DAP Collars...

Anyone used one?

I have heard good things about the DAP diffusers but Daisy's problem is with dogs outside so I'm thinking I might try a DAP collar.

Been to pets at home today and they are £35

Which I'm more than happy to pay if it works but if it doesn't I'll be a bit annoyed. We have spent an absolute fortune on various training/behaviour aids since we got her and reluctant to waste more money!

Any comments or good/bad points appreciated!

Thanks

Re: DAP Collars...

I'm going to try the DAP spray for use in the car because Ollie gets stressed whilst travelling. I hope it works. I think for some dogs it does, and some it doesn't.

DAP did nothing for Zig with the new year fireworks.

Re: DAP Collars...

I tried a DAP collar on my lad several years back. I don't think it made much difference TBH but it was very hard to tell.
Always worth a try though as every dog is different?

OP- perhaps worth ordering online as I think they are a fair bit cheaper online?

HERE for example the med-large one is just over £20? If you shopped around you may find one cheaper (+postage?). Better than paying £35 odd, especially if you don't yet know if it'll help?

Re: DAP Collars...

I found the spray works out cheaper in the long run, I used it with my previous rott. It doesn't work for every dog but maybe its worth a try but £35

Re: DAP Collars...

Ive used them for fear and anxiety and still use them for times of stress and fireworks

Collar Small up to 37.5cm £16.99
Large up to 62.5cm £17.29 though might have gone up slightly because of VAT increase.

I get mine from vet medic Vet-Medic - the same medicines as your vet at consistently low prices. 0800 387348 Post free unless you want 1st class which you just pay the extra for.

Re: DAP Collars...

I used both the collar and the spray, I found the collar worked really well, but didn't notice much with the spray.
I did put collar back on in October for fireworks and, again, it helped a lot, together with ttouch, he went trough the bangs fairly calm.

Don't buy from P&H, they are much cheaper online. It also takes a while to see the effect, it says a full month but I noticed improvement with Ray much earlier then that; it is true though that for some dogs they don't make a difference. It is a case of trying as if they do help they really do.

Re: DAP Collars...

Hi, I have used the DAP collar on Louie (approx 10 month old Irish Staffie) to help him through the New Years Eve fireworks and it definitely works!, he was a much calmer dog and the fireworks didn't phase him at all!, I have recently removed the DAP collar as it has probably worn out by now and he is definitely more hyper now!, don't buy your collar from P@H or any other pet store, get them online, I used Vet-Medic and will use them again, no problems, fast delivery and less than £18.00p. wayne.
