About FELIWAY
FELIWAY is the pheromone-therapy brand of Ceva Santé Animale (Ceva Animal Health), a multinational animal health company headquartered in Libourne, France. Ceva is the world's fifth-largest animal health company and the leading French company in the sector, with operations across dozens of countries. FELIWAY itself dates back to 1996, when it launched as the first pheromone product ever developed for companion animals, built around a synthetic copy of the cat's own F3 facial-marking pheromone. Ceva has since become a reference brand in pet behavior, running FELIWAY alongside its ADAPTIL line for dogs, and backs the FELIWAY range with more than 30 placebo-controlled efficacy studies published in international scientific journals.
The FELIWAY lineup has grown from the original Classic diffuser into a full range: FELIWAY Optimum, a newer pheromone complex the company spent over eight years developing; FELIWAY MultiCat, aimed at tension between cats sharing a household; and Happy Snack by FELIWAY, a lickable purée treat line that extends the brand's calming focus into a daily feeding ritual rather than a diffuser or spray. Happy Snack is made with real chicken and is free of gluten, added sugars, and preservatives, and it's the product that earned FELIWAY its place in our cat calming treats reviews.

Why we recognized FELIWAY
The House of Mittens Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our vet-reviewed category guides. FELIWAY earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against feline-health criteria, used with real cats, and judged on merit.
FELIWAY products we rated highly
Happy Snack by FELIWAY Lickable Puree Cat Treats, Chicken, 12 Tubes
A lickable purée format that solves the acceptance problem more reliably than a chew, including with cats that clamp their mouth shut at solid treats or won't eat anything inside a carrier. It holds a 4.4-star average in our reviews, the joint-highest in the roundup, and hand-feeding a tube doubles as its own calming ritual: a focused, repetitive, positive task during a nail trim or a wait in a vet's reception. The tubes are sealed single servings that travel well, and the line comes from the maker of the pheromone products most veterinary clinics already use.
