Some sort of plug-in smelly device that drugs your dog/cat?
How does this work?

What effect has it on humans?
Is anyone buying such a thing totally mad?

Something we can agree on!

I can see that perhaps a catnip dispenser might work on those evil
*******s, but you have to wonder about what might work on both species.

People do have strange ideas, I heard of someone taking a sachet of
"bute" for a headache when they had run out of paracetamol.
Phenylbutazone is a painkiller / anti-inflamatory used on horses, a
sachet is the dose for 500 kg of animal. They were not well afterwards.

Totally.
Did you notice the small print disclaimer at the bottom of the screen
suggesting you might want to refer your pet to a shrink?

"Feliway is a synthetic copy of one of the feline facial pheromones (F3) used by cats to mark their territory boundaries."

None, unless the smell of a cat has an effect on you. You can buy (apparently) human pheronomes

There are two different products. Feliway for cats and Adaptil for dogs.
They are pheromone dispensers and have been sold by vets for many years.
I've never had an animal that showed any signs of stress, so I've not
tried them.

The suppliers seem to have missed the biggest potential market of all,
can they not develop one that drugs children.

Unlikely to be possible for it to distinguish between children and adults.

I thought that was what Gripe Water was for.

I was going to say it had been replaced with Rohypnol, then realised I meant Ritalin.

In days past, young children were given a twist of cloth, containing
sugar soaked in rum, to suck. It could keep them quiet all day.

I presume they will be using appeasement pheromones, rather than sex
pheromones.

What seems to be needed is baby laudanum.

I'm pretty sure that used to be available (not in my lifetime,
though).

My partner does. It was how the field workers on her Uncle's estate kept
their kids quiet when taking in the harvest: Give them a rum soaked
twist and put them under a hedge.

Some have never heard of phenegan (sp?).
Its an anti histamine for kids that you can buy over the counter and its
main side effect is drowsiness.

Do you mean diphenhydramine, perhaps?

Opium Tincture 0.083ml per 5ml so not much as Opium tincture contains 10
mg of anhydrous morphine per one ml.

Very few chemists seem to stock it as it's well known in the drug-using community (google tells me).
