Sentry Good Behavior Pheromone Collar for Cats

I just bought my cat the sentry collar within 2 hours her nose started bleeding and sneezing. It may be that she had an allergic reaction to it. The collar works great she calmed down within the hour I placed it on her. But her bleeding from the nose and sneezing concerned me so I took off the collar.

So sorry about your Sassy's eye and I share your reservations about these collars. After trying the vet-recommended NurtureCalm collar, which worked to calm but also gave my cat a bald spot within a few days, I have been mulling how to use these collars as spring approaches - when my cats tend to display more aggression than usual. And one cat has stress-related sterile cystitis, so need to keep him calm - just not bald. I use the diffusers and the sprays but need more, especially for a couple males who can't control their urge to dominate. I bought several of the Sentry collars and plan to cut them into pieces and fashion a clip-on amulet from a lobster clasp and a flat, wide shoe string into which I'll insert a segment of the collar and then sew it to the ring at the bottom of the clasp. I have many cats and no way I would be able to buy collars for all of them that would have to be replaced every month or so. Hoping this way to get more mileage out of them without skin reactions - we shall see....

I have read on various sites that these "calming" collars should never be used around the cat's neck, but cut up in pieces and placed around the areas she scratches. You are not alone as far as what happened to your cat. Check out other sites or Google the collar to see how much company you have. I wish both of you a fast recovery. Try Bach's Flower Essenses or Feliway spray. Neither will hurt your kitty.

I use this product when I take my cat to the vet. He is a handful, but he is manageable with the collar on. It could just be coincidence or the nice new vet, I don't know for sure.

i'd like to know how your baby is doing now as well. yes, sentry, hartz, and sargents all bad stuff. feliaway if i misspelled sorry is ok my vets say. actually when cats act up there is a reason for it just like when we do. sedating them covers them up like drugging us. better to figure out why. like company or new family member or pet or anything different, litter or food changes, anything cause acting out.

Oh no!!! I'm sorry to hear that!!! How's she doing now? At our home, we use(d) 3 feliway diffusers (we've actually backed off to only 1 now, in the bedroom where most of the hissing takes place when its time to settle in for the night).

wow, that is terrible. I've never heard of the product. They probably don't sell them in Australia.

omg I hope your cat is okay, that poor thing didn't need to go through all of that.

I bought one of these, but didn't even get to put it on the cat, as it snapped when i straightened it, dropping white crusty powder ll over the floor. The vet sprayed Feliway in my carrier for me, and swears by that instead

Yes, Sentry/Seargents products are not safe for cats. Any of them. Ever. Hope your kitty pulls through okay.
