Feliway products: Besides $4, what is the difference between the Feliway Plug-In Diffuser with Refill, 48 Milliliters Feliway Plug-In Diffuser with Refill, 48 Milliliters at $23 and the Comfort Zone with Feliway Diffuser for Cats, 48 ml Comfort Zone...

i think they are from 2 different companies -- one from ceva, the other from farnam. the feliway is the same, so the diffusers must be different

I do not know of any sure fire way except the obvious...dilute the liquid with water or unplug it for a few hours a day or overnight. It seems to bring a lot of peace to our two cats. They always sleep for hours in the room where the diffuser is plugged. Buy refills in quantity to safe....good luck

Go to the feliway product site for this information. as of yet it is NOT on the market and you will still be able to get the old diffusers for a long time to come. also note that the diffuser Must be changed every 6 months for optimal use. The mist will eventually clog the pores of the diffuser not allowing a consistent flow of mist. Hope the info helps :) TimelesstoysLLC

I'm sorry I don't know that because I'm not familiar with that brand. The refills of feliway are round screw in tops if that is any help?? I have used them with other generic brand diffusers and they fit fine. Wish I could be of more help

THe Comfort Zone diffuser was really effective on our 8 year old cat that wanted to kill my mother's cat guest. The collar and spray were used on the guest. You can't change their minds about hating each other. We are on 11 acres here, and the two cats did get into it a few times. Our cat would stop during the attacks and shake her head and just lie down in confusion. We just used the wipes in the carrier for transport, but we did keep applying the spray to the guest - wiping it on with our hands. The diffuser was very calming for our cat indoors. No help for it once she went out.

Yes, Melanie, they are the same size. I do this often. I really no longer know which diffuser came for cat and which came for dog.They both work for either dog or cat.

I read somewhere that Feliway is 'stronger' than Comfort Zone. That's why I believe it's more expensive.

It should fit, but I also just read (in the directions of newly purchased Feliway diffuser) that I should be discarding my diffusers after 6 months of continuous use. Never knew that! I would purchase a new diffuser if you find that the fit seems in any way off.

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.

You can use the same diffuser - bottles are the same. I don't feel the comfort zone has as much pheromone in it. When I plug in my feliway I can smell it for weeks, whereas with the comfort zone I was only able to for a number of days. I guess the effectiveness may have to do with what issues you are dealing with.

Debbie - I did purchase Feliway for the purpose of trying to calm my two feral cats that are in the process of being domesticated so that we could visit the vet. Not easy. The drive was about 30 minutes. The vet was familiar with Feliway and thought it fine for us to use. I did, however, follow a friend's advice and asked the vet for a tranquilizer that I can put into her food for the next visit. She gave me some but we've not used them yet. How do you intend to keep during the drive? In a carrier? Sorry I could not really comment on the Feliway but let me know how the trip worked out. Good luck!

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!

Yes I bought feliway first but was out and picked up some last minute comfort zone- no difference

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)

I have used Feliway primarily to keep our cats calm while we were in the process of moving from one house to another. We placed it in a small bathroom where their litter box was located. It did the trick in keeping them calm. We also used it some after we moved into a home with much more open room space. I think it lasted longer in the smaller space (maybe 3 weeks continuously plugged in),but I did not really keep tabs on it since it serve our need in the move. Now we only use it occasionally when we may be gone for a weekend and someone other than us feeds them. It may have to do with ventilation and location of where you have it plugged in.

I have no idea! Lol! I did use the all pets ones for a while and she seemed calm but still had the occasional twitches of anxiety. When my cat get anxious she tends to think her tale is a foreign object and will bite and scratch at it. I got the feline one hoping that it would be stronger or something so I wouldnt have to put her back on valium. I don't know what the difference is but the feline one seems to keep her calmer through out the day than the all pets.

That, I don't know. I was having trouble with my cat marking and since using comfort zone my cat has stopped marking and seems more relaxed and calmer. Good luck.
