At Summit Veterinary Care, we know that cats have their own unique way of experiencing the world—and often, the vet’s office isn’t their favorite place. That’s why we go above and beyond to create a cat-friendly, Fear Free® experience, starting with one of our favorite tools: Feliway.
If you’ve ever struggled with a stressed-out cat during travel or vet visits, Feliway may be the calming support you’ve been looking for.
What Is Feliway?
Feliway is a synthetic version of the natural pheromones cats release when they feel safe, secure, and content—think of the scent-marking behavior they do by rubbing their face on furniture or your legs.
When we use Feliway around our clinic, in carriers, or on towels during appointments, we’re sending a silent message to your cat: “This is a safe space.”
How We Use Feliway at Summit Veterinary Care
Because we are a Fear Free Certified Practice, we’ve designed our entire clinic—right down to the smells—to help reduce stress and anxiety.
For our feline patients, we use Feliway in several ways:
- Sprayed on towels in carriers before you arrive
- Sprayed on scrubs of doctors & technicians
- Diffused in our cat-only exam rooms during your visit
For Use at Home, Too
Feliway isn’t just for vet visits. It’s incredibly helpful for:
- Introducing a new cat or pet into your home
- Moving to a new space or after a remodel
- Helping with litter box issues or inter-cat tension
Cats Deserve Calm, Too
Veterinary care shouldn’t be scary—for you or your cat. With tools like Feliway, Calm & Cozy Cat Wraps, and our client and patient amenities, we work to make every visit as stress-free as possible.
Because when your cat feels safe, we can focus on what matters most: keeping them happy and healthy.
