Setup and Installation

Setting up your SENTRY® Portable Calming Diffuser is quick and easy. Follow these steps to begin providing a calming environment for your cat:

1. Remove the cartridge from packaging: Carefully open the product packaging and take out the pheromone cartridge.
2. Prepare the cartridge: On the backside of the cartridge, pull the foil tab downward to remove the seal backing. This exposes the pheromone for release.
3. Insert into holder: Slide the prepared cartridge back into the diffuser holder along its internal tracks. Ensure it is seated securely.
4. Placement: Place the diffuser in an area your pet frequently visits, such as social areas, sleeping spots, or resting places. Ensure good airflow to the desired location for optimal diffusion.

Maintenance

To ensure continuous effectiveness of your SENTRY® Portable Calming Diffuser, regular cartridge replacement is necessary.

• Cartridge Replacement: After approximately 30 days of use, the pheromone liquid in the cartridge may be depleted. Replace the used cartridge with a new SENTRY® Refill.
• Disposal: Dispose of the used cartridge in household trash.

Note: Even if some liquid remains, the pheromone may have evaporated by the end of 30 days. For best results, replace the cartridge monthly.

Troubleshooting

If you observe that the diffuser is not effectively calming your cat, consider the following:

• Placement: Ensure the diffuser is placed in an area with good air circulation and where your cat spends a significant amount of time. Avoid placing it directly on the floor, as this may impede proper diffusion.
• Cartridge Life: Verify that the cartridge has not exceeded its 30-day effective period. Replace if necessary.
• Environmental Factors: Extreme environmental stressors (e.g., loud, continuous noises, new pets, significant household changes) might require additional calming strategies in conjunction with the diffuser.
