To address these common stress-related issues, Virbac , a global leader in animal health, has introduced ZENIFELTM Pheromone Products, a solution designed to calm cats and improve their well-being. By combining feline facial pheromones with plant-based Nepeta cataria extracts (commonly known as catnip), ZENIFELTM Pheromone Products help cats feel calm and secure in even the most stressful situations.
"We're expanding our behavior portfolio because we understand the critical need for effective and practical tools to manage pet stress," said Giovanni Abruzzini, president and CEO of Virbac US. "ZENIFELTM Pheromone Products not only reduce stress-related behaviors but offer pet owners a flexible, long-lasting solution that fits seamlessly into their daily lives. This innovation reflects our commitment to improving the bond between pets and their families."
ZENIFELTM Pheromone Products: Designed for convenience and results
ZENIFELTM Pheromone Products are available in two formats:
ZENIFELTM Gel Diffuser is an innovation in this category. It uses a slow-release technology to provide up to two months of calming effects-twice as long as other market-leading products-without requiring an electrical outlet.3,4 Covering areas up to 750 square feet, it has been shown to reduce signs of stress by up to 80%.4
ZENIFELTM Spray delivers quick results with a portable, odorless formula perfect for travel, clinic visits or sudden stressful events. Each bottle provides a minimum of 400 sprays and has been proven more efficient than competitors.5
Both solutions are ideal for reducing stress during veterinary visits, adapting to unfamiliar environments and managing stress-induced behaviors at home.
