Refill for Anti-Stress Diffuser Environment

Description

Cats naturally produce soothing pheromones, which allow them to calm themselves in various situations. The FRANCODEX ANTI-STRESS DIFFUSER contains synthetic versions of these pheromones, creating an environment where your cat will feel safe. It is especially recommended for use in the event of inappropriate behaviour (urinary marking, excessive scratching) caused by stressful situations, such as moving, changing environments, the arrival of a new animal, the birth of a child, exposure to loud noises or social events. The ANTI-STRESS DIFFUSER is effective for 6 weeks.

Composition

Analogues of the F3 portion of cat facial pheromones 3.33%, excipient Q.S.P. 100%.

Manual

Installing the diffuser:

1/ Unscrew the plug from the refill and insert the refill into the diffuser.

2/ Plug the diffuser into the socket in an UPRIGHT position. Turn the diffuser if needed. The vial must always be located under the plug. For maximum efficiency, the ANTI-STRESS DIFFUSER must be connected to a 220-240 V DC outlet for the full recommended period of use.

Cleaning:

Each vial will diffuse for approximately 6 weeks. However, ventilation, location, temperature and humidity can affect the diffusion rate. For the most effective use, replace the refill every 6 weeks. To clean the diffuser, unplug it and wipe it with a dry cloth. Wash your hands after handling the diffuser. If the diffuser is unplugged, clean it and store it in an UPRIGHT position. Do not place the refill or cap directly on fragile surfaces (painted or polished surfaces, plastic, etc.). The diffuser may emit a slight odour similar to that of an electric radiator, especially when it has accumulated dust. The solution in the vial may become yellowish. This has no impact on the quality of the product. Change the diffuser after 6 months of continuous use or after using 4 refills.

Additional advice:

• Urinary marking: do not scold the cat. Remove droppings from the litter box every day, replace the kitty litter once a week and clean the box with unscented soapy water. Clean walls and vertical surfaces with unscented soapy water. Soak textiles with sparkling water to remove traces of urine before cleaning. Do not use bleach.
• Scratching: do not scold the cat. Provide one or more scratching posts, placed in the cat's favourite areas. When the cat is clawing anywhere else, move it gently to its scratching post.
• Multiple cats living together: create a welcoming environment for the cats: one bowl of food and water per cat, one clean litter box for each cat, a separate sleeping area for each of them (if possible, separated into the three zones). Help the cats get to know one another: Install the diffuser in the new cat's room 24 hours before its arrival. Place the cat in the room with water, food, a clean litter box and hiding places and leave it in the room until it’s calm. Once the cat is calm, it can meet the other cats. During the adaptation phase, it’s common for cats to yowl or chase one another. The cats should get along better each day. If this doesn't happen, talk to your vet: it may be necessary to take other measures.
• Moving: before the move, use the diffuser in your current home. On moving day: keep the cat away from activities related to the move. Plug the diffuser in at the new house 24 hours before arrival. Place the cat in the room where the diffuser is plugged in with water, food and a calm environment. Once the cat has calmed down, open the door to let the cat explore the rest of the house. Do not let the cat go outside until it has made the proper facial marking of the new house. This process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
• Stressful situation: place the cat in a quiet room with water, food, a litter box, and places to hide. If possible, place the diffuser in the room at least 24 hours before the start of the stressful situation.
• The ANTI-STRESS DIFFUSER is not intended to help control feline behaviour that is unrelated to stressful events. In case of behavioural problems, consult a veterinarian.
