Dog Separation Anxiety Update - Cure?

I truly am a huge skeptic and I thought buying the dog pheromones was going to be a huge waste of money.  Color me very very wrong.  The Farnam Comfort Zone Plug-in with D.A.P. is the most amazing product I’ve ever seen for dogs.  Cricket has been a little monster since her second knee surgery.  She barked constantly while we were downstairs having breakfast, she went nuts when I showered and even looked like I might be leaving the house, she yapped at the cats.  It’s been five days of using Comfort Zone and her behavior has changed dramatically.  You’re probably going to keep hearing me yammer on about how her separation anxiety, uncontrollable barking and her general disposition have improved since using the pheromones.  I keep walking past her with my shoes on just to try to get a reaction and…nothing!  I can’t guarantee that it’ll work for any dog, but we tried Acepromazine on her, plus all of the herbal remedies and nothing else worked.  I wish I could buy stock in the company, but alas, they haven’t gone public.

Stay tuned - we got the Comfort Zone with Feliway for Cats today in the mail.  Since their snarling, hissing, spitting and fighting is worse than Cricket’s barking, I’m hoping for a miracle for them too.  If it works on them, I’m going to walk around Las Vegas with a sandwich board and advertise the product on the streets.  I’ll make an informercial.  Geez, it could help probably millions of pet owners around the world, just with a little plug-in that doesn’t have any scent.  Uh, unless you plug it in upside-down.  Read the directions and don’t do that.  The bottle goes underneath the diffuser…otherwise it smells pretty icky.  We haven’t smelled the doggie diffuser at all.

1. Hi, I was searching the web trying to find something to help with my dog’s separation anxiety problem and found your blog.  Lot’s infomration!!  I am wondering if you are still using The Farnam Comfort Zone Plug-in with D.A.P and it still work for you?  I have a 5 month old Dachshund.  I think I spoil him too much.  Neighbors complain he barks non stop whole day long during the day.

   Thank you very much!
