Dorwest Scullcap & Valerian Tablets for Dogs & Cats
Dorwest's Scullcap & Valerian tablets help to naturally reduce your pet's stress or anxiety with no drowsiness.
We know it can be stressful to experience and manage your pet`s anxiety but Dorwest are here to help. Dorwest's Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help to naturally relax your pet, with the active herbs naturally supporting the calming pathways within the nervous system, reducing anxiety without immobilising muscles or causing drowsiness. They don’t make pets dopey or wobbly; in fact they are widely used for agility and show dogs when they need to be alert and focussed, but calm.
Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help tackle stress, fear and anxiety, whatever the cause, so you and your pet can relax, no matter what.
How do these tablets work? The specially selected ingredients in Scullcap & Valerian Tablets work together to help tackle stress, fear and anxiety in your pet:
Valerian - helps to support the natural relaxant pathways within the nervous system, without affecting muscles.
Scullcap - contains a number of valuable compounds including those which bind to the GABA receptor and reduce anxiety.
Mistletoe - helps to support the natural calming pathways within the nervous system and helps circulation.
Gentian - supports the other natural active compounds and helps maintain normal liver function.
What situations are Scullcap & Valerian Tablets good for? Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help to support the natural calming pathways within the nervous system, making them useful in a variety of challenging situations:
- Noise phobias (fireworks/thunderstorms)
- New home/rescue
- Separation anxiety
- Travelling
- Habitual anxiety
- Canine cognitive dysfunction and associated confusion/disorientation
- Training/performance support
- False pregnancy - dog can become anxious and unsettled
- Hyperactive dogs
- Territorial urine spraying in cats
- Skin sensitivity in nervous dogs
- Conditions that are exacerbated by a heightened state of anxiety or nervous excitability
There are no quick fixes when it comes to successfully helping your dog to manage their anxiety or fears for the long-term. Often, gentle and consistent behavioural work and training are required to help them to respond more positively to stressful situations, which takes time. This process is likely to be more effective when your dog is more relaxed, and this is where Scullcap & Valerian Tablets can help.
Can be used in conjunction with fast acting Dorwest Valerian Compound for one off stressful events.
*NOW sugar-free and tablet is more easily crushable for easier administration*
