Vet Picks
These products lower the baseline. They do not replace behaviour work, and we will tell you that before you pay for them.
What we stock
Adaptil for dogs, Feliway for cats. Plug in three to four weeks before the event you are preparing for.

Constant gentle pressure. Works well for a subset of dogs and not at all for others.
Covered crate, familiar bedding, white noise — the least glamorous and most effective option.
