Cat Feline Boarding Pheromone Advanced

Advanced pheromone management in cattery settings uses validated products at evidence-based concentrations to minimise boarding stress.

Key Facts

Feliway Classic (F3 fraction) reduces stress indicators in boarded cats by 30-50% in controlled studies
Feliway spray applied to bedding before placement reduces acute admission stress
Diffusers require 24-hour pre-placement to reach effective concentration in cat chalets
Feliway Multicat reduces inter-cat tension but is most relevant in multi-cat household contexts
Cat Calm and other competitors have less published evidence than Feliway Classic

Welfare Considerations

Evidence-based pheromone management provides welfare benefit to boarded cats without medication or intervention. Used correctly - at evidence-based concentrations with appropriate pre-placement timing - it represents a low-cost, low-risk welfare improvement.

What You Can Do

Choose boarding facilities using Feliway Classic diffusers in cat chalets
Request pheromone spray application to your cat's bedding before placement
Bring Feliway-treated bedding from home as an additional comfort measure
