How do they work?

Our Scullcap & Valerian Tablets, when given daily, can help naturally relax your pet and make sure that they are in a calmer state. They support the calming pathways within the nervous system, naturally reducing anxiety without making pets drowsy or wobbly.

Administration:
1 tablet per 5kgs bodyweight daily, increased to double as and when needed.

For best results, we advice that Scullcap & Valerian Tablets are used every day for a minimum of three weeks, ideally alongside gentle and consistent behavioural work and training. By reducing anxiety to a more manageable level, the tablets increase the likelihood that your pet will be more responsive to training.

Separation Anxiety

Our pets love our company as much as we love theirs, so it's unsurprising so many pets struggle with separation anxiety.

Here are our top tips to help your pet…

• It’s important we build up the time alone slowly and positively, ensuring your pet feels safe and secure when home alone. Start by building up the time you can spend in another room from your pet, then slowly the time outside of your home.

• Invest in a pet camera so you can monitor your pet’s response to being left alone. Also, leave behind an enrichment matt or their favourite chew to keep them occupied.

• Consult a qualified professional for behavioural training advice if needed.

• While building up the duration that your pet can cope with when left alone, our Scullcap & Valerian Tablets can help them to naturally relax – reducing anxiety so they are able to build up a good emotional response during the training.

We are proud to say we have been able to fully support pet owners through our best selling Scullcap & Valerian Tablets, plus our expert advice from our product advisors!

Prepare them to feel calm and ready to meet others

Socialising our dogs is not only crucial for their learning and development but is also great for building their confidence. However, many of our dogs find being in social situations stressful and daunting.

If your dog is anxious on walks and when meeting others, there are ways you can help! Our Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help tackle stress, fear and anxiety, allowing your dog to focus and feel calmer!

Behavioural training can help too...

Welcoming Guests into Your Garden or Home
Whether you have an adult dog or a younger puppy, we want to treat encounters with guests in your home as if this is a brand new experience for them. Ask guests to give your dog space and the choice to approach or not. Have a pot of treats ready by your back gate or front door and ask your visitors to throw some of these towards your dog as they enter your garden or house. Make sure your dog has a safe space to retreat to if they’re feeling overwhelmed.

Exploring New Walks
Certain walks can be incredibly busy and if your dog is less comfortable with large numbers of people or dogs, it’s best to avoid these places initially. Try to keep some of your routine walks in place, to help your dog have a sense of familiarity for at least some parts of their week.

Car Travel
If your dog hasn’t been in the car or it’s a pretty new experience for your puppy, then build up the length of journeys slowly. Between the times when you need to use your car, pop your dog in there just to have a treat or enjoy a chew. Try to avoid using the car every day to transport your dog if they’re not used to it.

Pubs and Cafes
Combining our new walking adventures with a drink or meal at a dog-friendly pub or café sounds wonderful. However, be mindful of how much stimulus a pub or café might provide your dog with – lots of people and noise, perhaps other dogs, and the temptation of food! If you have a young puppy, teaching them to settle on a mat that you can transport with you to the venue is a great way to build up a relaxed response to hanging out in a pub garden.

Don't just take our word for it!

“Dorwest Scullcap & Valerian Tablets have proven to be invaluable aids in supporting Loki’s reactivity and general anxiety. Developed by the renowned herbal experts at Dorwest, these tablets have provided significant support for Loki’s emotional well-being and provided a true ‘foot in the door’ for his behaviour work. Soon after starting him on Scullcap & Valerian Tablets, we noticed gradual but a remarkable change in Loki’s behaviour. We’ve found these have played a pivotal role in reducing his reactivity and helped us with his behaviour training, allowing him to navigate his world easier. During car journeys, we now add Valerian Compound into his bedding to create a serene and calming environment for him whist travelling. We would recommend Scullcap & Valerian Tablets to support behavioural and emotional challenges in dogs like Loki!” Lorren & Loki @Polka_Dot_Loki

"We have been using Scullcap & Valerian Tablets since May for Glen. He is a very hyperactive dog and recently had surgery on his tail. We were struggling to get the tail to heal well after surgery due to him not being able to settle and banging his tail while zooming around. We have seen great progress using them already! He is still our funny silly dog, but he can now be calm and settle and with that, we now have a tail that is finally healing. It’s also really helped him with our weekly vet visits as this is something he would get worked up over. Instead of hiding behind me he is now kissing the vets!" Sarah & Glen @Harrisandglen
