CALMING PHEROMONE COLLAR

So I’ve had cats my entire life- all of them have come from shelters at different stages of life. About three weeks ago I adopted another two adult cats, both of them special needs. One has an issue where when it gets stressed it gets bladder problems. The other is severely traumatized from a tragic incident with its previous owner. Both had been at the shelter for months due, in part, to their unique circumstances. About a week after I brought them home I ordered this collar because I actually needed help with them. I’ve never tried a calming collar before, and based on the reviews, natural ingredients and price decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. The collar works in a subtle way, but definitely makes a big difference - in both cats! The pee cat has calmed her anxiety down significantly in the week that she has been wearing the collar; hasn’t had any accidents, and is right at home - she made an amazingly fast transition to our household living (5 cats, 1 dog, 1 bunny, 16 yard chickens + humans). She plays with the other animals and climbs into our laps for cuddles. The traumatized cat is who truly needed this collar most. For over a week it didn’t move or look at me, head down hiding under the bed hissing when I got too close. It only came out at night to eat, drink, use the litter box. I put the collar on and within hours it had come out from under the bed to look around. It’s been about a week now with the collar and this once terrified cat is still scared, but has made outstanding progress. Every night he now comes out from under the bed for hugs, chin scratches and to play with the others. These things are subtle but huge positive changes. The collar is kinda like a safety blanket just giving some padding to help the animal overcome emotional or mental challenges. I’m glad I bought it and highly recommend. Its help is subtle, but it definitely helped both these cats.

This collar is so good! My kitty, Kida would get really anxious around my dog and whenever the dog approached her (my dog was being very friendly and gentle), the cat would start meowing really loudly, hissing, and scratching my dog, Rhea, for no apparent reason other than fear. Within the first few hours of putting the collar on, I could see that she was a lot calmer and sleepy ( in a good way) and even let Rhea sleep next to her. The collar was pretty easy to put on and it is very secure. At first, my cat was a little annoyed having it around her neck but in a couple of days she was totally fine with it. Since using the collar the cat was definitely less stressed by and less aggressive toward the dog and now they even play together. It's been so peaceful since Kida's been wearing it. I'm really glad that I bought this and that it worked because the situation was pretty bad and I was getting kinda worried thinking I would have to keep them stuck in different rooms forever. I recommend it if you have an anxious, reactive cat. I will definitely buy again.

I purchased this when I had to take my cat (9-year-old neutered male) overseas with me for work, in order to make his transition a little easier. The collar is really long and is supposed to be cut to adjust to the size of the cat in question. I wound up cutting it more than once because the end has a tendency to stick up and snag on things. I frequently had to adjust the collar on him, because it's possible for it to somehow tighten itself. He never choked on it, but it was significantly tighter one afternoon when I got home and I felt a bit nervous about that. If you're aware and check the collar frequently you shouldn't have anything to worry about. It has a relatively nice smell which can be described as artificial and weird but not unpleasant. The collar was placed on him a few days before traveling. He meowed a lot less during the last car ride to the vet, which was a good sign, and seemed to be in a very cuddly mood at home. He still spent the entire plane ride shaking in fear with a few interspersed naps, but in a much calmer manner than I had anticipated. The biggest surprise came when we arrived at the new place: he adapted quickly. He did not hide, as he usually does, and was quick to use the litter box, eat an entire meal, and explore the new place. This surprised me because he's never moved, and when leaving him at friends' homes while I had to go on trips, he usually spent nearly an entire week hiding under the bed (coming out only to pee and ignoring food). I kept the collar on him for more than thirty days to see if there was a noticeable taper-off. There was no noticeable change in behavior, which leads me to believe it does last a bit longer than described on the box. The smell was still there. After about six weeks total I removed the collar, and the only difference I noticed was that when he had to have a check-up, he had gone back to loudly meowing during car rides. Unfortunately, I did not bring a back-up collar with me, and it turned out that I couldn't buy a second one in Europe when it was time to move back due to pheromone collars not being for sale there. On the plane ride back to America he was without it, and he showed higher levels of stress and was in an overall worse mood than the first time around (curled up into a tighter ball, did not sleep at all, and was less willing to snuggle my hand than the first time). He did not meow on the plane during either of the trips. It is definitely worth trying, but note that even if it helps, it will not eliminate stress entirely. It is not a replacement for appropriately acclimating your cat to new carriers over time. The biggest difference for me was how quickly he adapted to a new place without feeling afraid.

Yes, I believe it works and yes, I think it almost killed my cat. My boyfriend and I were sleeping and he woke up because he heard a weird sound. I realized it was my cat violently gaging and shaking in the corner of the room. I thought he was either vomiting or having a seizure, which he has never had before. After I turned the light on and looked closer the collar had loosened enough for him to get his jaw through(I’m sure it was in an effort to get it off) and his jaw was pushed so far open that it was enough where it was pushing on his wind pipe and he couldn’t breathe. I was able to pull it off. I was furious and immediately threw the collar in the trash. I was also incredibly grateful that he was not in another part of the house when this happened and we were able to hear him. This is NOT a break away collar. Before I bought this, I read about a woman finding her cat with blood all over with the same issue. With the rave reviews I thought it was a fluke and still wanted to give it a try. The collar didn’t seem to bother him for two weeks. He didn’t try to pull it off and he seemed calmer, less crying at night. After this happened I looked at other collars to buy and they all seem to have the same size adjusters that can open or lock. Because it worked I am going to glue it on to a REAL break away collar and I hope you do the same. I also hope the company sees this review and updates their design because this will happen to another cat, please glue it on a real break away collar to keep your cat safe! I don’t ever write reviews but I cant believe how easily this could have been fatal and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.

Our pet is extremely active. The calming collar helped some.

Used these a couple of times now. Once for my very anxious kitty when I went on vacation and once for both my cats when we moved apartments. I see a significant difference in acclimation and behavior when my cats are wearing this during stressful times. For example - my first vacation away from them, post-covid (quarantine kitties), one of my cats was vomiting every meal she ate, clawing furniture and meowing constantly. After having the sitter put one of these on her, she was cuddling up to the sitter, holding down her meals and her meowing and scratching got much better (she still does that even during non stressful times). After returning from my trip, my cat decided to take the collar off herself after about an hour of me being home. During my move - both cats wore it and gave me no problems. After about 2 days with the collar on in my new apartment they both were scratching at the collars so I took them off al voila! They’re completely acclimated (only some minor spooks from its noise). Overall, great product. Would recommend this over the plug-ins as I’m not sure if those have as much of an impact. Plus I love that my cats can tell me when they’re ready to take the collars off because they’re feeling good. They hate the smell of the plug ins (I don’t smell them, but they avoid them at all costs).

I bought this for my cat because he was ruining my life with his b.s. I recently got him neutered but to my surprise it could take up to 6 weeks to see behavior issues lessen. We were still going thru this terrible howling at night, he was sometimes spraying, and he was bullying my other cat. I bought these collars after reading most of the reviews available on it. Immediately upon receiving them I put one on said cat. He didn't like it at first and kept twitching, scratching at it, and trying to get it off but after a few hours he was completely different cat. I'm noticing he still sniffs around like he wants to spray, so I also bought the same brand contact spray in hopes that helps more with that. But the howling and bullying has completely stopped, infact he lays with my other cat now. My only complaint is the material. The way you have to cut and unroll the hard plastic collar makes it uncomfortable for kitty, luckily, I don't care for this cat and simply don't care. It keeps his kitty butt in check and that's all that matters. I'm going to try to put a normal collar underneath the next month's dose and see if that lessens his discomfort. If your cats behavior is driving you nuts try this! It's inexpensive way to treat only the cat that needs it versus the diffuser which treats all cats in the home.

It worked for maybe a week at best but now our cats are back to fighting, yowling, and urinating and pooping outside of the litterbox. May try a different product by the company, but will be using Therapet Diffusers in future.

It worked on my older (10yr old) cat, totally relaxed him for a recent house move and he's been calm since. However, the younger cat (4yr old) it did not work at all. He hated the collar and I suspect had sun allergic response to it as he lost a lot of hair where the collar was. I definitely put it on correctly, but it looks like I've shaved him in the shape of a collar. Very weird. I'll be ordering more for the older cat.

I bought it because of my older cat was unsettle with a new kitten adopted , she was a lot calmer with this collar . It is reasonable priced, the smell was all right, not too strong not weak, very pleasant .It help her to feel more secure.

Smells very strong and didn’t work for my British shorthair cat

Seemed to help my little cat calm down

We used these on our 2 cats for our house move. One cat is particularly timid and hides all day and only comes out for food. Since putting his collar on her she's been so much confident and is out, playing and cuddling us after 4 years of having her! I decided not to replace the collar just to test it, it's now been 5 weeks so the collar needs replacing and low and behold, she is starting to hide again... so they very clearly do work. No adverse side effects with either cat either.
