Prepare for calm

Naturally de - fuse your pet’s firework fear with Dorwest Herbal Products

We know how stressful it can be if you have a pet with fireworks fear - for both you and them, but we’re here to help...

It can be so distressing for everyone when your dog is afraid, especially when their reaction is extreme. Worse still, with ‘fireworks season’ becoming longer and less predictable, managing your fearful pet is more challenging than ever. You’re not alone either, with noise phobias estimated to affect more than 1 in 5 dogs in the UK.

The good news is, there are steps you can take to help your pet and restore calm in your household during this time. Preparation is key though, so if you know your pet is afraid of fireworks, or suffers with another noise phobia, it’s a good idea to start planning ahead – ideally at least a month in advance of the expected event, especially for severe phobias. During this time, Scullcap &Valerian Tablets can help naturally relax your pet and give the best rults when used alongside gentle and consistent behavioural training, such as noise desensitisation programmes.

For situations where you are ‘caught out’, for example thunderstorms or an unexcepted fireworks display, the Valerian Compound is a great short - term and quicker - acting option. It can also be used alongside Scullcap & Valerian Tablets as a top - up, if needed.

The active herbs in these products help to naturally support the calming pathways within the nervous system, reducing anxiety without immobilising muscles or causing drowsiness. They don’t make pets dopey or wobbly – in fact they are widely used for agility and show dogs when they need to be alert and focused, but calm.
