🐾 Helpful Tips

At TopSum, we believe that understanding your pet’s emotions is the first step toward creating a calm and happy home. Our pheromone diffusers are designed to naturally support your cat’s or dog’s sense of comfort — but knowing how and when to use them can make all the difference. Here are some helpful tips to help you get the best results for your furry friend.

 

How Pheromones Work

Cats and dogs communicate through pheromones — invisible, scent-based signals that trigger emotional responses. When your pet feels safe and content, they naturally release “comfort pheromones.” TopSum’s products gently replicate these same signals using scientifically proven formulas that promote calm behavior.

For cats, pheromones can reduce hiding, scratching, spraying, and tension between multiple cats. For dogs, they can ease reactions to new environments, loud noises, or separation from family members. Think of pheromones as nature’s way of saying, “You’re safe here.”

Getting the Best Results

1. Use consistently.
Keep your diffuser plugged in 24/7 in the room where your pet spends most of their time. Pheromones work gradually, creating a stable, reassuring environment over time.

2. Choose the right placement.
Place the diffuser away from open windows, doors, and air vents to ensure even distribution. One diffuser covers up to about 750 sq ft — larger spaces may need more than one unit.

3. Replace refills regularly.
Each refill lasts around 30 days. To maintain continuous calm, replace the bottle on time and the diffuser unit every six months.

4. Combine with positive habits.
Pheromones work best when paired with gentle interaction, daily play, and a consistent routine. Encourage good behavior with praise, and avoid punishment when your pet feels anxious — it may increase stress.

5. Give it time.
Every pet is unique. Some cats and dogs respond within a few days, while others may need two to three weeks to show improvement. Patience and consistency are key.

Extra Tips for Cat Owners

• Provide cozy hiding spots and vertical spaces — cats love feeling in control of their territory.

• Avoid sudden changes to litter box location or household layout.

• During travel or vet visits, pair a TopSum spray with a familiar blanket or carrier.

Extra Tips for Dog Owners

• Use pheromone sprays before introducing new environments, car rides, or visitors.

• Combine pheromones with calm routines — gentle walks, slow breathing, and reassuring touch.

• For puppies, early use of pheromones can help prevent fear responses later in life.
