Efficacy of cat synthetic facial pheromones in reducing stress during examination in veterinary clinic compared to placebo
The study was conducted in order to verify the hypothesis of the sedative effect of the preparation FELIWAY® in the prophylactic examination in a veterinary clinic. It was a double-blind placebo controlled study. The examined population consisted of 48 cats, of different breeds, sexes and ages. Analysis of the results showed that preparation had no effect on limiting the stress and animals were calmer during the test phase with placebo (P=0.028). Stratification of the results showed that the degree of stress during the test was related only to the age of the cat (P<0.001).
