Cat Calming Treatment

Many situations can cause stress or anxiety for your cat, whether that be a new addition to the family, a change of scenery or trips to the vet. No matter the cause, it is essential that we try to keep our pets relaxed and happy to ensure optimum quality of life. Here at zooplus you will find a great range of options to help soothe your cat during stressful situation, including sprays, tablets and diffusers.

The range of zooplus cat calming treatments includes a variety of different options, all designed to help reduce stress and ease anxiety when your cat is under pressure. Stress-relief products for cats primarily work by releasing synthetic pheromones that imitate the natural appeasing effects of the feline facial pheromone that helps to make cats feel more secure and marks territory. These include sprays, diffusers and collars, all of which give off soothing vibes to help your cat.

You will also find tablet options, which contain casein. This comes from milk and has a relaxing effect similar to that felt by newborn kittens during breastfeeding. All of these methods work by imitating the natural ways in which cats are usually soothed.

Choosing the right cat calming treatment all depends on your needs and where you plan on using it. Here at zooplus we offer a great range of options to meet every need.

Diffusers

If you have just moved house and your cat is struggling with the change in environment, it may help to use a diffuser, as this well spread throughout rooms and help your cat get used to its new home. They can also be helpful if you have recently added a new pet to the household, such as another cat. Cats use these pheromones to help cats feel secure and to mark their territory as safe, so this can help to soothe all cats involved. Refills for these diffusers can also be purchased separately here at zooplus.

Capsules

Tablets can also be a great way to help soothe and calm your cat, especially if your pet is outside of the home. They contain a substance that comes from milk and helps to soothe cats as they would be relaxed by a mother’s milk. The natural effects are ideal, as they have no side effects and are non-addictive. They are also really easy to administer – simply feed like a treat!

Sprays

A spray is the perfect choice for spraying onto surfaces, whether that be at home, in the car or elsewhere. It contains the same soothing scent as a diffuser but does not need to be plugged into, so can be used when out and about as well as at home. This can also be good in a newly multi-cat household or if there are other disruptions; it can simply be sprayed around the house each day, with a scent that is unnoticeable to humans.

As well as these cat calming treatments, there are other simple ways to support your cat’s happiness, health and quality of life. These include choosing the right nutrition, providing your cat with toys and scratching posts, and ensuring your cat has a clean and hygienic litter tray area. All of these factors contributing to making life enjoyable for you and your cat!
