DAP collar

[Annlinda]

With the firework season coming up (they start letting them off weeks before bonfire night round here) I was wondering if anyone has tried the new DAP collar for dogs? If you have one does it help?
One of my terriers seems to be more firework phobic as the years go by so I thought I might give one a try.

Hi Ann Ive had everything on the market and nothing has worked.I have two terriers and I think the breed is very prone to this problem the only thing that once helped but did not work fully was tablets from the vets, did not like the side effects my dogs were like zombies and I said never again would resort to this.Where I live , there is a park which have the annul fireworks display so you can see how we are fixed plus the usual pre bangers brigade.I know its terrible for our pets including my three cats.Only thing I can suggest is to turn your telly up very loud and keep them as calm as possible which I know is not easy.I dread it coming up as Im sure alot of pet owners do.I wish they would ban them and we would all have some peace. g

Thanks for replies, Like both of you garner & gipsy I am dreading the fireworks and as the DAP collars are new out I wondered how effective they may be.

Forgot to mention Ive used the dap plug ins but not the collars the plug ins did not do a thing to help. g

I have a Jack Russell terrier and he hates fireworks, I have tried the tablets, plugins and collar and they didn't make a difference he was still running around barking like mad, ive also tried turning the TV up and amusing him with some games and nothing has worked so far. All I do is apologise to my neighbours before hand and hope that this year might be different. But I agree fireworks should be banned before and after 5th Nov. I would welcome any suggestions I can try this year.
