 Give D.A.P. a try. It worked for me. July 5, 2006

I have a lab mix dog who is very frightened of thunder, lightning, rain, fireworks, or even a loud noise next door. He shivers and tries to hide or usually he tries to climb up my back and sit on my head (he's 50 lbs). If it's raining at night I don't get a good night's sleep because he's so frantic. For a while there we were just locking him in the bathroom, waiting until he stopped freaking out and would keep him there while we slept. All the while he was still freaking out, but only silently. We tried benadryl and even valium to no avail. With valium he would freak out while the noise was going on then after it was over he'd sleep all day. I was very skeptical about D.A.P. but I got some of the spray anyway because I was desperate. I can't believe how great it works. I spray some on a bandana and tie it around his neck. Now if it's raining he is much more calm. At night he can sleep in the bed with us if it's raining and he doesn't try to sit on my head anymore. Today is the 4th of July and there are fireworks going off everywhere. Normally he'd be shivering, whimpering and clawing at me. This time, with D.A.P., he's still quite concerned about the noises, but he is just sitting there quite. He doesn't like it, but he's not freaking out. This is the only product that has actually done something to curb his phobia of thunderous noises. A dozen thumbs way up. Oh, and five stars.

My wife and I adopted a 1yr.old German Shorthaired Pointer from the Oregon Humane Society in August. Those of you familiar w/ the breed know they are very high energy. This particular guy came w/ no history. So, we knew we had our work cut out for us. We quickly learned that he had an extreme case of seperation anxiety. If left alone for any amount of time in any place he would become so panic striken that he lost all control of his bodily functions. The behaviorist at OHS quickly recommended this product to us along w/ the name of a vet that could prescribe medicication for the short term. Of course, we were skeptical of the D.A.P. because of the usage instructions. At first, it seemed like it was just another hook to get $30 (pet store price) a month out of our wallets. The vet medication came and went with little success in behavior modification. It just seemed to make him very tired all the time. After the first month of D.A.P. use however we were pleasantly suprised to find that when crated in the room with the DAP diffuser he could be left w/o incident for small periods of time. After about the 3rd month, his anxiety issues were reduced to a little whining here and there. Thinking the problem was solved, we discontinued use, attributing the progess to him feeling comfortable in the home w/ us. BIG MISTAKE. After approximately 3 weeks his behavior showed signs of being erractic again, and after a month we were back to anxious tension. So, needless to say we are back to using D.A.P. and he's doing very well. The bottom line is that this product may not be a quick fix, but I can assure you, from my own experience, that it DOES provide considerable relief for pet separation anxiety when given sufficient time.
Surprised this actually works! June 22, 2007

My husband and I recently adopted a 6 year old Labrador Retriever that suffered terribly from separation anxiety whenever we left her alone. For the first three months we had her one of us was forced to stay home because she would become extremely destructive if we both left to buy groceries, go to the bank or anything else. Brand new steel crates were torn to shreds, welds broken, bars bent. Crate floors, both the tough plastic kind and replacements we made from 1 inch thick plywood, were utterly destroyed. And then there was the frantic barking that our neighbors, who live 3 acres away, heard the entire time we were gone -- this through closed insulated windows! We tried EVERYTHING short of doggie tranquilizers to calm this normally happy dog down -- a calm routine, food filled kongs, homeopathic stress relievers, aromatherapy, lights on, lights off, televisions on and off, views out the window, no views at all, sneaking out the door, feeding her heavy meals, taking her on long walks beforehand, making sure she's relieved herself, turning down the air conditioner, even parking the car at a distance so she wouldn't hear the doors close. Absolutely nothing worked. We always came home to complete havoc, with fur, water and crate materials everywhere. So when we stumbled upon the Comfort Zone DAP diffuser we figured, what the heck, it was certainly worth a try! Either that or we'd never get to go to the movie theater again. :-(
We plug the Comfort Zone diffuser in about a half hour before we leave the house. The dog is still confined to a crate (a place she normally enjoys when we're home) and is given filled kongs and other treats. She has water to drink and we still leave a television on in an adjacent room. And now when we come home we find her to be very relaxed, sometimes even sleeping, with no signs of destruction and no one reporting frantic yelping. To us, this is a real miracle! We're already leaving our dog for up to four hours at a time with no problems, a real godsend for us because we live in a very rural location far from shopping, banks, theaters, post office, doctors, etc. And today we're going to go to the movies for the first time since we got her. Yay! :-)
The bottom line: This product works for our particular dog. I wish it wasn't so expensive to use since the bottle is reported to last only 4 weeks. Even so, it's worth it to us just for the peace of mind that our dog is no longer miserable when we have to be away from her.
Would that they'd had something like this for people back when we had teenagers! I would have bought it by the case! ;-)

Sadly to say the product did nothing for our dog. It could be that our dog is peculiar, so I wouldn't count it out yet. For me, I'm not buying the refill.
