lavender

Have also posted this on the "tried and tested" board. Have been recommended to use lavender as a calming agent for Densil and wondered if anybody else had used this and if it worked. The adaptil sprays and collars and thundershirts have had no effect on him whatsoever. I have got a dogmatic collar which helps a little.

It does work with some dogs.

However, it has to be lavendar essential oil & not just something lavendar scented. Put a couple of very small drops on his bedding and rub another small drop on his chest and maybe his forehead.

Would fresh lavender work?

make sure to put the oil on his fur and not directly on his skin as that could cause irritation

I imagine fresh lavender works as they have it outside the kennels at Battersea Dogs Home
