Q: How long does it take to treat my dog with Reconcile™ in combination with BOND™ training?

Follow the recommendation of your veterinarian. Clinical trial results show substantial progress can occur in eight weeks. In those trials, improvement in separation anxiety-related behavior occurred in 73 percent of dogs as compared to those receiving behavior modification alone (51%).

It is important to treat your pet for the full prescribed duration, while also using a behavior modification plan, to see the best results.
