For best results, we recommend starting Scullcap & Valerian Tablets at least three weeks before fireworks and giving them every day. This helps gradually build up the active calming compounds in your dog's system before the bangs begin.
Even if your dog wasn’t worried by fireworks last year, it’s still worth preparing early. Sometimes just one unexpected experience or another stressful event earlier in the year can make a dog more sensitive to the loud noises and lights during fireworks season. After all, it’s much easier to keep your dog calm than to try and settle them once they are already hiding, shaking, panting or pacing.
Starting early gives you time to introduce calming support alongside simple preparation, such as creating a safe space and getting them used to background noise before fireworks season begins.
