Zenifel Gel Diffuser

Virbac Zenifel Gel Diffuser

The battery-free pheromone solution for a relaxed home with cats.

Nearly all cats (up to 98%) develop stress-related behavioral issues at least once in their lives. These often manifest as scratching furniture, soiling, withdrawal, hiding, or running away.

Triggers can include stressful situations such as loud noises, moving to a new home, changes in daily routines, travel in a mobile kennel, or living with multiple cats.

The Zenifel Gel Diffuser offers a natural and innovative way to reduce stress-related behavior in cats. It combines a calming cat pheromone (feline facial pheromone F3) with catnip, ensuring particularly high effectiveness.

Thanks to innovative gel technology featuring a special “prolonged-release matrix,” the pheromones are released evenly, continuously, and in precisely measured doses. Help your cat find peace and relaxation—with Zenifel’s long-lasting, battery-free solution.

The Zenifel Gel Diffuser was developed in collaboration with cat owners and cat behavior experts. It contains feline facial pheromones and catnip and helps cats of all sizes and ages calm down in stressful situations. The goal is to reduce stress-related behaviors such as excessive grooming, scratching, running away, hiding, increased vocalization, or urine marking in inappropriate places.

Cats naturally release various pheromones to communicate with one another and respond to their environment. This includes the feline facial pheromone, which is secreted by glands in the cheek and chin areas.

Pheromones are species-specific, invisible, and odorless chemical messengers that convey moods and emotions. The Zenifel Gel Diffuser contains a synthetically produced pheromone modeled after the cat’s natural facial pheromone, as well as catnip, which has a calming effect on many cats. Studies show that stress-related behavior can be reduced by up to 80% in this way.

The long-lasting, battery-free gel diffuser is suitable for cats of all sizes and ages. A noticeable calming effect can be observed within just one week.

Common stress triggers for cats include:

• Changes in daily routines, e.g., new feeding times
• Households with multiple cats and/or living with dogs
• Loud noises such as fireworks, thunderstorms, or construction work
• Moving and settling into a new home with unfamiliar smells
• Being alone (separation anxiety)
• Events at home, such as barbecues or family gatherings
• Bringing a new pet or a new person into the household
• Car rides
• Visits to the vet

According to estimates, about 98% of all cats exhibit behavioral issues at some point in their lives. In most cases, this is a reaction to stressful situations. Calming support can provide noticeable relief for both cats and their owners.

The Zenifel Gel Diffuser is also a sustainable choice, as it comes in recyclable cardboard packaging printed with plant-based inks.
