Cat Calming Pheromone Collar

Go to your vet first - a urinary infection or crystals can look exactly like a behaviour problem, and no collar fixes that. Once your vet has ruled out a medical cause, stress marking is the single most common reason owners buy this collar, and it is the change they report most often. Give it the full first collar before you judge it.

Start with the bully. Owners who collar the aggressor usually see the household settle faster than those who collar the cat being picked on. If it is not obvious who is starting it, collar both for the first month and watch.

That is the classic case. A new cat rewrites the territory your older cat had already settled, and hissing, hiding and marking are how she says so. Put the collar on a few days before the introduction if you can, and keep it on through the first month.

Night-time howling and zoomies are often an anxious cat, not a bored one, and it is one of the changes owners notice earliest - sometimes the first or second night. If your cat is a senior and the yowling is new, mention it to your vet as well, since it can have other causes.

It will not turn a shy cat into a social one, and you would not want it to. What owners describe is a cat who stops bolting - she stays in the room, watches from the arm of the sofa, and comes out sooner after guests leave.

About a week before, so the collar is already familiar when the boxes come out, and keep it on through the first few weeks in the new place while she claims it. For vet visits and car trips, on the day works - but a week ahead works better.

Ask your vet, and follow what they say. Because the collar is a scent signal rather than something absorbed into the body, vets often have no issue with it alongside a prescription - but your vet knows your cat and we do not, so that call is theirs.

No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling. Some cats respond in hours, some take two or three weeks, and a small number never respond at all. It also will not out-argue a real cause: a dirty litter box, a resource the cats are fighting over, or pain. That is exactly why we back it with a guarantee instead of a promise.

Two fingers, flat, between the collar and your cat's neck. Any looser and it never touches skin, so it never activates - loose is the number one reason a collar “does not work.” Any tighter and it is uncomfortable and cannot release if she gets caught.

It is one adjustable size that fits from a small kitten up to a large adult, and you trim the excess after fitting. With a growing kitten, check the fit weekly - they outgrow a snug collar faster than you expect.

Yes. Fit it first, then trim the tail so there is nothing dangling for her to chew or catch. Cutting does not weaken it or reduce how much it releases.

Almost always fit. Re-check the two-finger rule, make sure her fur is not caught in the buckle, and press the fastening fully closed until it clicks. Please do not zip-tie or tape it shut. The release is what stops a collar becoming a noose if she snags it on a fence or a vent - sealing it removes the one feature protecting her.

Yes. Wear both, with the calming collar sitting against the skin underneath and the ID collar over the top. Fit each one separately with the two-finger rule so neither ends up tight.

Put it on right before a meal or a play session so the first minutes are associated with something good, and ignore the dramatic flopping - most cats forget it is there within a day. If she is genuinely distressed, take it off, leave it near her bed overnight so it smells familiar, and try again tomorrow.

Yes, for the best result. It releases continuously while she wears it, so taking it off at night or only putting it on for stressful days gives you a fraction of the effect.

It is suitable for kittens from 12 weeks and for senior cats. With a kitten, keep the trimmed end short so there is nothing for her to chew. If your kitten is very young, underweight or unwell, ask your vet first.

The fastening is designed to pull apart under pressure, so a snagged collar comes off rather than tightening. That is also why it occasionally comes off on its own - the two go together, and we would rather find a collar under the sofa than the alternative.

No essential oils - no lavender, no tea tree, no chamomile. Cats process oils very differently to us and many vets advise keeping them off cats entirely, which is why a lot of “natural” calming collars are worth reading the label on. Ours works on pheromones alone.

Cat pheromones are species-specific, so people cannot read them at all and are completely unaffected. Other cats nearby may pick up a little of the signal, but only right next to the wearer, so each cat who needs it should have her own.

There is nothing toxic in it, but it is plastic, and swallowed plastic can cause a blockage in any cat. If yours is a determined chewer, trim the tail short, check the collar daily, and take it off if she is working at it. If you think she has swallowed a piece, call your vet.

A splash is fine. For a proper soaking or a bath, take it off, pat it dry and put it straight back on - it carries on working normally, and a wet collar against the skin is uncomfortable for her.

It is uncommon, but any collar worn constantly can rub, especially if it is on the tight side. Part the fur underneath once a week and look at the skin. If you see redness or thinning fur, loosen it a notch, and stop using it if that does not settle within a few days.

Some owners notice a calmer cat the same evening. For most it builds over the first week, and for anxiety that has been building for years, give it the full first collar. If nothing at all has changed after 30 days, that is what the guarantee is for.

Up to 30 days from the moment you take it out of the sealed pouch. Your pack of 3 covers 90 days. Leave the spare sealed until you need it - an opened collar starts releasing whether or not it is on a cat.

Two usual reasons. Either the collar has loosened over the month and is no longer touching skin - re-check the two-finger fit first, it fixes it more often than not - or your cat is a heavier responder and genuinely runs a collar down faster. Some owners switch at three weeks for that reason.

Depends on why you started. If it was a one-off upheaval - a move, a new cat, building work - many owners use two or three collars while things settle and then stop. If your cat is anxious by nature, most keep one on year-round and just replace it monthly.

One per cat, worn at the same time. The signal does not travel far enough for one collar to cover a household, so in a multi-cat home the collars are doing separate jobs on separate cats.

Orders leave within 1 business day and arrive in 7 business days across the US. You will get tracking by email as soon as it ships.

Then you should not be out of pocket. Use it properly for 30 days - correct fit, worn continuously - and if your cat is no calmer, email us and we will refund you. You do not need to send the collar back; give it to a friend with a nervous cat.
