Fireworks can be a very distressing thing for our pets, particularly when there's an influx during Bonfire Night. On top of that, it feels like the harsh winds are assaulting our homes from all directions which can be difficult for animals. Unfortunately, this may become a more frequent occurrence as we approach the colder months. To try and alleviate our furry friends' anxiety during these times, Amazon is offering a popular budget-friendly solution that is said to create a "relaxing and stress relieving environment" for our canine pals. Usually priced at £25.90, shoppers can now grab the Adaptil Calm Home Diffuser For Dogs for just £18.40 in a limited-time deal. This popular device , which also includes a 30-day refill, currently boasts 20,000 ratings from Amazon shoppers. You can find more our bargain deals and shopping recommendations here. Like standard electronic diffusers, the Adaptil Calm Diffuser simply needs to be plugged into an available socket to start dispersing its soothing scent. This gadget has been designed as an easy-to-use alternative to medication that humans can't detect. Created to assist with stressful situations such as fireworks, thunderstorms, separation anxiety, and parties, the plug emits a synthetic version of a natural pheromone usually released by mother dogs. This is said to be effective on adult dogs as well as puppies. This gadget comes with a 30-day refill scent included, giving pet owners ample time to see if the device helps relax their canine companions. Amazon is currently selling a single refill for £18.79 or a pack of three for £56.97. Amazon is also offering the ProElobara Dog Calming Anxiety Relief Diffuser for the discounted price of £19.99 (RRP £21.99). Offering a safe alternative to medication, this diffuser can cover large rooms and includes a 62 day supply. As an alternative, Pets at Home stocks the Beaphar CaniComfort Calming Starter Pack Diffuser and Plug-In for Dogs for £18 . Complete with a 30 day refill, this plug-in diffuser works effectively in areas up to 70 metres squared. Returning to the Adaptil Calm Diffuser , it has been purchased by over 2,000 pet owners in the past month to help their cherished pets feel relaxed and secure in their homes. One satisfied customer commented: "We plugged this in a week ago and already our dogs are calm. It's a small rounded plug in so looks good and if this effect continues it will be a quality buy, no smell and hoping it lasts 30 days before needing replacement." Another five-star reviewer added: "We ordered this to help calm our dogs on firework day, although it does not stop them from being scared or barking, it 100 per cent makes them feel more calm. "On the days before firework day, we plugged this in as there would be the occasional firework on the lead up to the big day and my dogs slept the whole night (except when a firework went off) and in general were much more calm than usual." Nevertheless, not everyone was satisfied with the Adaptil Calm Diffuser . One person wrote: "It lasted only for 18 days, although the box says 30 days. That's very odd." However, one customer pointed out a problem with the product they received: "This does seem to help my dog but I have just bought a new one and cannot unscrew the lid of the refill to use it." Despite this, a top reviewer praised: "We are very big fans of Adaptil products and have used them for all of our dogs over the years. We keep the plugins going around times when fireworks and thunderstorms are likely. "Our Greyhound was terrified of loud noises, and the Adaptil Plugin gives 30 days of relief and a great calming effect without creating a noticeable smell for humans. They are very easy to use as you just fit them into a conventional three-pin plug and allow them to work until the unit needs a refill." The Adaptil Calm Home Diffuser For Dogs is now available for £20.69 on Amazon.
