Product Details
Naturally Calm Your Pet Quickly — Without Drowsiness
Dorwest Valerian Compound Liquid Drops are a fast-acting, natural calming solution for dogs and cats, trusted by pet owners and vets for decades. Containing pure extracts of three herbs in concentrated liquid form, it acts within just 30 minutes, with effects lasting up to two hours — without sedation or drowsiness.
It can be dropped straight into the mouth, given on food, or sprinkled onto your pet's bedding. Cats particularly love the smell of Valerian, making it one of the easiest calming products to administer. And unlike daily supplements, Valerian Compound is designed for on-demand use — perfect for one-off stressful events like fireworks, thunderstorms, vet visits or travel.

What Can Valerian Compound Be Used For?
Valerian Compound is ideal across a wide range of stressful situations including fireworks, thunderstorms, travelling, showing, going into kennels, visiting the vet, territorial urine spraying in cats, and general excitability or hyperactivity.
Top Tip: Put a few drops on a cloth on your pet's bed to help them relax — cats especially love this.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Valerian Compound work? Valerian supports the natural relaxant pathways within the nervous system without affecting muscles. The concentrated herbal extracts act within 30 minutes, with short-lived effects of up to two hours. It doesn't make pets dopey or sleepy — it's widely used for agility and show dogs that need to be calm but fully alert.
Will it sedate my pet? No. These are nervines, not sedatives — they naturally relax the nervous system and reduce anxiety without sedating muscles. Performance dogs including agility and show dogs use this product regularly.
Can I use the liquid and tablets together? Yes — and it's a great combination. Dorwest Scullcap & Valerian Tablets used daily provide sustained background calm and are ideal to start in the lead-up to fireworks night. Valerian Compound is the perfect quicker-acting top-up for unpredicted events like a neighbour's fireworks display or a sudden thunderstorm.
When should I start? The more severe the phobia, the earlier you should start — up to a month in advance for severe cases. For moderate phobias, start around 10 days before the predicted worst night. Even starting the day before will still provide benefit.
What is the dosage? Small dogs & cats: ¼ tsp (1.25ml) | Medium dogs: ½ tsp (2.5ml) | Large dogs: 1 tsp (5ml) | Giant breeds: 1½ tsp (7.5ml). Give as required — no more than two administrations of the stated amount in any 24-hour period.
Is it safe during pregnancy or lactation? Not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. If unsure, contact the Dorwest advice line.
Are there any interactions? Valerian Compound may be given alongside other medicines. If unsure, contact the Dorwest advice line.
For longer-duration situations, use alongside Dorwest Scullcap & Valerian Tablets. Browse all Dog Calmers & Homeopathic Remedies at Feedem.
