Animal behavioUr & well-being

Products for your pet's well-being: promote their balance

Solutions designed to promote animal comfort, balance, and well-being

Animal well-being relies on many factors: environment, lifestyle habits, mobility, physical comfort, and emotional balance. Throughout their lives, animals may face situations that can disrupt this balance, whether it be a change in routine, travel, physical discomfort, or undesirable behaviours. These situations can affect their quality of life as well as that of their owners. AB7 develops and manufactures solutions designed to support animal well-being, maintain daily comfort, and encourage appropriate behaviours.

Supporting animal well-being every day

Pets contribute to their owners' well-being. In return, it is essential to look after their comfort and balance every day. An animal's needs evolve according to their age, environment, and lifestyle. Certain occasional situations, such as transport, a vet visit, or the arrival of a new pet in the home, may require specific support. Other needs are more long-term, particularly when it comes to preserving mobility, comfort, or encouraging the learning of appropriate behaviours.

Thanks to its expertise in animal health, AB7 supports its partners in the development of solutions dedicated to animal well-being and behaviour, by combining formulation quality, innovation, and industrial mastery.

Our solutions and expertise

Discover our various products

Soothing and behavioural solutions
Pets can face occasional or recurring situations that may affect their peace of mind. Our range of soothing solutions is designed to help maintain daily calm and foster a reassuring environment. The formulations may include carefully selected essential oils as well as pheromone analogues. The latter replicate certain signals naturally emitted by the animal to help create a reassuring and calm environment.

Depending on the intended use, these solutions can be developed in various dosage forms such as collars, sprays, diffusers for the animal's environment, or spot-on. These formats help support different daily situations, whether for continuous use at home or occasional use during potentially stressful events like travel or a veterinary visit.

Animal comfort, mobility & well-being
AB7 develops solutions designed to support the comfort and mobility of animals, contribute to their daily well-being, and help maintain their activity levels. This category includes solutions specifically designed to support joint comfort in dogs and cats. With age, physical activity, or certain individual sensitivities, discomfort can arise and impact an animal's mobility and quality of life.

Issues related to animal well-being include topics such as pain in dogs or cats. The solutions developed by AB7 are part of an animal comfort approach and can be offered in various forms: collars, spot-on, or sprays.

Training and behavioural products
AB7 also develops training aids designed to help teach good habits both at home and outdoors. Primarily offered in spray form, these products help limit certain undesirable behaviours such as urine marking, damage to property, or repeated access to restricted areas. Training aids for dogs and cats thus provide a complementary approach to fostering better daily habits.

Development and manufacturing of products for animal well-being

Our expertise covers several product families dedicated to animal behaviour, comfort, and well-being:
• calming solutions based on essential oils and/or pheromone analogues;
• products for comfort and mobility based on plant-based ingredients;
• training and behavioural products based on plant-based ingredients.

Our teams are involved at every stage of the project, from formulation to industrial manufacturing, to develop solutions tailored to market needs and applicable regulatory requirements. These developments can be carried out as private label projects for our partners or integrated into our own product ranges.

Our key tips for taking care of your companions

Thanks to cutting-edge technical expertise and years of experience, our R&D department provides innovative and sustainable solutions for animal health.

Adapting the solution to the situation

Needs vary depending on whether it is a change of environment, travel, a veterinary visit, physical discomfort, or a behaviour that needs correcting. The choice of product must always take the context into account to ensure the most appropriate approach. For example, an anti-stress spray for dogs/cats can be used occasionally before a trip or a vet visit, while an anti-stress spot-on for cats or a collar for dogs may be preferred for more prolonged support.

Combining animal well-being with environmental quality

The environment plays an essential role in an animal's balance. Environmental solutions can usefully complement products applied directly to the animal. When unusual behaviour occurs, an anti-stress product for dogs or cats can be part of a comprehensive approach aimed at preserving animal well-being.

Prioritising a holistic approach

Behaviour, physical comfort, and overall well-being are closely linked. Pain in both dogs and cats can sometimes contribute to behavioural changes or a decrease in activity. Combining a calming solution with products designed for comfort and mobility helps to more effectively support the long-term well-being of dogs and cats.

Respecting the specific needs of each species

What is suitable for a dog is not necessarily appropriate for a cat. Calming products are formulated with the physiological and behavioural differences of each species in mind.

All ABOUT OUR SOLUTIONS

Answers to your questions

What types of behavioural and well-being products does AB7 develop?

Do soothing products use pheromones?

Some formulations may incorporate soothing pheromone analogues, potentially combined with selected essential oils. These analogues replicate certain signals naturally emitted by the animal, helping to create a more reassuring environment and promoting calmness in everyday situations.

Which type of soothing solution should be preferred based on the animal and the intended use?

Choosing an anti-stress product for a dog or cat depends on the animal's sensitivity and the situation. Some solutions act on an as-needed basis, while others offer a more continuous effect. They can be applied directly to the animal or diffused into its environment, and can be used in combination depending on the needs.

Some animals benefit from a prolonged effect by wearing a calming collar, while others respond better to environmental solutions like diffusers. When a cat anti-stress collar is less well-tolerated, an anti-stress spot-on can be a more suitable alternative.

Are there natural anti-stress products for dogs or cats?

Some formulations may indeed incorporate plant-based ingredients, such as essential oils known for their soothing properties. These solutions meet the growing demand for natural alternatives while contributing to the animal's overall well-being.
