Has anyone used this collar as a way to calm the cat down for bedtime?

The collar worked for about 2 weeks well and now is less effective. Well worth the price to see if it will work on your cat. We shall see....

It has lavender in it, which is used as a calming agent, even in baby products! It works on my alpha male Siamese; he goes to bed after dinner like a baby. :)

I have used this on two of my cats. One is a jealous bully and was terrorizing the other. I also had some inappropriate "peeing" but never knew which one it was. I put a collar on each cat and saw some improvement, though the problem did not abate completely. I can definitely tell when its time to change the collar. I have also had luck with the plug-in pheremones, but discontinued them when I learned that the plug-in air devices have a tendency to fail and can be a fire hazard.

I have friends who have used this and it worked really well for them. I believe my cats would have responded better, but they are past that point. Medication and segregation is the only option right now.

I use the calming collar all the time on my cat, it makes a big difference. The collar really works, I was surprised.

Fred, I used this collar on my small dog, to help train him and I must say it got the job done. Only had to shock him once to get his attention, now all I need to do his put the collar on him and that take care of any behavioral problems. This $20.00 collar is worth every penny I paid for it. I hope this help you and believe me it works excellent.

I have a Persian so I can't really answer you. The collar did NOT work on her. I did try it on my friend's short haired cat and it worked well. I have a different (more powerful) one for my dog and it works wonderfully and he wears it 24/7.

Yes. You will have to buy an additional collar for the second cat. At one time we had 3 cats with the collars and it worked fine for all 3 cats. I had the same problem where the cats began to urinate in certain rooms and this was an ideal solution to keep them out of those areas. When the batteries run out on the collars so I order replacement compatible batteries on Amazon which are much more affordable. Good luck!

I can't say that these are a reliable alternative to sedatives. If a cat is stressed under normal circumstances, it may relax him but I think that a cat under stress in a strange environment may need something more reliable. My cat will sleep if he is in our home but if I take him somewhere else, it doesn't have the same effect.

I change our Cats collar every 30 days and we never have any issues with her anymore. The collars really work and if you combine them with the pheromone plugins from Feliway, if you have a problem cat, your problems are solved. Major personality change on our Tortoise shell female older cat.

I had the same problem with my 2 cats. It helped my male cat to calm down and stopped the biting after wearing the collar for one day. So I ordered more collars so my female cat can wear it to help her with stress. Unfortunately my female cat had a severe allergic reaction to the collar, she ended up with a swollen mouth and her hair around the neck fell off. We had to rush her to the vet and they had to wash her with Dawn to get rid of the chemicals. I decided to take off the collar on the male cat and ordered the Feliway diffuser. So far the diffuser seems to work well, both cats are calm and the male cat does not chase nor bite the female cat. I had the same problem with my 2 cats.

to be honestI tried it on full for my dogHe let out a little yip in response but otherwise ignored the collar. I eventually gave up. (If he is not in an enclosed area, nothing will prevent him from running around and hassling cats)

Drops that help calm down an anxious cat. I used it on my adult cat when I first brought a new kitten into my home... It really works!

It does! First I cleaned the carpet area with the other nature miracle stuff. I find that I have to restart every week or so. I also had my cat wear a calming collar for about a month. He's stopped peering!

Yes. My cat seems to calm down when he's wearing the harness. (The velcro is noisy when you take it off the cat.)

So glad it worked for you as well. I, too, had to put a soft towel on the lounger before my cat jumped in. She must not have liked the feel of the bed's cover.

Thank you for your question! With the proper training, this collar can be very effective to help redirect your pup's focus away from chasing cats.

Oops! Just noticed that this was a question and not an ad...sorry, but I have not used this product for that purpose, but I wonder if it might help to spray it on a cloth near the door to help calm the cat down so it wouldn't be so persistent? Small old wash cloths or hand towels come in real handy in order to spray them instead of surfaces--and you can move them to various locations, saving the use of the spray. I would spray it intermittently in the area the cat is in during the day (I spray it on the edge of each cat bed and near where they eat--also in the living room in strategic locations you might try spraying it outside the door your cat is scratching as well , taking care to avoid spraying it where they might get it on their fur and lick it off). I sprayed it on the a blanket inside a crate when I took one of my stressed cats to the vet, and they used pheromones when she arrived, and she was affectionately writhing around, allowing the vet and technicians do anything they wanted with her! The vet tech just loved her because she was soooooo cooperative. This is a cat who will not let anyone lay eyes on her, no less touch her, when they visit my house! Hope this helped.~

What ever you do, do not use a hartz collar on you pet. It burned my cats neck and made her behavior very agressive. After I took it off within hours she became more friendly, after a few days she was nearly her old sweet self.

lleave the collar on all the time. You will have a lovely mellow cat (hopefully) and kitty won't think you are punishing it by putting on a collar at night. Also your cat will smell really nice because of the light lavender smell. Put it on loosely and chances are good the cat will ignore it. It doesn't smell weird like a new collar and it doesn't chaff their neck. Good luck.

I don't think it is narrow enough for a cat collar. Maybe they make them specifically for cats?
