FELIWAY Spray

FELIWAY® Spray sends “happy messages” to cats that help them to feel safe and secure when travelling, during a vet visit, or even at home. These “happy messages” are the same natural messages that cats release into the environment as a means of communication, known as pheromones.

When cats feel comfortable and happy, they mark their territory with these pheromones by rubbing their face against furniture, other household objects, surfaces, people, or even other cats at home.

When they later come back across these messages in their environment, cats feel reassured. FELIWAY® Spray mimics this process and is ideal for targeted areas such as part of the sofa or in their cat carrier.

FELIWAY® Spray can see results almost immediately, however, you should wait 15 minutes before allowing your cat to approach the areas you have sprayed.

How long you should use FELIWAY® Spray for will depend on where it is being used:

• Travelling: If necessary, repeat application every four to five hours during long journeys.
• At home: Spray once or twice a day on the areas marked by your cat until their signs of unease or discomfort have resolved.

FELIWAY® Spray can be used in a number of situations. These include:

• If your cat shows signs of discomfort during travel, such as vomiting, urination, or defecation, but also meowing, agitation, and salivation.
• If your cat shows signs of stress at home, such as urine spraying and scratching on walls or furniture in targeted areas.

You should wait 15 minutes before allowing your cat to approach the areas you have sprayed. If you plan to travel with your cat, spray FELIWAY® Spray in their carrier at least 15 minutes before the carrier is used.

Where you should spray FELIWAY® Spray will often depend on the situation:

• Travelling: Spray directly on your cat’s bedding, inside their carrier, or in the car, 15 minutes before your cat has access to these areas.
• At home: Spray once or twice a day on areas where your cat urinates or scratches (such as the sofa, chairs, door frames, or doors), ideally after cleaning those areas.

There are also places where you should NOT use FELIWAY® Spray:

• Never spray FELIWAY® Spray directly onto your cat.
• When travelling, never spray FELIWAY® Spray in the carrier if your cat is inside. After spraying the product, you must wait 15 minutes before allowing your cat access to the area.
• Do not spray your cat’s scratching post as this may deter your cat from using it.

There are a number of situations in which FELIWAY® Spray should not be used as a solution. This includes for motion sickness:

• FELIWAY® Spray is not indicated for motion sickness during a car journey. Instead, we recommend that you do not feed your cat for at least six hours before travel to avoid nausea and vomiting. However, you should not limit your cat’s access to water beforehand.

When at home:

• If your cat does not have access to a clean litter tray, FELIWAY® Spray will not prevent them from urinating in your home.
• If your cat does not have access to a scratching post, FELIWAY® Spray will not prevent them from scratching your walls or furniture, as scratching is a basic need for cats.
• If medical reasons are causing your cat to urinate, hide, or have a reduced appetite, FELIWAY® Spray will not help. It is important to consult a vet to rule out any potential medical issues.
• FELIWAY® will not be of any use in cases of tension or even aggression towards humans. In these situations, we recommend that you speak to your local vet practitioner.

When using FELIWAY® Spray, use 8 to 10 sprays for each application. A 60 ml bottle contains about 50 sprays.

The effects of FELIWAY® Spray last between four and five hours. Each cat may react slightly differently.

Yes, FELIWAY® Spray bottles are made from recyclable plastics and can be recycled.

No! FELIWAY® should never be sprayed directly onto your cat. FELIWAY® Spray should be used in areas around your home where your cat urinates or scratches, such as the couch, chairs, door frames, or in your cat’s carrier or bedding when travelling. Always leave at least 15 minutes between spraying and allowing your cat access to these areas.

Yes, if using FELIWAY® Spray to offer calming on-the-go or when travelling, it can be sprayed directly on your cat’s bed or in their carrier. Please note, it’s important to allow at least 15 minutes between using FELIWAY® Spray and allowing your cat access to the sprayed area.
