A synthetic copy of the calming pheromone a mother dog produces for her puppies, in a plant-based carrier with no fragrance and no alcohol. No effect on humans, cats or other animals.
How to use it
Screw the refill in all the way, plug the diffuser in at about waist height in the room where your dog spends the most time, and leave it running day and night. Replace the refill every 30 days. For fireworks or a house move, plug it in two weeks beforehand.
For use with dogs only. Not a substitute for veterinary advice or for working with a behaviourist. Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children. Do not cover the diffuser.
Vitalys | Calma
A dog who stays calm even when you're not there.
- Reduces stress-related barking, damage and marking
- No smell for you, no sedatives, safe around cats and children
- Plug it in and it works 24/7, silently
- Each refill = 30 days of calm, covering up to 70 m²
The message only your dog can hear.
When a mother dog is nursing, she releases a pheromone that tells her puppies “you're safe”. Vitalys Calma diffuses a copy of that signal into the room, 24/7. Your dog picks it up through the vomeronasal organ and their body lowers its guard. You smell nothing. They finally relax.
It's not a “bad dog”. It's a frightened dog.
Barking and crying when you leave
The neighbours complain, and you head out feeling guilty.
The dog who barks the moment the door closes isn't punishing you: they're panicking. The calming signal, diffused continuously, gives them a sense of safety even when you're not there.
Damage and chewing
Cushions, shoes, door frames. It isn't anger: it's anxiety.
Chewing is a release for stress. When the background level of anxiety drops, the urge to destroy drops with it.
Marking and weeing indoors
They know to go outside. Indoors, they do it out of insecurity.
Indoor marking is one of the first behaviours to ease with calming pheromones, especially after a change (moving house, a new pet, a baby).
Hiding, trembling, panting
Fireworks, storms, visitors. And nothing reassures them.
Plug the diffuser in two weeks before the difficult date: your dog faces the noise already starting from a lower level of alert.
Separation anxiety · Fireworks and storms · Rescue dogs · Puppies · Moving house or a new baby · Multi-dog homes · Senior dogs
3 steps. Then autopilot.
No tablets to hide, no collar to forget, no spray every hour.
Plug it in where they spend the most time
Living room, bedroom or near their bed. A free socket at about waist height, away from open doors.
Screw the refill in all the way
As soon as it's plugged in, the diffuser releases the calming signal throughout the room.
Forget about it. Change the refill every 30 days
Leave it plugged in all the time. Two refills per kit = 60 days of calm.
Calm in the moments when nothing used to work.
The signal is in the air all day long. When the difficult moment comes, your dog is already ready.
When you leave for work
No more barking in the hallway. No more scratched door when you get home.
Fireworks, storms, parties
The nights they used to spend shaking under the bed.
Join the families who leave home without the guilt
No more complaints from next door
My cocker spaniel cried from the moment the door shut until I got back. A week after plugging it in, my neighbour asked if I'd given him away. He sleeps in his bed.
Megan L. Verified purchaseI go to work without a knot in my stomach
Rescue dog, severe separation anxiety. After ten days, the camera shows a dog lying down, waiting. Before, he would scratch at the door for hours.
Thomas R. Verified purchaseTwo weeks and the difference is clear
I wasn't convinced. I kept a log of my outings: from 40 minutes of barking to almost nothing. Refills ordered.
Ellie M. Verified purchaseFar less howling
My shepherd used to bark at everything that went past the window. He still reacts, but he lies straight back down. The house is finally quiet.
Jack P. Verified purchaseShe used to bark at night — not any more
Little senior girl who barked at 3 am for no reason. Diffuser in the bedroom: full nights' sleep for three weeks now.
Natalie D. Verified purchaseSimple and effective
You plug it in and forget it. I expected a smell, there's nothing. The dog, though, is visibly more settled.
Karim B. Verified purchaseFirst New Year's Eve without the shaking
11-year-old girl, terrified of fireworks. Plugged in two weeks before. She stayed on the sofa with us. I cried.
Lucy F. Verified purchaseStorms: he no longer hides under the bed
Before, at the first clap of thunder he'd vanish, trembling. Now he comes and snuggles up to us and falls asleep.
Peter G. Verified purchaseBuilding work next door, zero drama
Three weeks of drilling. Without the diffuser we'd have had to leave. He slept most of the time.
Sophie V. Verified purchaseNo accidents indoors for a month
I'd tried everything, cleaners, sprays. Nothing. Diffuser in the hallway where he was marking: he's never done it again.
Anthony C. Verified purchaseThe marking stopped with the new baby
Since our daughter arrived, he'd been marking the living room. Two weeks of the diffuser and it's over. Safe around the baby — that was my only question.
Chloe H. Verified purchaseTwo dogs, no more rivalry
The young one was marking everywhere to “answer” the older one. The diffuser calmed them both. They sleep in the same bed.

What to expect with Vitalys Calma
With continuous use. Every dog has their own pace, but here's what families tell us.
First calm moments
Your dog starts to pick up the signal. They settle down faster, get up less and look for their bed.
Less barking, fewer accidents
Departures are no longer a drama. Damage and marking decrease.
A stable routine
They sleep better and cope with noises and visitors. Time for the second refill.
Calm becomes their normal
With refills running continuously, your calm dog is back to their old self. And you can breathe again.
Every dog is different. Results vary with age, history and how intense the stress is.
After 14 days with Vitalys Calma, families tell us…
found their dog calmer day to day
saw a clear improvement when their dog was left alone
saw less damage, barking or marking
would recommend it to another owner with the same problem
Why a diffuser, and not a tablet?
Calming tablets knock them out. Collars get wet, get lost and smell. Sprays last an hour. Vitalys Calma doesn't change your dog: it changes the room they live in.
WHAT VETS SAY
Almost everything owners call “bad behaviour” is fear. Before any calming medication, the first thing I recommend is a constant signal of safety at home. Calming pheromones do exactly that, with no sedative and no side effects.
