Overview
A 1.5 oz tube of nose-applied ointment built around SENTRY's pheromone approach, meant to help manage normal everyday stress and support calmness in dogs. It's applied as a thin coat on the nose rather than given orally.
This is a topical pheromone product, not a sedative or a supplement taken by mouth. The label frames it for normal stress rather than diagnosed anxiety disorders, and directs reapplication as needed rather than on a fixed schedule.

Strengths and trade-offs

- Small, portable 1.5 oz tube
- Simple nose application, no dosing measurement
- Can be reapplied as needed
- Requires repeat application rather than one-time dosing
- Not positioned for severe or diagnosed anxiety
Performance notes
The ointment is meant to be applied as a thin layer covering most of the nose and reapplied as needed, working through pheromone signaling rather than a sedating drug. Because dosing isn't fixed, results will vary by dog and by how consistently it's reapplied.
