DAP Collar 

DAP NOW AVAILABLE AS COLLAR

CEVA Animal Health have added to their range of innovative pheromone products by launching the new DAP Collar, to compliment the use of the well established diffuser and spray formulations, used inside the home or veterinary practice.

Proven to help comfort both puppies and adult dogs in challenging situations outside, the DAP Collar is recommended;
To help a puppy settle into a new environment away from his mother and siblings
To help a rescue dog adjust to a new home and family
To help dogs remain calm during a stay in kennels
To ensure a puppy's first experiences of new activities are positive, especially during the socialisation period
To help dogs cope with novel and unpredictable situation away from the home
To help dogs exhibiting fear related reactions outside the home when encountering traffic, other dogs, thunderstorms, gunshots etc.

The DAP Collar works by releasing a constant stream of synthetic dog appeasing pheromone for a period of about 4 weeks. The dog appeasing pheromone is a substance produced naturally by a lactating bitch to reassure and calm her puppies, as they explore and learn about the world around them.

Importantly this pheromone is also proven to have a positive relaxing and comforting influence on adult dogs, increasing their confidence in the outside world and make the process of accepting new or difficult stimuli more relaxed and less challenging.

Combining the DAP Collar with the DAP Diffuser may provide optimum results for dogs showing indoor and outdoor fears and for puppies or adult dogs settling into a new home. In multi-dog households, it is recommended that all the dogs wear a DAP Collar or that a DAP Diffuser used. The DAP Collar should be left on the dog at all times.

FAQ's

What activates the DAP Collar?
Close contact with the dog's skin, as well as the body temperature, allows the release of the pheromone.

How tight should the DAP Collar be attached to the dog?
The collar should be in close contact with the skin, like a flea collar, but with at least one finger fitting between the collar and dog.

Does the DAP Collar need to be stretched before it is placed on the dog?
No specific handling is required before placing the DAP Collar.

How should the DAP Collar be worn with other collars and bandanas?
The DAP Collar should be worn along side the regular collar or chain, so it is in contact with the skin. The DAP Collar can be worn with a flea and tick collar. Do not cover the DAP Collar with another collar or bandana. Do not use a Citronella collar with the DAP Collar as that scent interferes with the perception of pheromones. Do not use an anti-bark collar with the DAP Collar as anti-bark collars deliver a punitive message that is not recommended for behavior modification.

How quickly will the dog respond once the DAP Collar is placed on a dog's neck?
When the collar is placed, the perception of the Dog Appeasing Pheromone by the dog is immediate. However, as in every behavior program, the visible improvement in specific behaviors requires some time, depending on a variety of factors: the dog, the nature, duration and severity of the problem, and behavior modification (dog and owner). Usually, an improvement in specific behavior signs is seen during the first two weeks after wearing the Collar, but some dogs require a month to exhibit visible improvement.

How long will a DAP Collar be effective?
The DAP Collar is expected to release the pheromone for 30 days. The Collar will stop diffusing pheromone suddenly and clients usually notice a behavior change in their dog by the next day.

How can the dog owner evaluate success with the DAP Collar?
It is recommended to have the veterinarian regularly evaluate progress regarding the dog's behavior issues and decide when to stop using the Collar.

Will other dogs in the house be affected by a DAP Collar worn on one dog?
No, the pheromone is diffused in the immediate vicinity of the dog wearing the DAP Collar.

Will a person, cat or other animal be affected by a DAP Collar worn on a dog?
No, the Dog Appeasing Pheromone is species specific and has no effect on any other species besides dogs.

Can the DAP Collar be hung in a car or the house or left in a kennel?
No, close contact with the dog, as well as body temperature, is required to activate the collar.

Can the DAP Collar be cut to fit?
Yes, cutting the collar does not reduce efficacy.

What happens if a dog eats or chews on a DAP Collar?
The collar is made of plastics, so there could be a foreign body reaction. There are no toxic substances in the collar.

What are the warnings for people handling the DAP Collar?
The collar is not a toy so it should be kept out of reach of children. Contact with the collar while on the dog should not be a problem.

Can the DAP Collar get wet?
If the collar gets wet, it should be taken off and wiped dry in order to maintain continual release of pheromone. It can then be replaced on the dog with no loss of efficacy.

Can the dog be bathed or swim while wearing the DAP Collar?
It is not recommended to bathe a dog or let the dog swim while wearing the collar.

Will the DAP Collar stain white-coated dogs?
The collar will not stain the coat of white dogs under dry or wet conditions.

What happens if the DAP Collar is exposed to heat in the environment?
There will be some evaporation of the pheromone if it is taken out of the package and warmed, so the duration of activity may be shortened.

What is the dating on the DAP Collar?
The collar has a shelf life of three years, if it is stored in its original packaging in a dry place.

How is the Dog Appeasing Pheromone added to the DAP Collar?
The pheromone is added to the inert ingredients used in the manufacturing of the Collar in a liquid form, then heated and dried to give the Collar its final shape. This process is similar to collars that are infused with other ingredients.
