Features of antigadin for cats and rules for its use

Cats are real fluffy lumps of happiness, and only one thing overshadows the joy of communicating with such animals - their habit of shitting where it cannot be done. However, this is not a reason to be upset - these days the industry has created a line of drugs that are used to raise pets, train them to the litter box and eliminate unpleasant odors in the house.

Antigadin is a complex of specially selected natural ingredients that together form a mixture with unique properties. It is formulated with ingredients that eliminate even the strongest stubborn odors of cat discharge, as well as odors that irritate animals, which can lead to a dislike for the treated area. Moreover, he begins to fear and feel a desire to be as far away from the "crime scene" as possible.

As a rule, the antigadin contains essential oils and extracts of medicinal plants, as well as special enzymes, water and aromatic fragrance - the number and percentage of components depends on the type of drug and the manufacturer, most often it is:

• extract of wormwood;
• citrus-scented essential oil;
• aroma fixer PEG-40;
• preservatives;
• water.

Thanks to the balanced combination of all active ingredients, antigadin eliminates even the most persistent and pungent odor of cat urine, which other means cannot cope with.

Antigadin is the optimal composition that can train a pet fluffy to the litter box, and it is much more effective than the usual poking of the nose in combination with screams. Do not forget that representatives of the feline family are very smart and quick-witted creatures who perfectly understand everything that people want from them. Therefore, forget about the brutal education of your cats - use modern means that in a matter of days will teach your pet to spoil carpets, floors, furniture and air.

The undoubted advantages of antigadin include the following characteristics:

• affordable price - Russian versions of the drug are much cheaper than their imported counterparts;
• ease of use - the product is produced in the form of sprays, its use does not require preliminary dilution in compliance with the proportions, the use of rags and napkins;
• no stains - the constituent ingredients do not leave stains on the furniture during processing, although manufacturers still recommend that you first carry out a small test on the product so as not to accidentally ruin the thing;
• environmental friendliness - the composition of the drug contains exclusively natural ingredients, however, ordinary consumers do not have the opportunity to make sure how this statement is true;
• versatility - antigadin can be sprayed on wood, plastic, porous and fabric surfaces;
• harmlessness - the composition does not have an adverse effect on animals, teaches them to use the tray without harming the pet's health.

Among the shortcomings are noted:

• insufficient efficiency;
• low shelf life;
• the ability to use exclusively for cats.

The disadvantages also include the pungent smell of dichlorvos, which appears immediately after using the product. He scares away not only pets, but also people. In fairness, we note that the smell quickly disappears, taking with it all the other unnecessary aromas. However, some reviews claim that there is no smell, so preference should be given to proven antigadin varieties.

Before using antigadin, you should make sure that it will not have a harmful effect on animals and people. So, the use of a spray is prohibited in homes where:

• some of the residents of the house have asthma or other respiratory diseases;
• there are small children and the elderly who are sensitive to strong odors.

The principle of action of the antigadin is that from the liquid sprayed on the surface, special enzymes begin to be released, which react with the enzymes of the cat and have a powerful repulsive effect on them, therefore cats try no longer to use such a place as a toilet. The fact is that the cat's sense of smell is much sharper than that of humans, because the human nose cannot feel all these specific smells. By the way, this is why some breeders begin to consider the drug expired, and even useless.

Please note that one treatment will not be enough - in order to achieve the desired result, you should use the spray several times. Usually the need for litter training occurs in very small kittens, they are not as sensitive as adult cats, so the training process can require significant effort, during which your apartment has every chance of turning into one large toilet. It is important at this time to be patient, and not to write off the antigadin from the accounts.

If toilet training is delayed, then you should analyze the reasons why the animal refuses to go to the litter box. They can be different. The most common cause is inadequate tray hygiene. The fact is that cats are naturally very clean animals, so they will never relieve themselves in a dirty litter box.In this situation, they will simply start looking for a new area for the tray.

Cats can avoid the toilet if they are not comfortable with its location. The litter box should be in a quiet place where nothing and no one can disturb the pet. If the source of the problems is precisely this, no anti-creeps will help here.

Some cats start going to the toilet in unauthorized places immediately after castration - in this case, they do not need to mark a strictly defined territory and they begin to put tags in all places in a row. Often, the situation is complicated even after another pet appears in the apartment, then the animal may feel jealousy and fear of losing the location of the owners. This often causes cats to leave their scent all over the area.

It happens that it is painful for animals with urolithiasis to relieve themselves. In this situation, they demand to change the place of the toilet, believing that this will alleviate their condition. Go to meet your pet and do not forget to consult a doctor for an appointment for a course of therapy.

Today on sale you can find a wide selection of analogs of antigadin of Russian and foreign production - they differ in price and level of effectiveness. Let's consider the most popular formulations.

• "DO NOT crap" - it is a Russian spray that includes natural essential oils, as well as glycerin and water. The composition has a rather strong odor and is used to train not only cats and cats, but also dogs to the tray. The drug is quite specific, so an allergy to its components is possible.

• Spray Lotion "Shit? No" - another domestic composition containing red pepper extracts. It has a very pungent aroma that irritates not only pets, but also people. However, according to reviews, in 90% of cases, the spray is highly effective.

• Mr. Fresh is an aluminosilicate with a pronounced citrus scent. Easy to use, allows you to thoroughly process any surface. The manufacturers do not indicate any side effects.

• Stop-it Cat - a repellent spray from Holland, the main component of which is methyl ethyl ketone - a synthetic essential oil that irritates the respiratory tract of a pet. It is one of the most effective spraying agents, however, the manufacturer notes that it should only be used in well-ventilated rooms. Otherwise, there is a high risk of developing allergic reactions, up to Quincke's edema.

• Happy cat Is a Japanese formula containing hot pepper extract and menthol. Due to its balanced composition, the drug not only scares away cats, but also quickly removes any odors. The product can be used for cats and dogs.

Using antigadin spray at home is very simple. First, you need to thoroughly clean the floor without the use of chemical cleaning agents. The fact is that the active ingredients of the drug react with phenols and chlorine - their smell interrupts the aroma of the antigadin, and use will not have any result. The same goes for furniture and any other surfaces that are wiped with plain water.

Before spraying, the spray bottle should be shaken vigorously, then spray the product from a short distance.Keep in mind that only wetted surfaces should be treated - the water will allow the spray ingredients to be absorbed into the pores of the surface, and thus will contribute to the greater effectiveness of the drug.

The antigadin reaches its maximum efficiency 2-3 hours after treatment, during this period it is necessary to ensure that the pet does not start looking for a new area to cope with needs. If after the first use the antigadin does not have the desired result, you can repeat the treatment. Throughout the entire period of accustoming to the tray, it is imperative to change the toilet filler and clean the "bathroom" itself.

Despite the fact that the creators of the antigadin assure of its increased effectiveness and absolute safety, user reviews often cast doubt on this. Some breeders claim that the spray works for them, but no fewer buyers say that using it did not bring any effect. This is not surprising, the fact is that each animal has its own individual spectrum of hateful scents, which can be associated with the individual preferences of the cat, the owner's habits and the environment.

For example, cats cannot stand the smell of tobacco. However, if the owner constantly smokes, then sooner or later the cats will get used to it, and no sprays based on this scent will act as a repeller. Therefore, users recommend using antigadin, but at the same time, do not forget about mild educational measures and the creation of all the sanitary and hygienic conditions necessary to cope with the needs.
