Dorwest Scullcap and Valerian Tablets for Dogs and Cats
Dorwest Scullcap and Valerian Tablets are the ultimate herbal combination in a sugar-coated tablet, invaluable to calm and relax dogs and cats suffering from excitability, apprehension, phobias or hyperactivity.
Widely used and particularly effective for those suffering from noise phobias as a result of fireworks, thunderstorms or gunfire.
Scullcap and Valerian does not cause drowsiness or impair normal behaviour or performance, making it suitable for those who just need to be settled for showing, travelling, training or obedience work.
In cats, it is also effective in the control of territorial spraying by keeping the cat relaxed and so reducing the urge to mark territory. This is more often a problem in neutered males but is a behaviour that can also be found in dominant females.
Indicated for:
- 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
Ingredients:
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
