Every year, thousands of dogs and cats end up in animal shelters because of difficult
and often destructive behavior problems. The majority of these problems such as urine
marking and vertical scratching in cats and excessive barking and destructive chewing
in dogs are a natural reaction to stress and fear. Developed and recommended by
veterinarians, Comfort Zone® pheromone-based products are clinically proven* to help
control destructive behavior in dogs and cats - naturally. Comfort Zone® products are
species specific (Feliway® for cats and D.A.P.® for dogs) and are available in two
forms-an electric diffuser and a spray. Comfort Zone is a registered trademark of
Farnam Companies, Inc. Feliway and D.A.P. are registered trademarks of Ceva Santé
Animale.
