Dorwest Valerian Compound for Dogs and Cats, 30ml, Quick Acting Dog Calming Liquid Drops - Valerian for Dogs, Non-Drowsy

I bought this for my 11 year old lab, who is terrified of fireworks. I’ve literally tried everything over the years and nothing really helped except having her sedated by the vet and I hated that but also fireworks go off for weeks so the dogs torture feels like it lasts forever. This year someone asked me if I had tried this one, which I hadn’t, she runs a rescue shelter and swears by this stuff for all of her animals. I must confess I was skeptical but I was also desperate, but desperate for a more natural solution, so I checked it out and worked how much I would need for my dog size so I opted for the larger bottle. The first thing I noticed was the smell, it smelled so bad but I measured out what I needed and I gave to my dog. It claimed to take around 30 minutes to get into her system and start working 🤞🏻 About an hour later the fireworks started and so did my anxiety as i waited on my terrified dog rampaging out of control around the house, terrified out of her mind but that didn’t happen, she jumped a couple of times and her ears shot up waiting for the next bang but that was it, she lay on the chair all night, she wasn’t anxious or distressed, she was quite calm and quiet. That was the first night but the rest of the nights were pretty much the same. I didn’t take her out during the times they were going off (she went out before and then again afterwards), I never left her at home alone and I made sure she got it an hour before I thought that they would start going off (so about 4pm) I used it every day for around 3 weeks and really did work for her. It only lasts for a few hours once it been in her system for about an hour but it definitely worked long enough to get her through the night. If your dog or any pet to be fair struggles with fireworks or loud noises then I would recommend giving this a try. Nobody was more sceptical than I was and I still can’t believe the results. I was delighted that she wasn’t terrified and that she didn’t have to be sedated, it’s entirely natural ingredients so no fear of nasty side effects. This product was so good that I bought another bottle, i want to make sure that I always have some in the house.

Holy moly - I was getting desperate to find something to help Buddy’s anxiety as he has isolation/separation anxiety and a serious fear of travel. I’ve been going mad as the combination of his issues means I’ve been housebound a lot. As I was waiting for my behaviorist appointment, I figured I should try as many things as possible to try help my poor little guy. Started him on this first and I didn’t see much change. Then I plugged in a Pheromone diffuser - it seems like the combo works! He had a dodgy belly so I took him off the drops for a week to see if it was this causing it (it wasn’t - dodgy belly cleared up after going on prescription dog food). I would say on day 5-7 of no drops, it must have been fully out of his system as he regressed in his training and wouldn’t settle like usual when left alone. After two days of this, I put him back on the drops and BOOM - he stayed chilled when I had to pop out the house for 40 mins in the afternoon (slightly out of his schedule for his training). It seems the combo of the diffuser and the drops is working, and I feel that it has seriously helped in the training I’ve been doing with him! I give him the drops mixed in with his food (drops stink so he won’t tolerate it straight in his mouth - mix with wet food or add hot water to half kibble and mix it in then top up with the remaining dry kibble) for his morning feed. Might test out splitting the dose and give to him AM then PM to see if it affects his behaviour and ensure he’s chilled for car training. Might ask see if a pheromone collar can help him too! But a huge thanks for this product - I think I would’ve lost my mind by now if I hadn’t discovered it. I’m sure Buddy is happier having lowered stress levels and is definitely getting used to being alone!

Not a complete game changer but I was willing to try anything with my Beagle being absolutely petrified by the fireworks. He still pants, dribbles and is anxious but doesn’t seem as bad as last year. He settles quicker and seems to forget about them quicker whereas last year the stress would last literally all night even when the fireworks stopped. I will definitely keep using them and recommend you give them a try. I didn’t notice any bad scent or taste, neither did the dog!

Bought to use for my husky. I thought it would be good to use for him to calm him down for when he has to go on long trips in the car. The smell and the taste was not good dog didn’t like the taste of it and it smelt weird this however is a god mix of natural ingredient. The dropped provided is easy to use and can be squirted into my dog’s mouth. It helped a bit but was not something that was life changing. depends on the dog and how they react to it. It’s not worth the price imo if you have a large dog because the dose you need to give him will be quite a lot and it adds up Can Only get a few uses out of a bottle.

I have to say i was a bit scepical as ive tried several things to try and slow down my hyperactive jack russell,after 2 other jack russell our third Jack was even more "over the top" than either of the others and was in danger of hurting himself in the garden,he tried to climb a 6 ft fence after seeing a squirrel. From the first application in his food he was certainly less hyper and hasnt tried to repeat his fence climbing trick or race round and round in circles in the house,its now been 5 days and the change is amazing,hes still the active jack russell that owners will recognise he just doesnt act like his springs been overwound and about to break lol

This stuff is great at calming the dog during firework season. It’s a bit tricky getting him to take it. He is a fussy pup. I use a toddle medicine syringe and shoot it into his mouth quickly, he is a 55kg dog who is so fussy with taste. I find it takes longer to work than stated. It’s expensive but still much cheaper than calming meds from the vet.

Well that was an expensive waste of money. I wanted to try this as I was recommended it by someone at dog training class. My dog is a rescue and scared of everything , so becomes reactive, and doesn’t listen whenever he’s not in a home environment, making walks a trial for both of us. So I tried it in his first meal, smaller dosage, to get him used to it. Within an hour he was in the garden being sick, and the next day very lethargic, and didn’t eat at all. So thinking it must of been something else he ate, I waited a few days, then tried again, same lower dosage. Exactly the same reaction, was sick, same day & following day, wouldn’t eat his food and just kept looking for grass to make himself sick. I definitely do not recommend this. My dog can pretty much eat Anything, and still has good stools and doesn’t become ill, but this stuff, made him ‘Literally’ sick as a dog!

Have car hating dogs this helps with calming.

Used to calm my dogs down while we had a guest dog here for a visit and it worked wonders to calm them down. We added drops to their food and they never noticed it while they ate. You could see them “chilled” out but not knocked out like prescription meds for relaxing anxious dogs

My cat hates it.

Pour mon maine coon pour les longs voyages. Ça le calme et il dort

Too expensive for small bottle( shipping especially, ... but one should expected to pay a lot for shipping abroad), especially if you have a large dog . It works though. Make sure give this with food. It may irritated dog stomach if given without food. It will not work as tranquilizer but if your dog terrified storms - along with RX medicine it may be what you looking for. If you are willing to pay the price it will work for you.

excellent produit que j'ai commandé deux fois. Mon chat a adopté de suite ces gouttes. cela le calme au bout d'une demi heure à peu prés. Je recommande ce produit pour des chats stressés ou comme le mien qui ne soirtent pas.
