Description
The Feliway Electric Diffuser Vial is a calming aid for cats that releases synthetic pheromones that mimic the natural scents cats use to feel secure. This diffuser creates an atmosphere that reduces stress and anxiety, making it especially useful for cats that scratch too much or mark their territory with urine. Designed for indoor use, it's ideal for homes with multiple cats or areas where they spend a lot of time.
Directions
To use the Feliway for cats, start by removing the vial cap. Next, screw the diffuser onto the vial and gently tighten it. Make sure the vial is securely attached before proceeding.
Insert the diffuser into an electric socket that's not linked to an on/off switch. The correct position is with vents facing upward for effective distribution. Each refill vial typically lasts about 30 days. Replace the refill every four weeks even if some liquid remains. Continuous use assures consistent effectiveness.
Avoid using the diffuser with adapters or extension leads, as these may affect its performance. Always use the diffuser in the country where it was purchased. Mixing with a different voltage system may cause malfunction, potentially affecting how well the diffuser performs.
Ingredients
The Feliway cat diffuser contains a synthetic version of feline facial pheromones.
Contraindications
Avoid using this product if any of the following apply:
- The environment contains incompatible electronic devices.
- The household includes individuals with known sensitivities to its ingredients.
- The electrical socket is linked to an on/off switch.
- The vial is used or damaged.
Cautions
- Use only in sockets matching the local voltage. Avoid using power strips or adapters.
- Position the diffuser in open areas. Avoid placing behind furniture or curtains where airflow is restricted.
- Use the Feliway refill exclusively with Feliway Diffusers. Different brands may not be compatible.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. Contact a veterinarian if unusual behavior or reactions occur.
Side Effects
The Feliway Electric Diffuser Vial typically has no significant side effects because it uses synthetic pheromones, which are a normal part of cat communication. Since it isn't a drug, users generally find it safe for cats and other pets. However, some pets may initially show mild reactions like increased purring or grooming as they acclimate to the diffuser.
Though itās considered safe, users should be aware of potential serious reactions. If a cat shows signs of distress, such as aggression or increased anxiety, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian. Although rare, any unusual behavior should be monitored to ensure the well-being of the pet.
