Ok so I'm a little confused.

Is there a difference between the Feliway that is in the white and blue box and the Feliway that is in the pink box???


I am trying to find the best deal on amazon for the diffusers and the white and blue box is the best deal.

Is there a difference????


Please help!!!!

one is avail at the vets and is the same as the pink which is the OTC packageing... likely the color difference is marketing

Let me know where you buy it from! I need to get some as I used my last one tonight so I've got about a month before I need more.

If it's only available at the Vet why is it on Amazon.com for a cheaper price than the pink one????

I have both types of packaging, also ordered (separate times) from Amazon.
Here is what they say:

The pink and purple box says:
Composition:
Analogue of feline facial pheromones, 2%
Excipients to 100 g.

The purple and gray box says:
Composition:
Synthetic analogue of F3 fraction of Feline Facial Pheromones, 2%
Excipients to 100 g.

Both say Made in France, so I am guessing the ingredients list is translated from French. The purple and gray box has the features listed in both French and English, while the purple and pink box is in English only.

I am pretty sure it is the identical product and the difference is only packaging. Maybe one is an older design, or maybe they are intended for different markets (Canada and the U.S., or the U.S. and international).

I also took a pic of both boxes side by side where you can see the ingredients, even though it is a bit blurry, but I'm not sure how to post the image (I clicked on the image icon but got a confusing box). Here is the link:

HTH.

edited to add: I was also shocked at the difference in price when ordered online! It costs more than twice as much at my local Petsmart and Petco. I also could hardly believe it would be the same product if I order it online, it seemed impossible that I would pay less than half and get the same thing. But that's how it works for this product, it's just a lot cheaper online, on Amazon or even other sites. A lot of pet products are cheaper online but it's especially noticeable with the Feliway.
