Benefits of Scullcap & Valerian

Naturally calm stress or anxiety without drowsiness

Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help to naturally relax your pet, with the active herbs supporting the calming pathways within the nervous system, reducing anxiety without immobilising muscles or causing drowsiness. They don’t make pets drowsy or wobbly – in fact they are widely used for agility and show dogs when they need to be alert and focussed, but calm. As one of our best-sellers, they help tackle stress, fear and anxiety, whatever the cause, so you and your pet can relax, no matter what.

How do they work?

The specially selected ingredients in our 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.

When can Scullcap & Valerian Tablets be helpful?

Our Scullcap & Valerian Tablets can help to calm your dog 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
  • Conditions that are exacerbated by a heightened state of anxiety or nervous excitability

Supporting calm, the natural way

Helping a dog feel more confident and relaxed is rarely about a quick fix. Long-term support often involves patience, consistency and positive training to help them cope better with everyday challenges.

By helping your dog feel more settled, Scullcap & Valerian Tablets can play a supportive role alongside behavioural work, making it easier for them to respond calmly as they learn and adapt over time. For fast-acting support, the tablets can also be paired with our Valerian Compound, on their own or as a top-up, the liquid gets to work within 30 minutes and lasts for up to 2 hours.

Testimonials

My dog has been on these tablets for a few weeks now and I can definitely see a change in her; she’s much more relaxed and confident in new surroundings and situations. I also use the Valerian Compound for very challenging situations like vets visits with excellent results.

We have used this product for many years and it has always helped our dogs in various stressful situations, from fireworks, new experiences, travelling and new dogs joining the pack

I have kept this supplement in our house for 25 years for thunderstorms, travel and more. I now have a dog who is on it permanently for his anxiety. This enables him to learn and be calmer (he is still an active dog on this).

Scullcap & Valerian Tablets and Valerian Compound are something I couldn’t do without come Bonfire night and New Year’s Eve. They are a massive help for my dogs and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough! They are a must have for any pet owners with sensitive or nervous pets. Thank you Dorwest Herbs ❤️
