Donating YT 30K Club Member | Tried Comfort Zone and it worked. I am in the process of having hardwood floors installed everywhere but the bedrooms. My girls are not use to people in the house or going out in the car much. I have to be out of the house a few days during the day and then one night in a hotel. Connie said that the Comfort Zone spray helped calm her Maddie on car rides. Cali had to go to the vet yesterday for her rabies and I sprayed it in the car 15 minutes prior to taking her. I opened her carrier and she stayed in it the whole time,no panting, no restlessness. She just laid down the whole time. I won't normally give it to her for small trips, but I wanted to test it out for the times we need to be out for hours and at the hotel. The flor guys are making a terrible racket and I was going to take them out for the day but had no where to go so I gave Pixie and Roxie the Nutricalm and sprayed the Comfort zone in my bedroom and they have just laid quietly since 8:00 am. I am so happy that it works as I don't want them stressed out as it is taking a long time to get the floors in. Mt daughters friend did this kind of work until he hurt his back. He said by him and I doing the ripping out of carpeting and laminate flooring he could save me some money! Never again. What a job. We have been doing it for 5 days and now the floor guys take over. Thank God! But I am very impressed with the comfort zone. Hopefully they will settle down in the hotel Monday.

| Patti that is amazing! I'm so glad you found something that worked. I think I may want to try it. How about Pixie? Have you tried using it for her "issues"?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I sprayed the room so she was exposed to it, but U also gave her her nutricalm. They have been using these loud nail guns and drills and hammering and Pixie has not barked once. They have all been extremely good. I thought for sure I would have to take them out every day, but between the Comfort Zone and Nutricalm it has been fine. I am going to spray the car tomorrow before I take them to the groomers. Pixie has never been to a groomer, so I am going to also give her Nutricalm. I am curious to find out if the Comfort zone will work for Pixie and her fear of rain, thunder and now planes. I will let you know.

| Interesting! Jackson is terrified of the vet, and thunder. I wonder if it would help that. I'll look into it. Glad it's working!

| Cooper loves the vet but his Thundershirt doesn't seem to be helping so much anymore. I think I'll buy this just to keep on hand. I hate those late night terrifying thunderstorms.

All my dogs shake so bad when I take them to the vet. The last time I took Maddie in, I sprayed some on my shirt and then held her at the vet. She still wasn't happy to be there, but much calmer than the norm.

| Patti, I'm glad you found something that works for the girls. I will have to keep this in mind for when we get back to house projects. We have put off having anything done because the boys go crazy. We need to replace our roof, which will be almost as noisy as your flooring installation, although not inside.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I had to be out of the house at 8 am this morning and can't go back until tomorrow night. So I spent the day at my DIL's until I could get into the hotel at 3 pm. I used the comfort zone several times so far. Mostly for Cali who is more restless. I have been at the hotel for 3 hours and sprayed it when I got here. Other than Cali and Roxie doing some exploring they have been very good. A few barks when they heard noises but otherwise so far so good. Pixie has slept in her carrier or the bed the whole day. So either they are better behaved than I thought they would be or the comfort zone is really effective. I think it is a bit of both. I definitely feel the comfort zone works very well. Cali goes to sleep within 15 minutes of spraying it. Pixie I think is just so scared she sleeps anyways and Roxie usually follows Puxies lead. I can't wait until the floors are done and we can get back to our routine. Also it's lonely and sad being alone in a hotel without Ken.

| We use Bio-Calm on our dogs and cats when we need to, like before we moved and on long car rides. |
