Calming Collar For Cats

Calming Collar for cats
I read reviews before buying this product and saw some mixed reviews. I was hopeful and purchased 3. I have one problem cat but figured it wouldn't hurt to get one for all of them. I have to tell you that this has been a miracle for me. My primary goal was to stop my 2 yr old male from spraying anything he'd go near. We had been to the vet and tried numerous expensive drugs all without success. He has worn the collar for a week now and hasn't gone anywhere but the litter box. My gentle female cat has hidden in the shower stall for almost a year now and would only come out at night. She now is out most of the day, purring, playing and evening tolerating the Chihuahua. My 3rd cat too is happier all the way around and also spends less time hiding. THANK YOU!!!! I was at my wits end.

Not for my kitty
Unfortunately, this product didn't work for our kitty's problems. We used it in conjunction with a diffuser as well. We have two other cats (female and male), and our one female cat has territory issues and becomes aggressive at times. They grew up together, so it was not an introduction of new cat issue. She will get so stressed out that she gets urinary tract infections, and pees in a couple different places in the house. We've tried using cranberry tablets to treat this while trying out the collar and diffuser. There's been no change in her behavior towards our other cats, or our children.

Pretty good product
My cat Bo is an obsessive compulsive sprayer. In fact, I don't think it has anything to do w/territory or aggression or fear of my other cats. He just does it when he feels like it. All the time, 24/7 & everywhere. He looks at me & does it. He even sprayed me once. I was at my wits end. Every night I would come home from work & clean clean clean. He sprayed every where he could back his butt up to. My vet gave him a female hormone shot that you can give a cat every 2-3 months but it's like $90 every shot. It did stop him from spraying a little bit but I think it's because I also bought this calming collar along with the feliway diffuser. I think a combination of all 3 things has cut Bo down on his spraying, but it hasn't stopped him completely. But it is a miracle for me since it has cut the spraying down from what was once all the time. I don't care for the smell, but it doesn't bother him. He is VERY mellowed out with it and it doesn't bother him. He does NOT try to bite it off. I would recommend buying the collar before putting your cat on depression meds. At least try it once. It may work with your cat. Depression meds means putting your cat on meds for a long time for the rest of their life. Bo is an extreme situation & I was willing to try anything. I'm 98% pleased with it. Only thing is that it only lasts 30 days, but I take that into consideration with my monthly pet expenses & price of owning a cat. I would never get rid of him or rehome him. He's mine to stay. HOWEVER, I don't think the collar alone would work. The diffuser only works in one room so unless you can afford to buy those expensive diffusers for every room, you really need the collar too. Sorry for the long review, but I thought you needed Bo's background on how bad he was with the spraying and it was BAD! It has gotten 98% better. Also, make sure you cut the collar so that's it snug on your cat but you can still fit your little finger between the collar & the cats neck. One other thing, buy those SCATTs that cost like $40. If you are looking to keep your cat off kitchen counters or out of certain rooms & off furniture, that thing is a MIRACLE too.

Relaxed Kitty
We recently adopted a cat who'd been abandoned outside for about a year. When we took him in, he had some pretty bad anxiety issues. Though he's calmed down a lot since joining our family, he still has difficulties. Recently, his stress manifests in cystitis, affecting his urination habits.
We tried the Sentry collar to see how it would help him out. The first week, he was a completely different cat. He had mellowed out even more than he already had: his meowing had pretty much stopped, he had no difficulties urinating, and he seemed to get along better with the existing cat in our house. We were truly impressed.
I found the fragrance mild and pleasant, though I could understand how some reviewers didn't like the smell.
Each cat responds differently to the collar, though, and after the first week, the effects
seemed to wear off. For the second one, we are going to put it on before we expect company (his main stressor), and remove it the next day--the package reccomends storing it in an airtight container when not in use.
I feel this collar was a wonderful purchase, and was worthwhile in our quest for anxiety solutions.

Calming Collar
The collar worked WHEN IT WOULD STAY ON. The latch is lousy and needs to be redesigned. My roommate and I each bought one. That's over $30. Neither cat kept it on for more than 2 days and the cats are INSIDE.

4 Questions · 11 Answers Ask & Answer.Talk to other pet lovers about this product. Q: I'm confused about the breakaway feature that another poster said was "broken". I read other reviews on other sites that said there is certainly no breakaway on this product. Is there any calming type collars out there with the breakaway feature? None of our cats are collared at all since we had a really bad mishap with a collar in the past.AnswersA: As far as I can tell, it is a breakaway collar. Actually, the first time I purchased the collar, I had to return it to the store, beucase the collar /had/ snapped. Though my cat has not gotten stuck (thank goodness!) I feel confident that it would snap to keep him safe.Q: I have a cat that like to urinates on things and starch every thing, the carpet mostly and LOVES to meow all night long to the point, you would think she is dieing. I am ready to give her way. We have children and she wakes them up most nights. Plz will this help or will my cat be gone soon? If any one knows what to do them I am all ears.AnswersA: If my cats are anything to judge by it will help your cat. I had similar problems, especially with the spraying and scratching. The collar has been a miracle to me. I figured since it had a money back guarantee it was worth a try especially since I was at the same point of feeling like he needed to be given away or put down. I have had a very positive outcome. Give it a tryA: It is possible that the collar might solve the problems on its own, or it may be part of a more comprehensive solution--though it sounds like you might want to have a full conversation with your regular vet or cat behaviorist. It seems like your cat is reacting to a lot of things.Clearly, your human children are the priority, but work closely with your vet. With deciation and communication, you should be able to rectify it. A: Hi Missy. It's hard to tell which products will or won't work for a given pet. If you try it and don't like the results, you can always contact us for a refund, as all of our products are unconditionally guaranteed: http://www.1800petmeds.com/guarantee.jspQ: Will she ever go back to being normal or will she always have to wear this..she is very destructive and 9 months old., only WHY? IS SHE SO BADAnswersA: Kittens are bad, and 9 months is still in the kitten phase. The calming collar may work, but make sure you adjust it around her neck so that she can't chew it off. Eventually cats get out of the kitten phase & slow down. I've had kittens & they usually started calming down around a year to a year and a 1/2.A: My cat was very anxious and demanding of my attention. She didn´t let me sleep and would destroy the carpet under my door if I left her outside the bedroom. With the collar she was so peaceful and calm that almost appeared to be sedated. After 3 days I removed the collar and she increased her activity to normal but retained the good behavior.I also recommend spending play time with the cat and providing fun activities to help avoiding destructive behaviors because of boredom. A: Nine months and destructive is somewhat normal. Yes, she will outgrow some of the negative behavior. My cat is almost 3yrs old and finally starting to mellow. The collar is helping and I am thankful for that. Keep up with the vet exams and try to diffentiate between instinctual behavior and learned bad behaviors. It will get better.Q: I have a 2 year old cat who is sweet and affectionate. She has no behavioral problems like marking or aggression, but recently she started to eat things that are non-edible. Not just chew, but swallow. I have found ribbon and rubber bands in her stool and places she has thrown up. She also has begun shewing on plastic. I work a lot, and I am back in school. She always seems so starved for my attention. I think it might be anxiety related. Any suggestions? Do you think this product might help?Images for this Question (click to see full-size image)  AnswersA: The calming collar might help. It's said to help with anxiety. You might want to get another cat her age to keep her company. I've always said never have just 1 cat - always have 2 so they can have a buddy. That might take her mind off you being gone just a little.A: The product helped with my British Shorthair but it did take about three weeks.I can feel your pain. It's hard because you want kitty to be happy and you can't control having to be gone. Try to establish a routine...special attention when you get up and come home. 1 of 1 1 of 1
