Product Information

If you are worried about it being harsh on your cat’s skin, drop them all here! Because it contains ingredients that are natural and harmless. Most of these sprays will only last 6–8 hours before you’ll need to respray. This means you may need to use the spray multiple times a day, so make sure you have enough for your needs. If you have a multi-cat household or have a very stressed cat, you probably need a decent-sized bottle. However, if you’re trying out a new spray or only need it for an occasional vet visit, a small bottle should be fine. A. It’s becoming more accepted to give cats hemp oil or CBD oil to calm them down. The two oils come from the same plant, neither is psychoactive, yet they are very different. Hemp oil comes from the hemp plant’s seeds and does not have any CBD in it. CBD oil is extracted from other parts of the hemp plant and there’s no THC in it to get your pet high. You probably won’t get much help from the veterinary community regarding these products due to legal issues in some states. You’ll find plenty of products to try online, especially hemp oil for pets, if you choose to go this route. If you’re considering giving your pet hemp oil for anxiety, consider the quality control and dosing of the product. Hemp oil should be given in the recommended dosage in food. Though it’s extremely rare to give your cat too much hemp oil, scour the directions so you know the correct dosage to give your pet. As long as it’s odourless, you have a good chance of getting it into your kitty’s belly. You’ll find two types of pheromones used in these products. The feline facial pheromone is useful for general stress and calms cats on an individual level. And the maternal cat-appeasing pheromone (FAP) helps keep the peace in multi-cat homes where fighting is a problem. Who Are Pheromone Diffusers and Sprays Good For?

It helps in reducing the fight among cats. It makes all cats feel comfortable. This feature is a lifesaver as no one wish to deal with a catfight! A pro-tip, never skip reading the directions to use. Most of these sprays are for smelling only, so make sure you or your cat doesn’t digest them. So stop yourself from spraying it around the cat’s eating area. Pheromone vs Natural It is perfectly normal to see your cat manifesting unusual behaviors or not at its best state due to stressful circumstances. When this happens, another relaxing spray product that you could use is the Nature’s Miracle Just for Cats Calming Spray Stress-Reducing Formula. Just like people, cats can get stressed out from time to time. Boredom, overstimulation (too much noise and/or excessive touching), and changes in their environment are all potential stressors. While the causes of your cat’s stress should be your first target, calming aids can help soothe them through unavoidable changes to their environment.In the world of cat pheromone products, Feliway is by far the most well-known and reputable. I tested the single-cat “Classic” formula, which releases the feline facial pheromone. Feliway also carries a multi-cat version for relieving tensions among feline housemates. To avoid leaking and risk of fire, diffusers must be upright, with the vents facing up. Conveniently, the Feliway’s electrical prongs rotate to accommodate horizontal outlets. Another feature that caught my eye was a green light indicating it was on. Personally, I liked this detail, but some found it too bright. While there are tons of ways and products, like the best calming aids for cats or a cat calming plug in, that help with our pet’s anxiety, often used by fur parents are cat sprays to calm felines and reduce their stress. Essential oils that have not been diluted will be much too strong for your dog. Think of how strong these oils smell to you. Like I said, this calm spray for dogs is only for mild cases of hyperactivity. You'll need to reach out to your veterinarian for more severe debilitating cases.

These treats contain a blend of ingredients thought to soothe cats, including C3 colostrum, the amino acid L-Theanine, and the B-vitamin thiamine. I'm using lavender and chamomile because they are natural calming agents, and me and my dogs also like their scent. Salmon flavored and made in the United States, NaturVet chews also include brewers yeast, flaxseed, tapioca starch, rosemary extract, and other ingredients that should appeal to your cat’s palate.

Mol Med Report. 2010;3(6):895-901.As convenient and efficient as this means of pheromone distribution might initially appear, it has a big downside. The diffuser sometimes heats up, emits a burning smell, and the liquid may leak out and into electrical outlets. At least one person’s diffuser melted and started emitting clouds of smoke. What does this mean? Feliway diffusers are a fire hazard. Use them at your own risk. Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements are some of our favorite probiotics ( for dogs too), and their Calming Care formula opens up a new and exciting realm in the use of beneficial bacteria. While most probiotics are targeted at digestion issues, by supplementing your pet’s gut flora, Purina Pro Plan’s Calming Care uses a unique strain of Bifidobacterium longum called BL999, which reduces the effects of cortisol—a hormone connected to stress. For travel use, you will see the best results when you re-apply the calming spray product every four to five hours during long journeys. For home use, it’s best to use it once a day on marked areas to help decrease the occurrence of re-markings or excessive scratching. Feliway Classic Spray Key Features: There’s no proof that calming aids really work. Most veterinarians recommend them on the premise that “it can’t hurt, but it might help—if only by making you feel like you’re being proactive.” When browsing for this type of product, you will see that there are two types of sprays that help calm cats. The first one contains calming pheromone, while the second product category is not based on pheromones and uses natural ingredients instead.

While there isn’t yet independent research into the specific pheromone formula found in the Feliway Optimum Enhanced Calm diffuser, we’re inclined toward the product that most reflects the gains in our understanding of cat chemical communication since Feliway was first introduced in the 90s. Pheromone diffusers and sprays mimic these natural cat-appeasing pheromones to calm feline nerves. In turn, they should curb stress-induced behaviors like excessive vocalization, scratching, hiding, and fighting among cats. They’re often used in vet clinics or shelters to relax cats. Synthetic pheromones won’t work for every cat, but many cat parents report noticeable differences in their pet’s behavior after using them.It also offers slightly more coverage—750 square feet vs. the usual 650-700. However, like the other diffusers, this is based on an open floor plan and will only be effective in one room. Another bonus: bSerene vials are said to last longer than most other diffusers. According to the company, each refill should last about 45 days, considerably longer than the typical 30-day use. Essences: Unlike oils, essences do not have a scent. They are a liquid extract of a flower or plant, and they are usually made with a water base. Essences, like oils, have many positive side effects including calming our cats, but you need to make sure you are getting a spray that is safe for your pet. Some ingredients are detrimental to your feline as they process things differently than us or even dogs. Not to worry, we will give you the scoop on what to avoid a bit later. Not just correction of cat’s behavior is necessary, but to detect the reason behind it. Mostly it is because of stress or anxiety, from traveling, other pets, vet visits, or thunderstorms! A one-stop solution for both of these issues. Corrects undesirable actions.

Does It Stain?: This next factor runs hand and hand with the one before. If you are planning on using a spray on your furniture, car, or cat’s toys, make sure it is a formula that will not stain or leave a film.Sprays and plug-ins work by releasing calming pheromones into the air that are calming and help kitty relax,” Dr. Satchu told The Spruce Pets. “Treats use a blend of calming and relaxing herbs, similar to how some teas work for people.” Richards Organic Pet Calm is a very different and organic solution to these problems as it contains passionflower extract, chamomile, valerian root extract, skullcap extract. These ingredients are best when it comes to relieve tension, anxiety and encourage sound sleep. Some cats have more “accidents” than usual and forget or suddenly fail to see their litter boxes, while others display annoying and destructive behaviors, aggressiveness, or isolation. Excessive and loud noises are another typical response that we see, and perhaps a call for help.
