We give Feliway Pheromone Spray a rating of 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n The main thing that the classic Feliway Pheromone Spray does well is calm cats during travel. Most cats do not do well in the car, and this spray can help get them through the experience of going to the vet or on vacation. You need to test it first to make sure it works on your cat, but a single bottle can last many trips. Spray the carrier about 20 minutes before travel time for best results.<\/p>\n If your cat likes to scratch at your furniture or clothing, you can use the classic Feliway Pheromone Spray to curb the behavior. Simply spray the product directly on the surface of the couch or chair if you don’t want the cat to scratch. Repeat daily until the cat moves on, or use Feliscratch by Feliway to redirect their scratching.<\/p>\n If you have several cats in your house, especially male cats, they may fight quite a bit. Usually, the fighting doesn’t result in any permanent damage, but scratches can occur, and it’s often quite noisy and unsettling for the owners. Feliway Pheromone Spray Can help cut down the frequency of these fights if you spray it in the area where the conflicts occur, or by the cats when you notice tensions rising.<\/p>\n The primary drawback of using Feliway Pheromone Spray is that it doesn’t work on all cats. Feliway Claims that their product works on up to 90% of cats but reviews posted suggest the actual percentage of cats that respond to the treatment is somewhat less. It’s expensive, so if it doesn’t work, even a single bottle can set you back quite a bit.<\/p>\n Another downside to Feliway Pheromone Spray is that it does not last very long. You will need to apply at once a day to prevent scratching, but much more often to reduce fighting and to calm your cat. The small 3.2-ounce bottle only lasts for about 50 applications.<\/p>\n While many vets recommend spraying some on your hand and petting your cat, we recommend only doing this if your cat is suffering from extreme anxiety, and you have tried spraying it in areas they frequent first. We have seen cats react negatively to the scents and they may not like it applied to them, so use it for a while first before trying this technique.<\/p>\n The packaging states to use eight sprays every five hours, and each bottle contains 50 applications. However, many people have had great results using far less.<\/p>\n Yes, many vets recommend it to help settle kittens at night, though we recommend waiting until they are at least eight weeks old.<\/p>\n Yes, there is no color, and it will not stain.<\/p>\n Yes, the expiration date is on the bottle, and it lasts about three years. So it’s not all about what we say; we’ve looked up reviews on Amazon, Chewy, and other places we could find the product for sale to see what other people are saying, and this is what we found.<\/p>\n Feliway Pheromone Spray<\/a> can be a great way to calm your cat and reduce territory marking, scratching, and fighting<\/a>, as long as your pets are sensitive to the synthetic pheromones. Feliway states that the classic spray is best to help calm cats during travel<\/a>, and as a supplement to curb other unwanted behavior. They state that their diffusing products are better for reducing fighting and territory marking, while the drops help redirect scratching.<\/p>\n We hope you have enjoyed reading this look at the effectiveness of pheromones and their multiple uses for helping with unwanted behavior<\/a>.<\/p>\n Looking for a few more reviews?
