Adaptil Diffuser - Gentle, Proven Calming Support for Dogs
Adaptil Diffuser is a clinically proven plug-in pheromone diffuser designed to help dogs feel calm and secure in their home environment. This dog calming diffuser mimics the natural dog appeasing pheromones that mother dogs release to comfort their puppies - helping reduce anxiety during times of stress like storms, fireworks, being home alone, or moving house.
Each Adaptil Calm Home Diffuser for dogs covers 50–70m² and is ideal for use in the main room your dog spends time in. It’s odourless, drug-free, and safe to use alongside training or medication. If you're looking to buy an Adaptil diffuser in Australia, The Vet Shed offers fast delivery and the best price on Adaptil diffusers and refills.
This trusted canine pheromone diffuser is widely used by vets and behaviourists as a natural calming solution for dogs with anxiety, stress, or fear-based behaviours. It’s also a great option for dogs experiencing separation anxiety, noise phobia, or changes in their environment.
You can buy Adaptil diffuser refills (48ml) separately, or bundle with the Adaptil Collar or Adaptil Spray for a more comprehensive approach.

FAQs – Using the Adaptil Diffuser Correctly
Where should I plug in the diffuser?
Plug it into a socket in the room where your dog spends most of their time, such as near their bed. Make sure there’s at least 1.2 metres of clear space above the diffuser so the calming vapours can circulate properly.
Where should I avoid plugging it in?
Do not plug the diffuser behind doors, under furniture, or into sockets without 1.2m of clear space above. Avoid using it in power boards, international adapters, extension cords or sockets controlled by a wall switch.
How many diffusers do I need?
One diffuser covers an area up to 70m². You may need more than one for large homes or multi-storey layouts. Plug a unit into each level for full coverage.
How long does each diffuser and refill last?
Each refill lasts up to 30 days. Even if there’s a small amount of liquid left, replace it every 4 weeks. Replace the diffuser unit itself every 6 months of continuous use for best results.
How quickly does it start working?
It becomes fully effective within 24 hours of plugging in. For anticipated stressful events (like fireworks), plug it in 2–3 days ahead of time.
Should I unplug the diffuser at night?
No — for continuous comfort, the diffuser should stay plugged in 24/7. Turning it off may reduce its effectiveness.
Can I use other refills with the Adaptil diffuser?
No — only use genuine ADAPTIL Calm refills. Using other brands or incompatible refills can damage the diffuser and reduce safety.
Is it recyclable?
The refill bottles are made from recyclable PET plastic. The cardboard packaging can be recycled with your paper waste.
What is the shelf life of the refills?
36 months (3 years). You’ll find the expiry date printed on the packaging.
How can I tell if the diffuser is working?
The diffuser will feel warm to the touch when operating. If unsure, ensure it’s switched on, the wick isn’t damaged, and try a different socket if needed. Be patient — the liquid diffuses slowly, so visible drops may take a week to appear.
Why is there a mark on my wall or shelf?
This may happen if the diffuser is placed under or near furniture. The oily vapours may re-condense on nearby surfaces. Always allow 1.2m clearance above and don’t place it under shelving or near protruding objects.
Can I use it near air conditioning or open windows?
Avoid placing it near vents, drafts, air extractors or open windows. These may cause the product to evaporate faster than normal, reducing its effectiveness.
How does Adaptil work?
Adaptil mimics natural “appeasing messages” mother dogs release to reassure their puppies. These pheromones are only detected by dogs and help reduce anxiety in stressful situations.
How soon will I see a difference in my dog?
Some dogs show improvements within the first 7 days, but others may take longer depending on their stress levels. We recommend using the diffuser for at least 30 days to see full results.
How long should I use Adaptil for?
Continuous use is ideal, especially for dogs prone to stress. It helps maintain a calm, secure home environment. Minimum use time is one month.
When is the best time to use it?
Use Adaptil to help with common stress triggers like being left alone, loud noises, visitors, or changes in the home. It provides ongoing support for dogs with anxiety or fear-related behaviours.
Where should I use the diffuser?
In the main room where your dog spends most of their time — often near their sleeping area or crate.

Actually works
By: Jane on 7 February 2023I was gifted a sample to trial and review To start with once I received the product sample I was very iffy about it and whether it works. I tried it and to start with I was like yeah this isn't working, but then we had a Thunderstorm and I noticed my dog was better than normal in a Thunderstorm. Also I've noticed he sleeps better and just coincidence so do I..

Calm Great Dane
By: Jane on 5 February 2023My Great Dane dog is beautiful. She can intimated by visitors, bark at shadows past our front door and be on high alert. Since using this product, I've noticed she is more relaxed. Yes she still barks but isn't running through the whole house at the smallest thing It's been really lovely to cuddle up with her and play tug of war with her toys. Wish I had this product earlier.

helps a bit
By: Jane on 3 February 2023I have been using this for about 2 weeks and have not found much improvement. My dog is scared of everything and is still shaking with loud noises. It will be interesting to see if it helps next time a thunder storm occurs. Its quite expensive so I dont know if I would purchase a refil to continue.

Well worth it!
By: Jane on 3 February 2023https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8AnHS2Y/ I love Adaptil Calm Home Diffuser! I have seen a marked improvement in my dogs’ behaviour. I put it in the lounge room and they have become much calmer and more relaxed in just a few days. They sleep much more soundly and remain in the one spot through the whole night. It doesn’t stop them barking at things from the front door but that is their job! They are not barking nearly as much through the day when I am at work though which is a huge bonus. It's easy to use, just plug it in, and it helps keep stress and anxiety levels at bay. I'm glad I tried Adaptil Diffuser! It's such a great product and I would highly recommend it to anybody who has a pup with anxiety issues. * I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.

Good idea, need more time to tell if effective tho
2 February 2023My dog suffers from separation anxiety so we decided to give this product a go. We don't like to leave him at home too long, at most 3-4 hours at a time and it doesn't happen very often as there is usually someone at home. He was able to last a longer 4 hour stretch on one occasion but was a bit vocal and whiny when we arrived back, like he really really missed us. After about a week's use, I am not convinced it made a lot of difference (if any) but maybe need some more time to tell. I like the ease of use of this product, although it is quite expensive and ongoing cost is quite high. Disclaimer: I was gifted a product sample to trial and review

Unfortunately this product didn’t work
By: Jane on 2 February 2023Either this machine is broken or my dog is. I honestly don’t think this did a thing to calm my dog or make her feel comforted at home, if anything I actually observed worse than normal behaviour while using it. I set the machine up right next to her bed so there is no chance she wasn’t exposed to the scent. The diffuser itself is also really tall so it only just fit in my powerpoint (I have an old house and all the powerpoints are just above the floorboards). For context I have a cavoodle that is just over 1. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review

Great product to reduce separation anxiety
By: Jane on 2 February 2023Slinky, my miniature dachshund, has had separation anxiety for 2 years now. It's been hard to deal with as I've tried everything from crate training to supplement tablets. Thought I'd give Adaptil a go and whilst it hasn't completely got rid of his separation anxiety, he's definitely a lot more calmer when I cpme back home after leaving him alone for a few hours.

Soothe your best friend's stress with this incredi
By: Jane on 31 January 2023The Adaptil Diffuser is a great product for pet owners who want to reduce their pet's stress and anxiety levels. The diffuser uses essential oils to help calm and soothe pets in stressful situations. It's very easy to use and comes with a detailed instructions manual that makes it easy to understand how to use it effectively. I used the diffuser for my dog who gets separation anxiety, and I have to say that I'm impressed with the results. Within a few minutes of turning it on, my dog was noticeably calmer and more relaxed. The scent of the oils is also very pleasant and not overpowering. It's a great alternative to prescription medications, which can have side effects. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a natural way to reduce their pet's stress and anxiety levels. Overall, I'm very satisfied and will continue to use it for my dog. It's a great product that is well worth the investment for pet owners who want to improve their pet's quality of life. There's also a money back guarantee. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.

Worked Ok Adaptil Diffuser
By: Jane on 30 January 2023We have a Black Labrador and tried the Adaptil Diffuser . I found it to work ever so slightly. Our dog suffers from load noises and load voices. I found using the above product has made her follow me around more than she did before. Her eating and sleeping really hasnât changed. I would say itâs worth having even it has changed here just that little bit. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.

Works well.
By: Jane on 17 October 2016My dog has severe anxiety so she needs a bit more to help her than this. However our other dog is a rescue dog who gets separation anxiety and since using it there has no accidents inside so happy.
