ThunderEase Pheromone Calming Spray for Dogs | Drug free and easy to use. Reduce Anxiety During Travel, Vet Visits, Boarding. Powered by Adaptil.

Despite being on prescription medication, my Beagle would experience uncontrollable trembling and could not be comforted during rain or thunderstorms. During our spring rainy season, I decided to try ThunderEase out of desperation, and to my surprise, it worked! Now, during heavy rain or thunder, Roxie remains alert and a bit stiff, but she is no longer frightened or trembling. We don't have to use the medication, which had not been very helpful anyway. I simply spray her favorite blanket at the first sign of rain or thunder and wait 10 minutes for it to take effect. There is no residue left behind, and the alcohol scent dissipates within minutes. Given how fearful Roxie was, I honestly did not expect this product to work, but I am so glad that I gave it a try.

Didn’t seem to work for my dog

This has been a life saver with all these spring storms! It has helped our husky stay more calm during storms. It works best if sprayed 10-15 mins before the storm.

I wish it had helped with his car anxiety. We saw no change. I really wanted it to work because he is miserable in the car and has to go with me every morning. It was worth a try - I know it's not going to work for every dog. I don't blame the manufacturer. I have also tried a calming supplement, treats in the car, and putting his bed in the car, and those things didn't help either.

My little girl mixed breed has a few different “fears” that make her nervous occasionally. Of course, thunder is right up there at the very top. The first year after I had rescued her I noticed thunderstorms made her hide underneath beds, furniture or anywhere that made her feel safe. I felt helpless for her and looked up information about dogs being afraid of loud sounds and found this wonderful product Thunder Ease calming spray. A few days later I experimented with it by spraying her surroundings with this odorless pheromone and it honestly worked like a miracle! She falls asleep within minutes and it doesn’t take much to help her. That was 5 years ago and I’m never without this stuff. It’s in a base which contains alcohol and that’s the only odor this stuff has. That smell rapidly evaporates but the pheromone is on her bed or my bed wherever I sprayed it. She just relaxes and goes to sleep for a few hours. It seems to work better on some dogs. I guess I got lucky and I’ll never be without it! I also take it on car trips. It’s really a lifesaver! I purchase the larger size of 60 ml. The bottle I have now is at least a year old and still works fabulously.

I hope it works for some dog owners but this has not made a bit of difference in my dogs anxiety/behavior. I tried it in hopes of calming her on car rides. She loves to ride but if tends to get really anxious if we don't go to familiar places. I've used it - just as instructed for several car rides and it's absolutely no difference. I love the "no drug" concept to help with anxiety but this just did not work for us. Since I spent the money I will use it until it's gone but so far nothing. The dog is about an 80lb German Shepherd. I will say that after an initial alcohol smell, I don't notice it. I wait the full 15 minutes before I allow her into the car.

I don’t know what this magic stuff is, but it works so well doesn’t irritate my dog. I can’t smell it, but he gets so calm. I used it for when we were flying and it worked so well.

This product has worked as advertised. I have two Golden Retrievers. One dislikes thunder, and he starts panting and getting very clingy when it rumbles outside. After this product arrived, I treated his bed with this spray before the next thunderstorm, and he was quite noticeably less anxious. He was still a little tense,, but freely walking around without breathing heavily. Impressive. The other dog is afraid of going places and meeting new people outside of our own "pack". I sprayed the back of my car before our next venture into the world, and she was visibly calmer throughout the trip, including our arrival at the vet -- a place she usually makes it clear that she'd rather avoid. Both dogs went with us on a 5-hour (each way) trip over spring break, and they did very well, laying down for much of the journey with little or anxiety. It doesn't completely eradicate anxiety, but it isn't presented that way, so I give it 5 stars. This is a helpful product. It's a little pricey, but we don't have to use it all the time.
