Scullcap & valerian tablets for cats and dogs
Naturally relaxes your pet to help reduce their stress and anxiety with no drowsiness. Useful in a variety of situations, including the long term management of specific fears, and to help maintain a calm state in excitable pets.
What situations are Scullcap & Valerian Tablets good for?
Our Scullcap & Valerian Tablets help to support the natural calming pathways within the nervous system, making them useful in a variety of challenging situations:
- Noise phobias (fireworks/thunderstorms)
- New home/rescue
- Separation anxiety
- Travelling
- Habitual anxiety
- Canine cognitive dysfunction and associated confusion/disorientation
- Training/performance support
- False pregnancy – dog can become anxious and unsettled
- Hyperactive dogs
- Territorial urine spraying in cats
- Skin sensitivity in nervous dogs
- Conditions that are exacerbated by a heightened state of anxiety or nervous excitability
There are no quick fixes when it comes to successfully helping your dog to manage their anxiety or fears for the long-term. Often, gentle and consistent behavioural work and training are required to help them to respond more positively to stressful situations, which takes time. This process is likely to be more effective when your dog is more relaxed, and this is where Scullcap & Valerian Tablets can help.

Tablets Garlic & Fenugreek For Dogs
A herbal medicine for the symptomatic relief for minor infections, skin conditions, arthritis and coughs.
How do Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets help my pet’s skin?
Healthy skin is a vital first line of defence against disease and an essential part of a happy pet, so skin problems can be a real source of misery! Unfortunately, they are common, with a wide range of potential causes – but our Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets can help!
Garlic and fenugreek contain active compounds which promote healthy skin, making our tablets ideal for supporting dogs with sensitive or compromised skin. They help the body remain strong against disease, parasites and infectious agents such as bacteria, and contain amino acids that are essential for skin turnover and repair. Both black aged garlic and fenugreek have high levels of antioxidants, which neutralise free radicals, to have a calming and soothing effect on the skin.
Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets are particularly effective when used in combination with our Green Releaf Tablets.
Valerian Compound For Dogs And Cats
What can Valerian Compound be used for?
Phobias and nervous disorders can be really hard to deal with – both for pets and from their owners’ perspectives. Widely used as a treatment for noise phobias and fears associated with fireworks, thunder and gunfire, as well as for general excitability and hyperactivity, this herbal medicine is one of our best sellers. Popular for use in travel-related anxiety and also for territorial urine spraying in cats. Buy your supply of Scullcap and Valerian Tablets well in advance of fireworks night (there’s often huge demand around this time.)
Many situations can be worrying for our pets causing fear and anxiety. Valerian Compound can be used for:
- fireworks
- thunderstorms
- travelling
- showing
- going into kennels
- visiting the vets.
Valerian Compound acts quickly, helping you and your pet get through these events stress-free. It can also be used to restore calm in hyperactive pets.
Top-Tip: Try putting a few drops on a cloth on your pet’s bed to help them relax, cats especially love this.
Will it sedate my dog?
They are not sedatives, in fact these are widely used for performance dogs such as agility and show dogs when they need to be alert and focussed. The herbs are nervines, that means they help to naturally relax the nervous system which reduces anxiety yet does not sedate muscles.
Can I use the tablets and liquid together?
Scullcap & Valerian Tablets used daily provide better coverage and are ideal to start using in the lead up to Fireworks Night so they are already nice and relaxed before the scary noises start. Valerian Compound is quicker-acting and is perfect to use orally as a “top-up” and for unpredicted events such as a neighbours having a fireworks display or a thunder storm. It is ideal to put a few drops on a cloth on their bed to help them relax, cats love this especially.
Tree Barks Powder
Help keep your pet’s tummy naturally comfortable and stools normal with this blend of complementary digestive herbs
Three herbs renowned for their digestive health properties work together to provide effective digestive support, for comfortable tummies and normal stools.
Slippery elm bark – contains mucilage, a sticky substance that helps maintain good bowel regularity and stool consistency
Marshmallow root – another powerful mucilaginous herb that coats the gut, soothing and assisting gut transit
White poplar bark – helps to keep tummies comfortable, thanks to its soothing properties
How does Tree Barks Powder work?
Tree Barks Powder is a fine fluffy powder that does something magic when it gets wet! It becomes almost blancmange-like, hence the name ‘slippery’ elm, and we all know how gooey marshmallows are… The moisture in the digestive tract is enough to cause this Tree Barks Powder transformation, allowing it to coat and soothe the stomach and digestive tract (emollient action), and slow down the passage of food. All this helps maintain normal absorption of nutrients and stools with normal consistency.
Easy green
All the power of ‘super-greens’ in an easy-to-give powder for an all-round health boost
Our Easy Green Powder supplement has all the power of `super-greens` in an easy-to-give powder. Just add to your pet`s normal food for them to get all the benefits of eating a bowl of greens, without a spinach leaf in sight! The quick air-drying process retains maximum nutrients in a digestible form to naturally boost levels of iron, vitamin C, chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants (to neutralise free radicals) for all-round health. For pets with hot, itchy skin, our Easy Green Powder also has cooling properties.
Why might my dog need Easy Green Powder?
Did you know that dogs find it hard to digest vegetables? Even a super green dinner packed full of vegetables might not give your dog much veggie goodness! This is because dogs find it hard to break down the cellulose in vegetables, so these nutritious plants need to be given pulsed, or more easily, in an appropriate supplement for better absorption. Dogs also have a much shorter digestive tract than humans, so have a smaller time period in which to absorb the nutrients from food. Our Easy Green Powder is specially made for dogs to maximise absorption, providing a diet super-boost.
Milk Thistle
Natural support for the liver using whole fruit extract. High in silymarin and other active compounds
Help maintain good liver function in your pet with our high-grade Milk Thistle Tablets for dogs and cats. The liver is the ultimate multi-tasker, involved in almost all body processes, including the production of essential proteins, immunity and nutrient storage. It is also a powerhouse when it comes to toxins, removing and neutralising harmful substances from the circulation. Our supplement naturally supports the liver, using pure milk thistle from whole fruit extract. It is high in silymarin, but also benefits from the other active compounds found in milk thistle fruits.
How does Milk Thistle work?
One of Milk Thistle’s major actions is as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are required to neutralise unstable molecules called ‘free radicals’ which are produced during metabolic activity – something the liver does a lot of. A liver under pressure is more vulnerable to the effects of free radicals, at a time when it is likely producing more of them.
Milk Thistle also helps to maintain the stability of cell membranes of liver cells. This structure of the cell is essential to protect it against damage and prevent the infiltration of toxins and infectious agents.
The body’s soldiers – the immune cells – are vitally important in fighting infectious attacks. Milk Thistle has been shown to support specific immune cells called lymphocytes.
What makes Dorwest Milk Thistle Tablets different?
Milk Thistle’s beneficial effects are largely down to the active compound found in the seeds and fruit called silymarin. There are however other compounds present in the fruit that also have a potential role to play in supporting the liver, and wider body. Healthy oils such as linoleic acid, flavenoids, and vitamin E are all known for their antioxidant (to neutralise free radicals) and immune supportive action and all are present in the Milk Thistle fruit.
Dorwest Milk Thistle Tablets for dogs and cats contains whole fruit extract, to preserve the benefits of these other compounds, and provide consistently high levels of Silymarin, at 80%. Trusted by vets and with over 70 years of expertise behind them, Dorwest Milk Thistle Tablets for dogs and cats reliably help support pets with liver disease.
Digestive
Naturally support your dog’s upset stomach and digestive problems with our herbal tablets
Gurgling tums, wind and flatulence can affect our dogs and cats at various times. And unfortunately, some are especially prone to this type of discomfort. When these problems occur, it can be difficult knowing what to give a dog for an upset stomach. In particular, as you need a solution that is soothing. This is where our Digestive Tablets for dogs can be a great help! This natural supplement contains a variety of calming herbs:
Ginger and valerian root – eases digestion and increased bowel activity
Rhubarb and peppermint– aids the digestive tract
Slippery elm bark – soothes and comforts to help stool consistency
What are the benefits of Digestive Tablets For Dogs?
This digestive aid for dogs is suitable for short-term use or long-term support. It can help soothe your dog’s upset stomach when taken before a specific event or car journey. Natural and gentle, this product can be given alongside any medication and used during pregnancy and lactation.
Can the Digestive Tablets be used alongside Tree Barks Powder?
Yes. As both contain slippery elm bark and natural herbal ingredients, our Digestive Tablets for dogs can be used alongside Tree Barks Powder.
Can tablets be used to settle tummies ahead of car journeys?
All pets will experience a gurgling tum and excess wind at some point in their life – some get an upset stomach when travelling and others are just more prone to digestive complaints. Our Digestive Tablets help to naturally support digestion and settle tummies, using a unique blend of herbs. Ginger and valerian calms, while rhubarb and peppermint aids digestion and slippery elm helps to soothe and comfort.
What are the signs of motion sickness?
We all love to get out exploring with our dog but some may struggle with the car journey, suffering from motion sickness and an upset stomach, just like humans can. Although many young dogs will grow out of it, some dogs will suffer from true motion sickness and they obviously can’t tell you when they are starting to feel a little peaky. There are some signs you can look out for though:
- a fear to get in the vehicle
- shaking, uneasiness and anxiety
- inactivity or listlessness
- excessive drooling
- yawning or panting
- whining
- vomiting
How can I help my dog with motion sickness?
There are a few steps you can take to help prevent motion sickness by making your car as comfortable as possible. Try simple steps such as opening your car windows a couple of inches, which helps to keep the car cool and well ventilated, and limit meals before travel. Our Digestive Tablets can also help, containing ginger and peppermint oil to help naturally settle the stomach. Give them an hour before you set off for the best results.
Some dogs also get stressed when travelling, especially if they’ve had a negative experience, if this is the case you may need to build your dog’s confidence in the car again.
My pet suffers with wind, will Digestive Tablets help?
Most of you will have held your nose, wafted frantically or apologised to guests when your pet has excessive wind! Diet is often a contributory factor, so this should be addressed but your pet may also need a little help to relieve this problem. Our Digestive Tablets can help, providing natural support for the whole digestive system.
Can Digestive Tablets be used long-term?
Our Digestive Tablets are perfect for long-term support for susceptible pets, with a range of natural ingredients to calm and settle the whole digestive system.
