BeapharHerbal Calming Collar - For Dogs - For Fireworks, Thunderstorms, Car Travel & Long-Term Stress - Contains the Natural Herb Valerian - Up to 6 Weeks of Calming - 1x Adjustable 65cm Collar

Wow! This has worked miracles. One of my cats I adopted and for years he's been a very anxious, stressed and restless cat. He meowed constantly, to an extreme degree day and night, paced the house, windows and surfaces. He would scratch and pull and destroy carpet, particularly outside doors, hated doors to be shut. He also bit and chewed vertical blinds, clawed at clothes hanging in wardrobes, towels and rugs. He was never settled at night. He would be reluctant to have any cuddles too.My other cat I had since a kitten and they would often get into chasing games that went beyond play, could never be near each other - they'd rumble and fight in a playful way but often it went too far. We'd constantly have to keep them apart.He's had the collar in for 3 days now. Within one hour I had a calmer cat, happy to have a nice nap. Since then he has hardly meowed, the pacing has stopped, clawing at carpets has stopped plus all other destructive behaviour. We've had 2 full nights of him sleeping peacefully on the bed with our other cat and not waking us up during the night. He is calm, looks happier and is coming to me for lap cuddles and purring! Surprisingly - my other cat behaves different with him, they can be close to each now with no squabbles and I can see on my cats face that he's just less stressed. For years I tried other things including Feliway spray and plug-ins, distraction toys and more. This simply works!It does have a strong smell which is a bit unpleasant however it wears off after a few days. It's the smell of Valerian so smells a bit like some human herbal tablets in a bottle. It's day 3 now and the smell has faded and will even more. It's worth it to get the result. He's tolerated the collar. I cut the extra length off with scissors. It states on the packet that it does have a safety catch release if the collar gets caught on anything. Mine are indoor cats.I can't recommend giving this a try enough if you have an anxious, stressed or angry cat. If you have more than one cat and there is tension or if your cat does naughty things or meows beyond the normal levels. Great for a nervous trip to the vet or cattery also. I'm stunned this has worked so well, I was skeptical but will replace this every 3 months as recommended.Here is a photo of my new happy cat wearing his collar. It's changed life for all of us and I'm loving seeing him calmer.

Lavender is toxic for cats. Even the smell after 24 hours made my cats very ill. Had to dispose of them. Massive gastro intestinal reaction. Sick and runny tummy. Had to select 1 star as it wouldn’t accept no stars. Would not recommend.

Bought this for my female cat as she has taken a dislike to a new young male. It's difficult to put on as it's so hard and i have arthritis in my hands, and the smell is so strong it set my already bad asthma off.

First thing that hits you is the very, very strong smell of the collar.The second is working out how to remove the staple without hurting yourself.Third is the collar is very stiff and tricky to thread through the latch. I had to thread it through first and then slip the collar over my cats head then slowly adjust to fit the right size. I then cut of the excess.My cat constantly howled, meowed and paced up and down. Very distressing to see. But within minutes, she seemed to calm down and appeared content.She is an affectionate, lap cat and loves snuggling upto me but the smell is so awful, I'm having to wear a face mask until the smell calms down.It is a strong quality product and I can see it has grooves in it, which I assume acts as a breakaway should she get caught somewhere.I think the price is excellent value for what it does.It is a good buy. Let's just hope the smell calms down after a while because I cannot have her in my bedroom, on my bed at the moment. The smell is just way too strong.

Bought this for my cat as he is a very anxious and skittish cat, I've bought the treats and tried them and they work great, he was like a different cat and id even go as far to say they helped with his seizures, the only problem being that after a while he would refuse to eat them, so I would cut the sharp corners off and drop them down his throat and gently rub his neck till he swallows them.I bought the collar, home spray and another packet of treats this time as I'm currently in the process of moving out and I want him to have a smooth transition without him being severely stressed and possibly setting of his seizures more violently.The first thing I will say, the collar absolutely stinks, it smells like sports shoes that someone's been using as a sweat bucket. It does ware off after a while, but as someone who's sensitive to offensive smells, I felt nauseous and had a crappy headache for a couple hours. Also if you're sensitive to lavender, I wouldn't recommend. It's not actually lavender but it smells very similar.I haven't really noticed much of a difference in him since he's had it on, he's still very jumpy at sudden noises, and since he sleeps with me on a night I'd say it had more of an affect on me than him, the last few nights have been the best sleep I've had in ages.I'm gonna keep it on him just for the sake of the move and start up the treats again, I'm also gonna be spraying the new place religiously with the home spray and hopefully that works too.Just a side note, I wouldn't recommend for cats that have never worn a collar before especially older cats, if you want to try with kittens, try with a normal collar first till they get used to it and then try the calming collar. I just say that, because it is plastic and they could hurt themselves trying to chew it off.Overall probably won't buy the collar again but will definitely keep buying treats.

WOW!! All i can say is...it worked! Our 6 mo th old (neutered) kitten was always picking on his mother and our 2 older cats. Very rough play with our 5 month old puppy too where he stood to get hurt. Put this on him and with in minutes he was calm. Not attacking anyone and even just wanted to curl up with the puppy instead of instigate rough play. Im so happy with the results and would strongly recommend this item. I'll be buying again!
