Cat Pheromone Sprays & Other Calming Aids
Living with anxiety can be difficult for our pets, and it can be hard to understand how to help them. Cats might show signs of anxiety or stress because of new surroundings or visitors, trips to the veterinarian, loud noises and more. Common signs of stress include excessive shedding, gastrointestinal upset, hiding, and aggression. It might take trying a few different calming aids until you find out which method helps ease your feline friend’s anxiety. That’s why we offer cat calming sprays, chews, diffusers, oils, collars and more—all designed to help ease your cat’s anxiety.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Pheromone sprays are designed to mimic the natural pheromone release in cats, which has a calming effect. Individual results may vary by pet.
-
Do not spray cat pheromones directly on your cat. Spray 8 to 10 pumps into the air 15 minutes before the cat is introduced to the environment. The effects should last approximately 4 to 5 hours. Reapply as needed, or if you notice a reduced effect.
-
Calming collars for cats release scents that mimic a cat’s natural pheromones. This scent can reduce your furry friend’s destructive or antisocial behavior.
-
These sprays, collars and diffusers are very similar to natural pheromones. Review individual product packaging for noted safety and side effect information, or discuss with your veterinarian.
-
That depends on the pheromone method you choose, as well as your kitty’s unique personality and needs.

What effect do calming tablets - like the herbal tablets that "reduce problem behaviour" and are used to calm pets in situations like vet visits, fireworks, travelling, and so on - and calming sprays have on cats? Are they likely to help deal with a cat in heat? (I have Beaphar Calming Tablets and Home Spray. Is there a better brand of calming meds?) Thanks.

I have a 2 year old female cat who has had severe anxiety since kittenhood. I have tried pheromone plug-ins, collars, sprays, and calming music. She is so skittish she runs when we approach her. I am looking for advice on medications, and our vet wants us to bring her in for an exam. This will make her anxiety a million times worse, so I am trying to avoid an in-person visit. Is there any medication that will help?
