Feliway question Hi - I want to use Feliway, but have air purifiers in my house for allergies. Will the air purifier remove the pheromones from the air?

Yes, most air purifiers available for home use will strongly reduce the quantity of Feliway in the air for your home.

I contacted the Feliway company, and here's their response: Thank you for contacting Ceva Animal Health. I am a veterinary technician in the pharmacovigilance department. Air purifiers remove particles in the air. The Feliway product is a molecule and therefore the purifier will NOT remove the Feliway from the air. So, you are able to continue using air purifiers. If you have any additional questions or conerns, please contact us at 1-800-999-0297. We are in the office from 8-5 CST, M-F. Thanks, Colleen Pattimore, RVT, B.S

I have this purifier and I have two dogs and two cats. It is an excellent choice. Also have a Blue air in another part of the house that works wonders. I recommend both very highly.

I am not sure but it made one of my cats breathe really heavy so I have not used it since. If this is for a pet I recommend safe space by Spirit Essence. It's really worked well for my cat that had problems with anxiety.

When I plug in the Feliway diffuser it begins to smell like something is burning. I touch the unit and it is warm but not hot. I then unplug it because I am scared it is going to catch on fire. Is this smell normal? The unit does not sag at all when plugged in so I do not know what could be causing this smell.

I don't know if they will or not. I just don't let my cat in that room anymore.As it is it takes several treatments to kill the smell. :-(

No. The label/description is correct :"it controls odor naturally without perfume, deodorants or chemicals".This is an unscented litter vs some that say unscented but if you dig deeper (bad pun) you can find "masking scent" as seen in some air/room/fabric deodorizers.

I have just used Fizzion on my carpet to eliminate kitty odor. It really works! So I would use it on the carpet and I think your odor problem would go away. If it is not completely gone, or comes back in certain areas, I would steam clean and then use the product again. That should solve your problem. I am very impressed with this product!

I would not recommend because most air purifiers have a hepa filter too, they are able to filter any excess carbon. Also if it is a window air conditioner and could be exposed to moisture, the carbon filter would get wet and if not dried could possible have mold spores attach causing respiratory irritation.

I did not use Feliway daily, I use only when renovation happens around my flat. when it's too noisy, my cat son will nervous and not vv.

The Cloud works ok with most odors. But when it comes to pet odors the only purifier that will work for pet odors would be the Summit. The reason is that unit has ozone and ozone will break down the urine odor and penetrate in to carpet and soft materials. But if there is a lot of urine in the carpet and pad you will need to have the carpet steam cleaned to remove a lot of the urine. There will be some in the pad but the purifier put in the room with the worst odor will keep the odor from migrating in to other spaces.

Yes! I bought this air purifier because there is a lot of dust in my apt. and had to take care of someone's cat for 5 months. I was sneezing and sniffling for a few weeks after the cat moved in. Air purifier made a huge difference! I turned it on 12 hours at a time. I usually give it a few hours rest and then turn it back on again. I am seriously thinking about buying a second one for the bedroom. I think turning it off a few hours helped with the filters. I used it for a year before the filter light started to blink.

I'm not sure about that. I do know that this little machine sits on top of my refrigerator and makes the air in the whole front part of my house: kitchen, living room and front entrance hall, smell clean and fresh.....even when all the windows are open in the summer. I have 5 dogs and 2 cats, all indoor pets, and my home sure doesn't smell like the zoo that it is. I really love it. Thinking about getting another unit for the rooms at the other end of the hall.

Yes!!! It is great. My sister and I have both used it. We have cats and dogs and it eliminate both smells. Buy it! They have excellent customer service, they call and check with you.

I have two female cats that usually don't spray unless they get stressed out. Last summer I moved and they really did a number on my old house. When they were still showing some stressed behavior (not spraying) my vet suggested Feliway. I re-ordered Feliway (it's much cheaper than from the vet) and plan on continuing use. Did it stop them from spraying? I don't know. Do they seem calmer now? Yes. I'll definitely continue to use Feliway for the sake of my sanity as well as theirs.

Cindy I used the Feliway brand spray along with a Feliway plug-in atomizer in each room of my house... I have a large 2-story house! It was definitely worth it because the cat fights, spraying, etc. did stop!! the Feliway seemed to relax my cats. Now when I take any of my cats to the vet. I spray some of the Feliway aerosol inside the carrier to help them to relax during the trip! Some vets have the plug-ins in the room where they examine cats! It worked for me... good luck!

Tough to say if it reduce or eliminate the odor for your application but it has made a huge reduction in the allergy related issues in our house. The unit has several speeds and on the highest speed it is much quieter than a fan on high speed.

I think you can use feliway occasionally but I would start using it a few days before visitors arrive to give it time to fill the house. It shouldn't dry out in between uses as it takes heat to get the feliway in the air (the diffuser heats the "wick" and that's how feliway gets in air. It is more of a stick than a wick)
