Gentle, Everyday Support for Calm & Focused Dogs
Dorwest Scullcap & Valerian Tablets are a natural way to help take the edge off anxiety without switching your dog off. They’re designed to support the nervous system gently — helping dogs feel calmer, more settled and able to cope, while staying alert and responsive.
These tablets don’t sedate, immobilise or make dogs drowsy. In fact, they’re often used for agility, working and show dogs who need to stay focused and sharp, just without the jittery nerves.
You’ll also find these tablets included in our Calming Bundle, where they’re paired with complementary calming treats and a fast-acting herbal tonic. Buying the bundle not only gives you a more rounded calming approach, but also saves you money compared to purchasing each product individually.
How These Tablets Help
This carefully balanced herbal blend works with your dog’s natural calming pathways rather than overriding them:
- Valerian – Supports relaxation within the nervous system without affecting muscle control.
- Scullcap – Helps reduce anxiety by supporting GABA receptors associated with calm behaviour.
- Mistletoe – Supports natural calming responses and healthy circulation.
- Gentian – Helps support liver function and enhances the action of the other herbs.
Together, these herbs help lower anxiety levels in a steady, manageable way.
When Are Scullcap & Valerian Tablets Useful?
These tablets are ideal for dogs that struggle with ongoing or situational anxiety, including:
- Fireworks, thunder and other noise sensitivities
- Separation anxiety or being left alone
- Settling into a new home or rescue environment
- Travel and car journeys
- General nervousness or habitual anxiety
- Confusion or disorientation in older dogs
- Support during training, performance or competition
- Hormonal anxiety (such as false pregnancy)
- Over-excitable or hyperactive behaviour
- Anxiety-related skin sensitivity
They’re especially helpful where anxiety makes everyday life harder — both for dogs and their humans.
Long-Term Calm, Not a Quick Fix
There’s no instant solution when it comes to anxiety. Dogs often need time, consistency and gentle behavioural support to learn new coping strategies. These tablets help by lowering stress levels enough for that training and reassurance to actually stick.
Used consistently, they can make your dog more receptive to calm handling, training and routine — which is where real progress happens.
How to Use
- Give daily, ideally split into two doses (morning and evening)
- Use for at least 3 weeks for best results
- Dose: 1 tablet per 5kg of body weight per day
For one-off stressful events (like fireworks or travel), Valerian Compound is a quicker-acting option and can also be used alongside these tablets if needed.
