Adaptil Junior Collar for Puppies
Welcoming a new puppy into your home is a joyful experience, but it can also be overwhelming for your young companion. The Adaptil Junior Collar for Puppies provides gentle reassurance to help your puppy settle in, learn and grow with confidence.
This innovative collar releases a synthetic version of the natural pheromone produced by mother dogs to comfort and support their puppies. It helps reduce stress-related behaviours such as crying, restlessness and separation anxiety, allowing your puppy to feel secure and calm as they adjust to new surroundings.
The Junior Collar offers up to 30 days of continuous calming support, helping puppies adapt to new homes, training routines and social environments.
Simply fit the collar snugly around your puppy’s neck, ensuring skin contact for best results and leave it on continuously, except during bathing or grooming. The gentle pheromone scent is odourless to humans and other pets, yet instantly reassuring to dogs.
Perfect for use from 8 weeks of age, the Adaptil Junior Collar is an ideal companion for puppy parents who want to build a foundation of calm, positive behaviour during their dog’s most important development stage.
What is the Adaptil Junior Collar used for?
The collar is designed to help puppies feel calm and secure during their early months, particularly when settling into a new home, sleeping alone for the first time, or adapting to training and routines.
How does it work?
The collar releases a pheromone that mimics the natural comforting scent a mother dog produces for her puppies. This helps reduce stress and promote feelings of safety and wellbeing.
When should I start using it?
You can use the Adaptil Junior Collar from 8 weeks old, which is typically when puppies first leave their mother. It’s most effective when used for the first few months in a new home.
How long does one collar last?
Each collar provides up to 30 days of continuous support. Replace it every month to maintain its calming effect.
Can my puppy wear the collar all the time?
Yes, the collar is designed for continuous wear, both indoors and outdoors. It should only be removed for baths or grooming, as water can affect the pheromone release.
Is it safe for all breeds?
Yes. The Adaptil Junior Collar is suitable for all breeds of puppies under approximately 15-20 kg. Once your dog outgrows it, you can switch to an Adaptil Calm Collar.
Will people or other pets smell the pheromone?
No, the pheromone is odourless and non-sedative, meaning it won’t affect humans or other animals in the household.
How do I fit the collar correctly?
Place the collar around your puppy’s neck and tighten it so you can fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and their skin. It must stay in contact with the skin to release the pheromone effectively.
Can I use it alongside other calming products?
Yes. The collar can be safely used with other Adaptil products, such as diffusers or sprays, for additional reassurance during particularly stressful periods.
What signs might show it’s working?
You may notice your puppy becomes calmer, more confident, and less vocal or clingy within a few days of wearing the collar. Consistent use helps build positive, lasting behaviour patterns.
