Pheromones In Nature

Pheromones are natural chemicals emitted by animals through their skin and glands that help them to communicate with others of the same species.

In mammals, the vomeronasal organ, a structure close to the nasal passage, receives these pheromone signals. When animals receive pheromone signals, there is an involuntary behavioral effect on those animals. There are many different types of pheromones and different classes have different effects. For instance, some serve social functions among animals, while others serve sexual functions.

Dog Appeasing Pheromones

Pheromones are natural chemicals secreted by animals to communicate with others of the same species.

Comfort Zone® with D.A.P.® (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) mimics the “appeasing” pheromones secreted by nursing mother dogs, sending a signal of comfort and safety to her puppies.

When your dog or puppy senses the pheromone, he feels secure and comfortable, reducing his fear reactions and his urge to act out destructively through chewing, excessive barking or house soiling.
