My 6 yr old tomcat has always been high strung. Lots of spraying at the litterbox wall and lots of jowling and pacing. He is obsessed with eating anything stringy. He's considered a PICA cat.I read about this on one of the Facebook groups and decided to try it after reading some good reviews.I put however many drops I want to use for the dose into the lid of the bottle and use a little syringe to draw it up. Makes it a lot easier to put it right into his mouth. Easy peasy.It's been about 3 weeks now and the difference is night and day! Highly recommend! Start off with maybe three drops if your cat is a bigger cat once a day and just kind of let their behavior let you know when it might be time for another dose. Some days I don't have to give him any. If he starts exhibiting his old symptoms I just give him a dose. He has turned into the happiest cat ever. I'm so grateful. Wish I had found this years ago.
So, I bought this for my 10-month-old cat who is a high stressed very scared little (well not so little) guy. We will be moving in April, and I needed something safe to help travel with him that will help keep him calm, without knocking him out. I did some research and decided to try this product out.Wanting to make sure there were no bad side effects and that it seemed to work I have tried this twice on him so far before out trip and I can honestly say he is calming, less scared and more mellow without being "knocked out". I am adding a pic of him sleeping in front of my PC with these drops in his system even though it doesn't really give you the best idea of how it works since he is napping trust me when I say it does seem to work well for him. He is less jumping, will allow people to touch him more and does not seem to cry as much when he is super scared.
Value for the money it's okay but the price has been going up and up in the past 2 yearsSize it's a little small for the value of moneySmell greatGreat product for your your pet if they have anxiety
Two feral cats are living around my house in peace. A new arrival upset the apple cart. These drops really made a difference. I add some to the water dishes and twice a day I add drops to their food. It does not work over night. A month later peace has moved back in.
Worked well in conjunction with calming cat treats when we had house guests. Our cats don’t like strangers but this seemed to help.
My cat has a lot of anxiety when going to the vet. Just getting the carrier in the house makes her nervous. I of course was dreading this very visit for just that reason. I gave her the drops inside of a puree pouch treat, worked it around in the pouch and she ate it no problem. I had no issues whatsoever once these drops kicked in. I did give her the drops a half hour or so before I knew we needed to leave.I have recommended them to my co workers, family and friends.Definitely will buy these again.
This product helped reduce my cats anxiety during travel. Only reason I gave it a 3 star was due to my cats high functioning craziness, it did not 100% work. For my other cat, it worked great! If your cat has high functioning anxiety for travel, I recommend asking your vet for medication. This product is a great OTC remedy nonetheless.
My cat is in a new home, and she shares the house with my sisters small old dog, who is driving her nuts. At first they got along, but now the dog is invading her space, so she is whacking him and wanting to get out of the house, and away from it. This is the best calming meds out there I think. Just a few drops in her wet food/squeeze pate and she is good to go. Relaxed, sometimes sleepy. I will get some for that dang dog too, lol. Beware that at first a few drops my knock a cat out, but after a few times her body will adjust. Just don't give them more than it says on the package and alternate with something else like a calming chew to avoid tolerance.
We introduced an 8 week old female kitten into the home and already had a 5 year old female (spade). To say she was unhappy about her presence is an understatement. And no, we didn't do the proper introduction period for them either...because we didn't know! So that obviously didn't help matters. The older cat got progressively more territorial and would bully the little one, charging her and trying to "chase her off" while hissing and swatting at her. The little one, from a prior home with other cats and suspected resource guarding with the litter box, had a hard time adjusting and would often pee outside of the box (yes, I had her checked for a UTI and it was negative. Vet suspects it's the stress of being in a new home with a territorial cat and she already had issues with litter boxes. She also is a 'stress pee' kitty. When something scares or upsets her, she pees in inappropriate places). Needless to say, I was DESPERATE for something that would help ease both of their stress, and after much research and a chat with the vet, we decided to give these a chance. We didn't want to just jump into kitty Prozac etc. Well...after just a couple of doses, the older cat started to chill out and even let the little one nap nearby! She also no longer stares her down and charges her to try and run her off. If the little one gets too annoying and in her business, she will swat and hiss at her, but that's normal because she's teaching her boundaries (I honestly would get annoyed too with how much she follows her around lol). But she's no longer treating her like a threat, so that's a HUGE improvement. And the little one is starting to get her stress pee under control and going in the litter box! I honestly can't give these drops enough stars. Especially because they're natural! We just give the doses to them in unsalted tuna water or on a treat. They don't seem to be able to smell or taste it. Also, don't be afraid to play around with the dosing. Start low, but your kitty might need a bit higher of a dose to start seeing the positive effects. I definitely wouldn't give up after just a dose or two if you're not seeing any changes. Herbal remedies can also take a bit of time! It all depends on the kitty. Hope this helps someone!
I've been using the Nose Relief product with my cats for over 4 YEARS. We recently moved so I added the Anxiety Relief and the Digestive Upsets products and I love them all. I put the drops in their drinking water. (I only use one product in the water at a time, depending on the cats' needs at the time.) Since it is an all-natural product I typically use more than the suggested dosage. Be patient. It takes a little bit of time... anywhere from days to weeks to really see what a huge difference this product makes in the quality of life for your cats. KEEP IN MIND... Sometimes a trip to the vet is the best way to get their health moving in a positive direction. Being consistent with the drops will help keep it moving in the healthy direction. NOTE: A trip to the veterinarian can be EXPENSIVE. If you need to be mindful of how much you spend - TELL THIS TO YOUR VETERINARIAN!!! They know you LOVE your pet so they want to help you BOTH. I promise you they will be compassionate and we'll discuss with you the treatment options and their cost.
I bought this because we've added two younger cats to our household and our older girl cat sometimes gets anxious about the situation.When you open the bottle, there is a noticeable scent to it.However, it doesn't bother the cats at all.I put a few drops in their canned food, and they eat it up without any problems - even my girl cat who is a picky eater. She doesn't like any treats and only eats a specific brand of canned food and only some flavors.I do notice that she seems calmer about a half hour after eating.I only gave this 4 stars because I can't say for sure if it is this product that makes her calmer. I mean, maybe she would just take a nap after eating anyways.
UPDATE: I've been using this product for over a year now. It has worked miracles. No more spraying/marking furniture and she's much more relaxed. The taste must be good because she laps it up. I still put 4 drops in the morning in her Friskies Lil Gravies and 5-6 drops in the evening. Also it no longer makes her drowsy, so I'm guessing with time that side effect subsides.My cat is very nervous & aggressive to my other cats. She has gotten this way since vet prescribed steroids for repeated urinary tract infections. I have tried everything to calm her and keep her from marking/spraying the furniture and mistreating the other cats. So in desperation I tried this. I tried calming treats and chews but she would sniff and walk off. I've been giving her Homeopet Feline Anxiety drops for a week now and I think she is showing some improvement. It does make her a little drowsy, so I try to give it to her late in the evening. I also give her the drops in Friskies Lil Gravies hoping to hide the flavor of the drops because she is VERY finicky about what she eats/drinks. To my surprise she loves it (so far)!! I put about a tablespoon of Friskies Lil gravy in her bowl, 4 drops (it calls for 5 but I'm experimenting) and she laps it up!! Then I let her have the rest of the pouch of gravy if she so chooses. I've noticed that she isn't spraying/marking the house as much as before so here's hoping I've found a cure!!! I would recommend this product to others with an anxious cat.
My 4 year old long haired cat has been over grooming for a few months now. We've taken her to vet and spent upwards of 300 dollars on tests and different medications. Not only were they not working but it was traumatizing for my cat for me to force the pills down. She was irritable, hiding, fighting with her kids and just all around miserable. I couldn't stand watching her suffer like this. We ruled out allegies so I did some research and thought id give this a try. LIFE SAVER. Within 24 hours she was out and about, way more relaxed and playing with the other cats again. It's been 4 days now and she's doing amazing. She's back sleeping on our bed and her over grooming has lessened SIGNIFICANTLY! I've ordered another bottle. I only give her one to 2 doses a day, right into her wet food and she can't even tell she's taking it! I would highly recommend this to ANYBODY. I honestly cannot believe it worked. I cried when I started noticing the changes in her behavior. She's been suffering so much and I'm so thankful for this solution. I also want to note that I used this medicine while also using a feliway (comfort zone) plug in diffuser. The results may be due to both of these working in unison. Best of luck to anybody dealing with the same issue!
My cat's an anxious licker/chewer. After gnawing all the fur off her belly and hind legs, I knew I needed to do something different. Her vet prescribed an anti-anxiety gel to put inside her ears, but it took weeks to even remotely work; I needed something more immediate before my girl chewed a hole in her belly. She's responded to HomeoPet positively so I figured I give this a try.This worked almost immediately with my ~18-pound cat. While obviously calmer/more tired, she still remained active when interacting with her. She went from having to be supervised all day to only really chewing 3 or 4 times a day. There's a slight smell to it (not bad, just a scent) so I put the drops directly on her dry kernels so they'd soak in. She didn't notice a difference and gobbled them right up. It's important to find a balance between calming your cat and knocking them out for the day.It will take time for her belly fur to grow back, but knowing she's not about to gnaw a hole in her side eases my own anxiety. I found 2-3 drops 3 times daily works for her.
My wonderful, formally homeless, orange tabby has Food Anxiety big time. About 4 hours after he eats a full meal, he starts this incessant meowing/yelping as if he fears that it was his last meal, & now he's going to go hungry again. The vet said he cannot have any dry food/treats, because it will clog his colon...so no between meal snacking. I have to limit him to only 3 meals a day, because any weight gain could cause diabetes. I live in a condo, & he lives on my large screen enclosed balcony. I can't count how many times I RAN to the balcony (at all hours of the day & night) to quiet him. So I felt like I was painted in a corner.One of my nosy neighbors actually reported me to the County Animal Shelter claiming that I must be committing ANIMAL CRUELTY (but that's a whole other story). Needless to say, the complaint was deemed baseless.Then I bought this Feline Anxiety Relief, & WHAT A DIFFERENCE 5 drops per meal can make!!! Now I actually have to go to the sliding glass door, & check on him, because he's so quiet! What an amazing product!!! My sanity is restored :-)UPDATE:My boy started having these daily coughing jags, & an X-ray diagnosed him with Asthma.Right after that I ran out of this product...and low & behold...the coughing has diminished to once about every 3 days.This can’t be just a coincidence. It’s a shame because I was very happy with the product :-(Anybody else notice coughing?
My poor kitty must have been horribly traumatized before a shelter volunteer found him in a dumpster, over four years ago. He lived in the (no-kill) shelter for nine months, where unfortunately he established a reputation as a bully. (And we all know that bullies are bullies because they're afraid.) After nine months with the wonderful shelter people, he came to live with me. He still tries to bully (me) and any other cat with whom he comes into contact. He's still afraid, even though he knows he's safe. He loves me--and shows it in many ways now. (Took a lot of work on trust, believe me!) BUT, after years of trying all kinds of homeopathic calming formulae--I found this, and I praise God for it. Within two days, Homer was more calm, and seemed happier. He doesn't act "doped" or anything negative--but he's more-calm. I put five drops into his (big) water bowl, about once a day. (He drinks a lot of water, and I refill.) My boy is a MUCH happier camper, and THIS is the reason why. Homer and I recommend, highly. :)
I have a 10 year old male crazy kitty who didn't really calm down at all until he was about 9. Unfortunately while he was growing up I was slowly remodeling my house so he is upset by most loud noises, crinkling of anything, the Gardner's , people in the house etc etc. Well I hadn't traveled in a year and decided to try these drops but ended up with something else that knocks him out. These had arrived by the time I got back and I give him 5 drops with his wet food in the mornings and he is just a dandy kitty now! I don't give him drops in the evening since he does go out and the one time I tried he came in with a bite so I figure it's not a good idea for nighttime. I have an Airbnb that opened about three weeks ago and he is still shy, but friendly and sometimes he doesn't even get upset when people come in and out. I still use Feliway , but have tried not using it and it works ok for a while. He still dives under the covers if there is machine noise, but he is much nicer and not biting me as much when he wants something. We are about to do the roof, an all day job, and that day I will give him the other "knockout" drops. When I gave him 5 drops in the evening that one time, he got really goofy, whereas the 5 in the morning keep him calm for the rest of the day and night. This really worked for us and I'm very happy it did since I'd like him to live another 10 years!
I got this to address the stress issues between two rescue kitties, who are more feral than any other cats I've ever had. They were rescued from litters by feral cats. One growls and hisses at anything she doesn't like--especially the other cat-- who is passive-aggresive and sprays on the furniture when he's stressed by her aggression.But for all their feral independence, both cats are profoundly attached to us, and get very disturbed when either of us is gone. Let's not even get into how jealous the she-cat gets when we pay attention to her nemesis, or even mention his name. Yes, she knows her name AND his name. She has the largest, most expressive personality I have ever seen in a cat, and I've had cats for 45 years. Her nemesis is sweet and mellow. Both are extremely communicative and responsive to us, coming when I call (not hubby, only me) and both only want to be touched and petted on their terms, and those are very limited, but essential when they demand it.I had to reduce the stress that arises from their proximity to each other. So, I proceeded to give these drops to them twice a day, first at the level recommended, then gradually reducing to about 3-4 drops once a day. The hissing kitty also gets to wear a pheromone collar to calm her even more.Hubby insisted he didn't notice a difference in the cats' behavior. He agreed the the spraying seemed to slow down/stop, but he was unwilling to attribute that to this product. He claimed to see no change in she-cat's aggression, hissing and growling.Then, I stopped giving this to the kitties, and after about two weeks, I noticed new spray marks and increased hissing and growling. Hubby was very upset. . .you don't give up a cat who is that attached to you without causing severe trauma. He also admitted noticing increased aggression, hissing and growling in the she-cat. I mentioned to him that I stopped giving this to the cats a few weeks ago and he was convinced. And relieved. This was a problem that could be managed without getting rid of either of the cats.The effects of this product are very subtle, as is the case with any herbal remedy. One should not necessarily expect see dramatic changes overnight. However, giving this product, along with providing all reassurance, attention and affection the cat needs on his/her terms, can provide sufficient results to curb the problems being expressed by the cats's stress. In my situation, we cannot eliminate the stressors because that means eliminating one of the cats, so I have to find a way to help the kitties cope in less offensive ways.Using this product, along with her pheromone collar and a Feliway diffuser in the living room allows both cats to be in the living room with us at the same time without being overly stressed. Okay, not near each other, but both being in the same room to be near us is an improvement from each staking out opposite ends of the house and staying isolated. Like I said, the effects are subtle. So subtle that my husband was skeptical until I stopped using it. Now he's convinced. It works well enough to calm the aggression somewhat and stop the spraying, and that makes it worth the investment.
