ThunderEase Dog Calming Pheromone Diffuser Kit | Powered by ADAPTIL | Vet Recommended to Relieve Separation Anxiety, Stress Barking and Chewing, and Fear of Fireworks & Thunderstorms (90 Day Supply)

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.

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 ❤️?

I didn’t see where this helped my dog. But maybe my dog has other issues going on

I have a neurotic pit bull who forecasts weather. I bought these to help with his anxiety when the pressure drops to see if they help reduce the panting, pacing, chewing, teeth chattering, shaking, etc. They do seem to help some, since medication and his thunder garment alone didn't help. I plug them in at any chance of rain, fireworks, crickets, croaking frogs, etc. and they do seem to help. He's an extreme case. These are simple to plug in, leave room to plug something else beneath them, don't smell, and are conveniently refillable. Will continue to use.

I have a big dog that does not deal well with thunderstorms. So imagine the 'fun' we have during monsoon with almost daily thunderstorms and there are days were the storms roll through in bands providing nearly 12 hours of thunder. I use all sorts of stuff from the white noise of fans, classical music, and calm aid supplements during monsoon season. By the end of the season we have it down to a science. It seems as he gets older he gets more stressed over the sounds and what worked last season needs to be pumped up. I have even tried an earmuff to filter/limit the noise that he hears with hilarious results. After about a week of using this kit I noticed that he seemed calmer and stayed in the general area where the diffuser is located. He still is showing signs of stress; yet, it is manageable with a blanket and lots of attention.

Not sure. I hate giving a bad review but our dog got kinda strange. Ended up peeing and pooping in the house. We've left her alone for 12 hours and she held it well. Maybe for other reasons this would be good. It did calm her but the side effects were not worth it.

This had the exact opposite effect on my dog. We rescued her from a dog hoarding situation at around 6 months old and she's scared of everything, has no boundaries and refuses to listen to commands when she's in one of her freak outs. She's crazy on a good day and I was really hoping this would help her relax and stop being so anxious and neurotic. I plugged it in and within an hour, she was running around the house, parkouring off every possible surface. My other animals were scurrying around in terror, trying to find a safe place where she wouldn't pounce them in her runs through the house. I thought maybe it was because it was windy outside, and she's scared of everything, so I left it plugged in. We endured 2 days of the little monster terrorizing us, our senior dog and cats, and chewing through anything she could get her jaws on. She didn't nap or sleep and she was on high alert almost constantly. I unplugged it this morning and she's had a lovely, mostly calm day, with a few minor bouts of insanity, pretty much back to normal almost immediately. I don't know if this does actually work for others, but for my gal's particular brand of mental illness, this wasn't effective AT ALL. Back to the drawing board in finding ways to keep her calm. Attaching a photo of my little Peanut, because she's cute as can be, when she isn't acting like my house is an obstacle course with edible pieces.

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!!!!!
