D.A.P., an acronym for dog-appeasing pheromone, comforts
and calms anxious, nervous, and otherwise emotionally upset dogs. D.A.P.
is available in an electric diffuser for continuous use in the home,
a spray for use in your vehicle, on targeted areas, or in strange locations,
and in small and large collars for use in and outside the home. These
products help stop stress-related symptoms and behaviors, including
excessive vocalization, scratching, urination, defecation, loss of appetite,
loss of interest in playing, and others. They are ideal when there are
unfamiliar animals or pets around your dog, during grooming, travel,
or crating, when there are recurring loud noises such as those from
fireworks, construction, or thunder, and any other time environmental
factors are stressful for your pet.
