Pheromone Diffusers

Comfort Zone

A pheromone is a chemical that household pets emit that changes the behavior of another animal of the same species. Just like people, pets such as dogs and cats, can get stressed from factors such as change in environment or a new home, a new family member, or merely that bothersome cat next door, can cause unwanted behaviors. This can be manifested by characteristics of destructiveness, marking or urinating in the house, as well as excessive barking or meowing. Synthetic pheromones are species-specific which means that it will have no effect on humans or other animals. Thus, pheromone diffusers are plugged in electrical sockets to produce drugs that is used to specifically treat stressed-out dogs or cats. Although effective, the device poses a fire hazard! Needless to say, there are safer alternatives available in stores such as pheromone-based pet grooming products.
