product review-"Comfort Zone" plug-in thingie

Click to see what the one head means...


My dog had a bad bad bad case of separation anxiety that was making him absolutely psychotic, so I tried almost all avenues before I ultimately had to put him on anti-anxiety meds (clomicalm). Anywho, of course I tried the comfort zone plug-in with the "dog appeasing pheromones" (D.A.P.). It ran me about $30 when the shipping was all said and done, which is alot for me to blow just like that on an experiment, but I did it anyway. I saw absolutely NO difference in his anxiety levels, destructive episodes, etc; I sold it on ebay. A month or two later, a veterinarian friend of mine told me that if you use the pheromone treatment, YOU CANNOT USE ANY OTHER CHEMICAL IN THE AREA THAT IS BEING TREATED OR ELSE IT WILL NEUTRALIZE THE PHEROMONE.

Good to know.

Like, you can't use any air fresheners, carpet cleaners, perfume, NOTHING. That's why it didn't make a difference in Hank's case, I guess. I still don't know if this is true, but I'm taking the doctor's word. It's one of those products that people sell to people who have no idea about how it operates, so they are an easy target for a burning by the company. Has anybody used this thing and had success? Contact me at m@dropthatsock.com if you have. I'd love to know the specifics of your living environment. This product gets one Hank head for being a nasty trick for the dog loving world, of which I am a huge part. Shame, shame.
