The CalmDown by KRUUSE ® Post-op Button
Helps reduce stress
An attachable pheromone-infused button for collars to help soothe dog's and cats throughout postoperative recovery.
Having to wear a collar can be stressful for the animal since it interferes with their vision, smell, and awareness.

It lasts for a minimum of 10 days, follows the animal wherever it goes, and positions the pheromones right under the animal's nose.

What are pheromones?
Natural molecules that can regulate the stress level of animals
Pheromones are natural chemical signals released by dogs and cats to communicate emotional states like anxiety or comfort. They play a crucial role in social interactions and well-being. By nature, mothers emit calming pheromones for their young, helping them feel safe and secure. The button contains a scientifically tested pheromone that mimics these soothing signals, aiding in stress reduction by lowering the heartrate*.
Detected by the vomeronasal organ, pheromones influence the brain’s limbic system, regulating stress and behaviour. In postoperative situations, collars offer protection, and by using the CalmDown by KRUUSE® Post-op Button it contributes with a soothing effect simultaneously.

Packaging
Foil-sealed for maximum potency
Pheromones are highly volatile, which requires each button to be individually packaged in a foil pouch. This ensures maximum strength and effectiveness, since pheromones won’t be activated and released until the foil pouch is opened. The CalmDown by KRUUSE® Post-Op Button has a shelf life of 3 years and comes in table displays containing 12 pieces of foil pouches.
How to insert
Easy application for rapid effect
Insert the button in the pre-punched holes to any plastic collar with our simple click technology. The calming pheromones will automatically be released as soon as the pouch will be opened. No need for body heat or other intensifiers.
This is how simple it works.
Hole application
Specialised hole applicator
All future collars produced by KRUUSE will include pre-punched holes*. For collars without pre-punched holes a specialised tool has been developed: the CalmDown by KRUUSE® Hole Applicator.
*Please note that BUSTER Easy Collars and BUSTER Premium Collars will not have pre-punched holes.
