5.0 out of 5 stars Magic Juice!, January 14, 2006

By

(REAL NAME)   

When we brought our puppy home he had pretty severe separation anxiety. He was great with us around but got very very stressed out whenever we left. I was home Thursday for a doctor appointment and sleeping, the girls put him in his crate to go to school and he was very upset. He would not calm down and whined, barked, etc. for a full hour straight before I got up and got him out. Then of course he was so worn out he just about passed out on my chest for an hour. He did it again when I was at the doctor, etc. I was getting worried about him so I did some research and at the Drs. Foster Smith site it mentioned a new product called Comfort Zone,
I picked it up Thursday afternoon and plugged it in Thursday evening. Within 10 minutes he wasn't hiding insecurely at my feet anymore but prancing and playing across the room. He slept through the night. He didn't even wake when I left at 5:00 AM for work Friday. When my daughter got home from school Friday he gave only one little yip of hello and then waited patiently for her to get settled and come get him! It should be called Magic Juice!

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never know if it would work on your dog until you try it., January 6, 2011

This review is from: Farnam Comfort Zone DAP for Dogs Diffuser, 48ML (Misc.)

I think it is ridiculous how this amazon page doesn't show this information. But here are some statistics to start off with:

Clinical studies show Comfort Zone with D.A.P.® helps reduce:
* Destructive behavior in 91% of dogs
* Excessive barking and whimpering in 65% of dogs
* Inappropriate soiling in 75% of dogs

So before I bought this, I obviously read some reviews first. For the most part it is all good, but then you got a few negatives. And many of the negative reviews often so 'don't buy', 'waste of money',... etc. But you have to understand that this won't work on ALL dogs (as you can see on the statistics I pasted above). Don't be discouraged by those negative reviews, because you really won't know if it would work on your dog until you try it.

As for my experience of this product...
I have a 10 week old husky. He has severe separation anxiety, hates being in his crate so he whines and vocalize ALL NIGHT. I bought the comfort zone diffuser and plugged it in right next to his crate. He went through the entire night without making a peep! I woke up in the middle of the night to let him out to use the bathroom and put him right back, and he doesn't even whine about it! It was AMAZING.

Things to note...
A lot of dogs can't sleep through the night because of pent up energy. Comfort zone does not serve as a replacement to release that energy, so you still have to give them exercise.

You won't know if this would work until you try it.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a relief...for both of us!!, June 30, 2006

I cannot say enough good about this product. For me, it meant Bailey would stay. I am the third owner of this 8 month old Pomeranian, but I hadn't known that when I bought him. Once they are in your heart, you want to do the best for them. I had tried many things, but this changed him into a new puppy. He had reminded me of a year old baby while they are cutting teeth...cried constantly, would only eat if I was with him, I couldn't be out of his sight because he'd just lose his mind, wanted held or touched constantly & didn't sleep. Since he gets into everything, for his own safety, I shut him in the bathroom while I'm at work. With this plugged in, he has calmed down, eats his food, and isn't crazy with fear when I release him. He's still excited to see me, but it's a normal dog kind of excitement now. I intend to get more of them to spread throughout the house. I'm hoping that after a few months he'll relax enough that he can be left alone in the house and yard, but at least with this product, we can be a family.
