How to Use

Application Instructions

• For Calm Paws E-Collars and Caring Collars: Remove the gel patch from the tray, pull back the cover flap on the e-collar from its retaining slots, and place the patch on the surface of the collar directly under the cover flap; replace and re-secure the cover flap.
• For Standard Recovery Cones: Release the gel patch from the tray and attach directly to the inside surface of the standard cone using the velcro attachment; position where the dog can benefit from the scent but cannot directly contact the patch.
• For Caring Collars: Attach the gel patch to the heart-shaped plastic insert located in the fabric pouch inside the collar; the insert holds the patch securely in place.
• For Pet Crates: Release the gel patch from the tray and place it into the Calm Paws Patch Protector (sold separately) before attaching it to the outer surface of the crate, close to air holes but outside the pet's reach.
• For Cars and Carriers: Place the gel patch into the Patch Protector and secure it on a clean, dry surface out of the pet's reach but where good air circulation carries the scent to the pet.
• Replace After 14 Days: Each patch lasts up to 14 days; replace with a new gel patch when the scent diminishes to maintain continuous calming support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the Calm Paws Calming Gel Patch used for?

Ans: The Calm Paws Calming Gel Patch adheres to recovery cones and e-collars to deliver continuous aromatherapy calming support during post-surgery recovery. It releases lavender and valerian essential oils to help minimize anxious behaviors caused by post-surgical pain or cone stress, and can also be used in pet carriers and cars for travel.

Q2: What essential oils are in the Calm Paws Calming Gel Patch?

Ans: The Calming Gel Patch contains natural extracts of valerian and lavender essential oils, plus a bittering agent. The lavender is harvested from the lavender fields of France, and the valerian is premium-sourced from Asia. All essential oils undergo rigorous testing and QC inspection to ensure correct characteristics and efficacy.

Q3: How long does the Calming Gel Patch last?

Ans: Each Calm Paws Calming Gel Patch lasts up to 14 days of continuous use. This is slightly shorter than the Calming Disk (21 days) but provides sufficient coverage for the initial critical phase of post-surgery healing. Replace with a new patch once the essential oil scent has diminished.

Q4: How do I attach the Calming Gel Patch to a Calm Paws E-Collar?

Ans: Remove the gel patch from the tray, then pull back the cover flap on the e-collar from its retaining slots. Place the patch on the collar surface directly under the cover flap, then replace the flap and secure it back in its retaining slots. The flap holds the patch in place throughout wear.

Q5: Can I use the Calming Gel Patch in a pet crate or car?

Ans: Yes. For crates, release the patch from the tray, place it into the Calm Paws Patch Protector (sold separately), and attach it to the outer surface of the crate close to air holes but outside the pet's reach. For cars, attach the patch and protector to a surface with good air circulation, out of the pet's reach.

Q6: What stress-related behaviors does the Calming Gel Patch help with?

Ans: The patented gel patch design has been shown to help minimize stress-related behaviors, including urine marking, excessive barking, restlessness, and jumping. These behaviors can be triggered by post-surgical pain, the stress of wearing a recovery cone, or environmental stressors such as travel and new environments.

Q7: Is the Calm Paws Calming Gel Patch different from the Calming Disk?

Ans: Yes. The Gel Patch adheres to recovery cones and e-collar surfaces and lasts up to 14 days, while the Calming Disk clips to collars and harnesses and lasts up to 21 days. Both use lavender and valerian essential oils. The Gel Patch is specifically designed for e-collars and cones; the Disk is better suited for collar and harness attachment.

Q8: Why does the Calming Gel Patch contain a bittering agent?

Ans: The bittering agent is included as a safety precaution to discourage dogs from chewing or licking the patch if they are able to access it. While the patch is designed to be placed out of the dog's direct reach, the bittering agent provides an additional layer of deterrence to prevent accidental ingestion of the essential oil formula.
