Calmex Plug in Diffuser Starter Kit for Cats and Dogs

Why did you choose this product over others?: Had used the Calmex Car Diffuser from having my dog at 8wks & from first car ride experience she coped really well & I still have no problems at 2yrs old with car journeys & she doesn't have regular trips out in the car & I haven't had a diffuser in the car for 8 mths. I decided to buy diffuser for the house as at 18mths she started to be more unsettled & vocal, her second firework night she showed fear & hiding, loud noises suddenly affected her. From 8wks on homing her I had used Adaptil consistently but then stopped as I wanted to see if/how as she was maturing, what her behaviour needed. After her second Nov 5th & Christmas/New Year, I decided to try Calmex based on how introducing her to being in a car had been. It is quite a strong smell when new, actually gave me a headache, but I'm pleased with her behaviour & reaction to stress, her barking at the TV has reduced as well but then I have also taken responsibility & been more aware of her triggers & she is now 2yrs old so still young. It's made a difference & I will continue to use rather than calming supplements.

Used this when moving into our new house. Seemed to clam the cats for the first few weeks we were in. It has a lovely smell too although it does go quite quickly if the plug is left on all the time

Definitely helped calm my dog on stressful days.

Just did not do what it says on the tin. It stank the house out and the dogs were no less active!

I was recommended this off someone I know ....It has been plugged in a few days now and ''doesn't seem to be effectively making any difference'' in fact my smallest cat seems to be ''more hyper than calming effect and licking all the fur off his tummy'' The smell is ok...I wont be buying again. I have tried others that claim to work but they don't on my cats :-(....UPDATE: I have been using this Calmex diffuser now for over over 3 months and it hasn't made the slightest difference to my cats behaviour... :-(

I got this for when we brought our puppy home and had it on a few days prior. I really think it helped as noticed our cat was much more chilled. Cat and puppy now get along happily (mostly!)

I cannot recommend more highly. Within 1 hour of plugging the diffuser in, I could approach a feral kitten that had been super aggressive and begin to start socialising her. Within days she was approachable, was purring and accepting strokes. I honestly was beginning to think she would not calm down, but Calmex did the trick.

Product does have a distinct smell but not unpleasant,I used it late afternoon and evening and it seems to have settled our dog down and he seems a lot happier. If it carries on working I would say that it is good value
