By developing FELIWAY® and ADAPTIL® (previously DAP®), Ceva has revolutionised the approach to behaviour disorders in companion animals and has committed firmly to behavioural medicine.

With the support of the few world-renowned experts in the field, the Group provided the veterinary profession with a set of tools and postgraduate training courses as early as 1994: ETEC® behavioural assessment grid, seminars and training courses on the approach to behavioural issues in dogs and cats, conferences in almost all European countries and in the USA, etc.
This provided vets with an opportunity to familiarise themselves with this discipline and meet the legitimate expectations of their customers since companion animals were becoming increasingly integrated into the family unit.
Among the products that marked our entry into the behavioural field and then took Ceva to the rank of world leader in behavioural drugs for cats and dogs, we will mention:-

FELIWAY® and ADAPTIL® : Pheromone based products

Pheromones are compounds that are naturally secreted by animals so that they can communicate with members of the same species. During lactation for example, female dogs secrete a pheromone that reassures their pups when they are close to them. Similarly, cats secrete facial pheromones which they deposit in known places in order to mark a familiar territory.
Ceva Animal Health has developed synthetic analogues of some of these natural pheromones.

For cats:

• FELIWAY® (feline facial pheromones)

Used in stressful situations (moving house, transport, presence of other animals, etc.) FELIWAY® gives the cat its "bearings" and thus prevents the stress which can generate disturbing behaviour (urine-marking, scratching, aggressiveness).
The use of FELIWAY® spray or the FELIWAY® diffuser will artificially reproduce the facial marking that is natural to cats.

For dogs:

• ADAPTIL®: Dog Appeasing Pheromone

ADAPTIL® is the synthetic equivalent of the pheromone secreted by bitches to reassure their pups on contact. ADAPTIL® helps dogs handle stressful situations better (separation, weaning, transport, fear of noise, firework displays, etc.) and enables them to adapt to new situations. It is therefore indispensable during the socialisation period of puppies. ADAPTIL® is available as a diffuser or collar.  For more detailed information see the Adaptil website  www.adaptil.com/au  

• THUNDERSHIRT

ThunderShirt  patented design applies gentle, constant pressure on a dog's torso, and this pressure has an amazing calming effect for most dogs.  See the ThunderShirt website     https://www.thundershirtaus.com/
