Have anyone used "Copmfort Zone Plug-In"??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Akina · 02-06-2007, 11:15 AM

I found this product from "Doctors Foster and Smith" website.
It supposes to calm dog down and relieves separation anxiety and so on.
It is little expensive so if you have any feedback, that will be a big help for me to decide!!!

I have used it in the past. And, my experience is that my furbabies had a tendency to sleep for hours on end day and night. So, in that aspect of calming, I guess it does work.

Yes I bought it for Buddy when he was 1yrs old. I think it helped his
anxiety when I left in the morning.

Thanks, good to know.
I'll go ahead try it since I feel so guilty leaving her at home during day time.... (I do come home for lunch but still she is alone most of the day....)

I was just looking at that in the Foster and Smith catalog and wondered if it would help Pixie to calm down when I leave and out her in the playpen. She currently screams the whole time. The only thing I worry about is I have 2 other dogs. Does it matter the size of the dog. Pixie is 3 lbs.

Nope! Size does not matter. At the time I had a 130lb mastiff and a 2.5lb Mini Muffin - Yorkie of course. Worked on both of them...

Turn the raido on to the instrumental music for company and to help calm her.

Patti · 02-06-2007, 05:38 PM

Thanks for the reply. I will order one.

I just looked at the catalog and I think I'm going to order it. It's worth a try. Thanks everyone for their imput.

Rudy gets so upset when I have to leave for work and he has to go in his crate.

I was looking at this (not sure if it was exactly the same name) at Petsmart the other day. It was $49.00 and the refills were like $24.00 or something.... let us know if it works, ok?

Ooh, wonder if that would work for Hoku? I'm trying to transition her from her crate to her ex-pen during the day and it is not working

I have the product and it seems to work for our puppy. She still objected to being left alone, but seemed to calm down faster and goes to sleep now when we leave her in her pen.

We also found another product which is an herbal treat you give to your dog called "Quiet Moments". It works reeeally well. I had to cut the pill size down to 1/4-1/2 the pill for her. 1/2 the pill puts her to sleep for quite a while. The 1/4 pill makes her drowsy and calm, but doesn't put her "out" like the 1/2 pill does. She's 4.25 lbs. The only down side to this product is that after it wears off, there is a slight rebound effect afterward and she seems more active and excitable for maybe a couple of hours.
