Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone, used by cats to mark their territory as safe and secure. By mimicking the cat’s natural facial pheromones, Feliway creates a state of familiarity and security in the cat’s local environment. As a result, Feliway can be used to help comfort and reassure cats, while they cope with a challenging situation and/or help prevent or reduce the stress caused to a cat during a change in their environment. Feliway is available in 2 forms: as a spray and an electric diffuser.

Adaptil mimics the pheromone that the mother dog produces to calm and reassure her puppies. Dogs recognize these pheromones throughout life, as they appear to have a relaxing effect on both the young and adults. The D.A.P. Collar, spray or diffuser also helps dogs cope with new situations, such as adjusting to new homes, new pets, visitors and strange environments, as well as dogs that are frightened of thunderstorms and fireworks. D.A.P. Spray may be applied directly on bedding, inside crates or kennels, or sprayed in the car 15 minutes prior to introducing the dog to the area.

* Always consult your veterinarian to discern if your pet has any underlying physical problems.
