The Ceva Adaptil Transport Travel Spray for Dogs is the travel spray from the Adaptil range, sold as Adaptil Transport: a 60 ml bottle of the dog appeasing pheromone for the car, the crate and the vet's waiting room.
Key Features
- 60 ml bottle, approximately 50 sprays.
- Copies the appeasing pheromone a mother dog produces while nursing her puppies.
- Made for situations a plug-in diffuser cannot reach: car journeys, crates and carriers, boarding, and vet or grooming visits.
- Spray onto the car seat, a blanket, the inside of a crate, a bandana or bedding - not onto the dog.
- Each application lasts roughly 4 to 5 hours.
- Drug-free. Ceva states it can be used alongside other medication or treatment.
- The pack is branded Adaptil Transport in some markets and Adaptil Travel Spray in others - the same product.
How To Use
- Spray 8 to 10 pumps onto bedding, the car seat, the inside of a crate or a bandana.
- Wait 10 to 15 minutes before your dog gets in, so the alcohol carrier evaporates.
- Reapply roughly every 4 to 5 hours on a long journey.
- Never spray it directly onto your dog, and never into a crate your dog is already in.
Good To Know
- It is an alcohol-based spray. Keep it away from heat, flame and eyes, do not inhale it, and read the cautions on the bottle before first use.
- Always let it dry for 10 to 15 minutes before your dog gets in. Spraying and loading straight away is the most common reason people think it has not worked.
- The alcohol carrier can mark some fabrics and interior trim. Test a hidden patch of the car seat first.
- Do not leave the bottle in a parked car in UAE summer heat. Store it out of direct sun and below 30 C.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- A pheromone spray will not stop true travel sickness or severe travel panic. If your dog drools heavily, vomits or panics in the car, talk to your vet - there is proper medication for both.
- Ceva states on the pack that this is not a sedative or a tranquilliser. It does not make a dog drowsy - it changes how secure a situation feels to them.
- Adaptil copies the pheromone a nursing mother dog produces. It is a dog signal; it has no effect on cats or people.
- Never leave a dog in a parked car in the UAE, sprayed or not. Interiors reach lethal temperatures within minutes even with the windows cracked.
- A dog that suddenly becomes anxious or reactive may be in pain or unwell. Have a vet check them before assuming it is behavioural.
