Fast-Acting Herbal Support for Stressful Moments
Dorwest Valerian Compound is a quick-acting liquid designed to help take the edge off anxiety when life throws something unexpected at your dog (or cat). It’s ideal for sudden stressful situations — fireworks, thunderstorms, travel, vet visits or settling into new surroundings — when you need support now, not in three weeks’ time.
It works gently with the nervous system to promote calm without sedation. Pets stay alert, coordinated and responsive — just noticeably more relaxed.
You’ll also find Valerian Compound included in our Calming Bundle, alongside daily calming tablets and functional calming treats. Buying the bundle gives you both short-term and long-term support, while saving money compared to purchasing each item separately.
How Valerian Compound Works
Valerian Compound supports the body’s natural calming pathways rather than overpowering them. It helps ease nervous tension without affecting muscle control or causing drowsiness — which is why it’s widely used for agility, working and show dogs who still need to stay focused.
Because the herbal extracts are highly concentrated, many owners notice a change in behaviour within 30 minutes. The effects are short-lived, making it perfect for situational stress.
For longer-lasting anxiety, Valerian Compound can be used alongside Scullcap & Valerian Tablets, which provide daily baseline support — both included in our Calming Bundle for a more rounded approach.
When Is Valerian Compound Useful?
Valerian Compound is especially helpful for:
- Fireworks and thunder
- Travel and car journeys
- Vet visits and grooming appointments
- Kennels or boarding
- Moving house or new environments
- General nervousness or excitability
- Hyperactive behaviour
- Territorial urine spraying in cats
It’s a go-to for unexpected events, and many owners keep it on hand “just in case”.
How to Use
Valerian Compound is easy to give and very flexible:
- Drop directly into the mouth
- Add to food
- Sprinkle a few drops onto bedding or a cloth
Top tip: many cats (and some dogs) love the smell — adding a few drops to bedding can be especially soothing.
Dosage (as required):
- Small dogs & cats: 1.25ml
- Medium dogs: 2.5ml
- Large dogs: 5ml
- Giant breeds: 7.5ml
Do not exceed two doses in 24 hours.
Using Liquid & Tablets Together
- Scullcap & Valerian Tablets work best when given daily to build steady calm over time
- Valerian Compound acts quickly and is ideal as a top-up during sudden or intense stress
