How to Use

Usage Instructions

Ans: No. The manufacturer specifically states the spray must not be sprayed directly onto a pet, as it can cause a negative response by startling or alarming the animal.

Ans: Yes. Sentry Calming Spray can be used as part of a broader calming strategy alongside other products.

If your dog is dealing with severe or persistent anxiety, always reach out to your veterinarian for guidance.

Ans: Yes. Sentry Calming Spray is safe for puppies and dogs of all ages and breeds. The pheromone technology mimics a natural canine signal and is well-tolerated across all life stages. No special dosing adjustments are required for puppies versus adult dogs.

Q8: Can I spray Sentry Calming Spray in the car for travel?
