Re: Adaptil collars

Thank you very much George for your reply, and for posting my enquiry on Facebook. I don't use Facebook myself so thank you for passing on the very helpful reply from Teagh Lach.

Thank you Marion for your suggestion. I would love to adopt another greyhound, but unfortunately my current circumstances do not make this possible. Should things change however ...

And finally, thank you Teresa for your reply and for your helpful suggestions. That's given me some new ideas to consider.

It's good to know that Adaptil collars are safe for greyhounds, and that they can be helpful if combined with other supplements. And I shall of course be continuing working with the behaviour specialist. Kitty really enjoys these sessions, and until this latest set-back she was really responding very well.

Thank you all!

Re: Adaptil collars

This may not be a realistic option for you, Jo, but have you thought about adopting another, really steady, greyhound to reassure her? When I lost a boy lurcher years ago my girl lurcher became really nervous in many situations but she recovered her confidence in full when I adopted my first greyhound, Kim. Celia and Jimmy would be able to advise.

Re: Adaptil collars

Hi Jo,,

I've never tried Adaptil collars, but did get Lola a Thundershirt last year at fireworks time. I also used it when taking her out after she developed a fear of crowds and started trying to bolt when she saw the kids from school coming towards her. It definitely helped to calm her down. I also got Nutracalm from the vet, which had varying degrees of success.

Good luck

Teresa
