Nervous or reactive dogs continually have their anxiety reinforced by people or dogs moving into their comfort zone. These Vests will alert other people to your dog's dislike of being crowded, making it easier to act appropriately and if necessary modify their dog's actions around yours.
The Black Dog Space Vest is a highly visible vest with "In Training Give Me Space!", or "I'm Nervous Give Me Space" message.
The Black Dog Space Vest is crafted from lightweight polyester for long-lasting wear and easy care. Many customers have successfully machine washed the vest; if doing so, we recommend using a gentle cycle and placing it in a laundry wash bag for extra protection.
Not designed to be connected to a lead or to be placed under strain from a lead.

Zylkene is a complimentary feed for cats and dogs that contains a natural product derived from casein, a protein in milk. It is a molecule well known to promote the relaxation of newborns after breastfeeding.
Since its launch Zylkene has become a familiar product for veterinarians, behaviourists, nurses and pet owners world wide. It helps pets cope when facing unusual and unpredictable situations and can be used before occasions such as a change in their normal environment.
Zylkene is palatable and easy to give: simply mix with food or give the whole capsule. It can be given daily and is both preservative and lactose free.
Zylkene can help support dogs and cats in situations where they find they need to adapt their behaviour to cope. These can include kennel and cattery stays, moving house, the arrival of a new pet or baby, sudden noises such as fireworks, travel or festivities. Many cats do not cope well in a multi-cat household.
There are many ways our pets can respond to new and unpredictable situations and not all animals will respond the same way. Even the most seemingly innocuous situations and experiences can trigger your pet's uneasiness when they are in unusual or unpredictable situations.
Different animals are not all susceptible to the same things, for example some dogs enjoy the attention of many people at once whilst some react very differently, hiding away. Similarly, some cats love being picked up but others do not.
Even the most seemingly innocuous situations and experiences can trigger pets discomfort when they are in unusual or unpredictable situations.
Pets express their discomfort in ways that disrupt the relationship with their owners by:
- Showing altered behaviour in relationships with people and other pets.
- Changing habits
- Excessively licking themselves
- Destroying furniture
- Playing less
- Soiling the house
- Barking more
- Hiding
The alpha casozepine in Zylkene is made following best quality standards from the farming of the dairy cows to the casein hydrolysis manufacturing process, which complies with certifications ISO 9001 and ISO 22000.
Zylkene is easy to give in one daily intake. The capsules contain a palatable, water soluble powder that appeals to both dogs and cats. They can be given whole or opened and the powder mixed with food, treats or liquids. Since Zylkene is taken orally and ingested, it is present wherever the pet goes, both inside and outside the house. Water should always be available to your pet.
How to give Zylkene:
For short term use, begin administration 1-2 days before the predicted event or change in environment. Some animals may need earlier administration (5-7 days).
For long term use, start giving Zylkene for one month then reassess the pet.
Association with a behaviour modification program may help in these situations

Created by renowned dog behavioural expert Dr. Roger Mugford, the Pet Corrector uses compressed air to mimic the natural warning hiss that swans and other animals make. When used as part of Dr Roger’s tried and tested W.A.G. training technique, you can disrupt the unwanted behaviour, giving you the opportunity to teach your dog the rules of the house.
How to use:
When you witness bad behaviour, act immediately and give one short burst. Remember to direct the can away from your dog as they only need to hear the noise. When your dog stops the unwanted behaviour, give them a command (e.g. quiet) and reward them, either with lots of praise or a tasty treat.
Safety Cap:
The built-in safety cap gives more accurate activation, so it’s more reliable and is quicker to interrupt those unwanted behaviours. The cap also features a safety seal to ensure the product reaches you in perfect condition. A firm press is required on first use to break the seal, once broken the product will disperse as required.

The Adaptil Collar is a pheromone collar designed to help reduce stress and anxious behaviour in dogs in challenging situations, particularly dogs that live outside.
Adaptil, formally known as DAP, is a synthetic copy of the natural canine appeasing pheromome proven to help support dogs in a range of stressful situations. Adaptil is canine specific, odourless, non-sedative, non-systemic and can be used alongside all other types of medication. The efficacy of Adaptil has been demonstrated in 18 studies published in scientific journals and at veterinary conferences around the world.
When the Adaptil collar is in snug contact with the dog's skin, the dog's body temperature warms the collar and encourages the diffusion of pheromones into the local environment. It is vital the Adaptil Collar is in close contact with the dog's skin at all times.
Adaptil is shown to help puppies settle in a new home and to have significant positive effects on puppy socialisation. Fitting a DAP collar to puppies from 6-16 weeks helps puppies develop into confident, well-behaved adult dogs and significantly reduces the likelihood of anxiety-related conditions developing in later life.
Adaptil has also been shown to help dogs cope in kennels, during rehoming and in a range of other stressful situations such as during fireworks exposure and car travel. Adaptil, formally known as DAP, has been used by behaviourists, veterinary experts and welfare charities for the last 10 years
Each collar lasts 4 weeks and can be replaced as required.
How to fit an Adaptil DAP collar:
- Pass the loop through the end.
- Pass the loop over the head.
- Adjust to fit snugly and trim excess if necessary.
- Check the collar at regular intervals. It must remain close against the dog's neck.
The new collar is grey in colour and now features an improved buckle for fitting. The Adaptil name is also now printed on the collar also in braille.

When plugged into the dog’s environment, the diffuser disperses the dog appeasing pheromone for up to four weeks.
As pheromones are species specific, D.A.P. is not harmful to humans or other animals. D.A.P. is natural, safe and simple to use. The use of pheromones in treating both dogs and cats has been found to be an effective way of helping them to overcome fear and stress including separation related problems or the fear of loud noises, places or things.
The dog appeasing pheromone in D.A.P. is a synthetic replica of the natural appeasing pheromone released by the lactating female, which enables puppies to identify the nest and their mother. These pheromones have been found to provide dogs with a message of well-being and calming that helps them to adjust to stressful, new and unpredictable situations.
SIZE: 48mL refill only.

Spray Chewstop on furniture, upholstery, clothing, plants and other household items to stop dogs and puppies from chewing.
Chewstop Spray can also be used to deter dogs from chewing bandages after injuries or surgery.
Re -apply daily for two to four weeks to ensure dog will no longer show interest in the object.
Make sure your dog or puppy has access to alternative toys or objects that they are allowed to chew on.
Active constituent: Denatonium benzoate 200 mg/mL
SIZES: 200mL; 500mL
Useful Hints on effective use of Chewstop Spray....
When you first use Chewstop, apply a small amount to a piece of tissue or cotton wool and place it near your dog's mouth and allow him to smell it and taste it. The dog should find the smell and taste unpleasant and should recoil from it. (Make sure the dog does not eat it!!! ?)
You want the dog to learn the connection between the taste and the odour of the deterrent so that he'll avoid chewing objects that smell like it. After letting your dog taste the Chewstop on the tissue, spray or rub it on all objects you don't want him to chew or lick. (Test on inconspicuous areas first for colorfastness on fabric items - avoid veneer finishes). Reapply the deterrent every day for two to four weeks to be sure the dog will no longer be interested in chewing those objects.
Make sure there are appropriate boredom buster toys and chew toys available to the dog or pup that he knows he is allowed to chew on.

Also reassuring for adult dogs, the dog appeasing pheromones in ADAPTIL help dogs feel reassured and relaxed in challenging situations.
Adaptil is easy to use

ThunderEssence is a calming essential oil made specifically for dogs. It contains 100% natural essential oils from Lavender, Chamomile and Egyptian Geranium. These oils are widely used in aromatherapy for a wide variety of calming and health benefits for both humans and dogs.
ThunderEssence is great for use at home, for veterinarian visits, during car or air travel, kennel stays, and more.
These essential oils are completely safe for dogs! Try in combination with a ThunderShirt.
The Calming Ingredients of ThunderEssence:
Lavender: The calming benefits of lavender have the same effect on dogs as they do on humans! Lavender affects the central nervous system, giving it calming and grounding effects.
Chamomile: Chamomile has muscle-relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to relax the muscles and relieve situational anxiety. It is also helpful for dogs who are prone to an upset stomach during hyperactivity.
Egyptian Geranium: Egyptian geranium has been found to have a soothing impact on dogs, helping to reduce anxiety and mental stress.
Also available as drops. See separate entry.
Need help deciding between the drops vs. the spray? The drops are more concentrated, and the spray tends to spread out to cover larger areas. If you are planning to apply ThunderEssence onto something that will go directly on your dog, you should purchase the drops. If you are wanting to apply ThunderEssence in an area, you should use the spray. Both can be effective in calming your dog.
ThunderEssence is safe to use as a body mist, but please AVOID applying directly on your dog's head, or other sensitive areas. Do not use on you dog's body if there is any history of skin allergies, hotspots, or other sensitive skin issues.

The Scat Mat uses a persuasive but completely harmless static pulse to keep your pet from shedding, scratching or doing their business where you don't want them to.
Scat Mats can be used on furniture, bench tops, doorways or even windowsills.
A few exposures will usually do the trick and now you can tell your pets "no" even when you aren't home.
Pets relate the experience to the area, allowing you to remove the Scat Mat after a few exposures.
Scat Mats are transparent to blend into any background and can operate for up to six months on a single nine-volt battery.
The mat uses a battery-operated controller featuring an LCD display. The LCD display shows the battery level, correction level and a counter so you can see how many times your pet steps on the mat.
It’s easy to adjust the correction level of the training mat depending on your pet’s needs. The 7 correction modes allow you to set the correction to:
- tone only,
- 3 levels of static only
- 3 levels of static plus tone.
When your pet steps on the mat they will feel a safe yet startling correction. The mat has a safety timeout feature, so if your pet keeps their paws on the mat for more than 8 seconds, the mat will stop correcting your pet before repeating the cycle.
FEATURES:
- LCD Display - LCD display shows the correction level, battery level and a counter to show how many times your pet steps on the mat
- Easy to Use - Place ScatMat on countertops, on the sofa, in doorways and near trash cans to teach curious dogs and cats which areas of your home are off-limits
- 7 Correction Modes - Multiple correction levels allow you to set the training mat to tone only correction, low, medium or high static correction with or without tone
- Training Tool - When your pet steps on the mat, they will feel a safe yet startling correction that discourages them from entering the off-limits area
- Safety Timeout - If your pet stays on the mat for more than 8 seconds the mat times out for 4 seconds; if your pet stays on the mat after that period of time, the correction will resume
- Battery-Operated Controller - Controller easily attaches to the training mat using 2 hooks and 2 snap fasteners; controller requires 1 x 9-Volt battery (battery not included)
- Easy to Clean - When it’s time to clean your mat, remove the controller and wipe the mat with a damp cloth.

Dog Behavioural Modifiers & Aids
Our range of dog behaviour aids will help to improve your dog's behaviour problems. At vet-n-pet DIRECT we have a range of dog training aids, calming tablets and paste, sprays and vests to ensure your dog is comfortable and on their best behaviour!
How do I know if my dog needs behaviour control?
If your dog is starting to show recurrent disobedient behaviour or their behaviours become a nuisance to you and your family or others such as your neighbours or visitors to your home, it may be time to intervene. While prevention (early training) is better than curing, dog control products, in conjunction with proper training are designed to regain some obedience and well-mannered behaviour from your pooch.
How do I fix my dog’s behaviour problems?
In the first instance we recommend you seek the advice of a Force Free Dog Training Professional or your vet. We carry a range of dog behaviour aids to assist in regaining control over your dog’s deviant behaviours. These dog training devices include bark control collars (which should be considered only after all other avenues have been explored), calming paste and chews for anxious dogs and deterrent sprays for those dogs who love to chew. All of these dog control products and more are available here at vet-n-pet DIRECT.
Why is my dog anxious?
Some common causes for anxiety in dogs include fear of abandonment, unfamiliar people or places, loud noises or other animals. Thankfully a range of dog behaviour aids are available to aid in calming your dog and making them comfortable. These include calming chews and tablets, calm pastes, pressure vests and space vests.
