. I had high hopes for this plugin, envisioning my hyperactive Shih Tzu transformed into a zen master of relaxation. But alas, reality had other plans. Instead of calming my furry friend, this plugin seemed to have the opposite effect – turning my once-bouncy pup into a canine connoisseur of chaos. Picture this: I plug in the device, eagerly awaiting the serene serenade of calming scents to waft through the air. But what do I get instead? A dog who's suddenly developed a newfound fascination with the curtains, a penchant for barking at passing shadows, and a talent for knocking over anything and everything in its path. It's like the plugin flipped a switch from "calm" to "chaos" in record time. Suffice it to say, my hopes of transforming my home into a sanctuary of tranquility were dashed faster than my Shih Tzu's hopes of catching that elusive squirrel in the backyard. While this plugin may have had noble intentions, its execution left much to be desired. If you're looking for a laugh and a lesson in the unpredictability of pet products, by all means, give it a try. Just don't expect your crazy Shih Tzu to suddenly channel its inner Zen master. As for me, I'll stick to traditional methods of canine calming – like long walks, belly rubs, and the occasional treat (for both me and the dog).

It’s supposed to be odourless but it smells burnt and smokes quite a bit! Turned out that it is really burnt. Not safe for use at all!!

En general es un buen producto, la efectividad es media pero aceptable, comprare un repuesto para verificar.

Mis cachorras se peleaban mucho y con el producto se han vuelto más tranquilas!!!!!
