Calming Aids for Cats and Dogs
Cats - FELIWAY
Feliway is a synthetic version of one of the feline facial pheromones used by cats to mark their territorial boundaries. A cat rubbing its face on an object releases this pheromone, and the pheromone provides them with a strong signal of reassurance. Feliway provides this signal of reassurance to cats of all ages, and should be used in conjunction with behaviour training/modification.
Some scenarios that Feliway may be suited for:
-
Anxiousness towards strangers and unfamiliar environments eg cowering, hiding, trembling
-
Conflict between cat and other pets (cat/dog) in household
-
New pet / furniture / person in household
-
New home
-
Unwanted marking, scratching, urine spraying etc
-
Thunderstorms or other loud noises
-

Puppy socialisation
