Nervousness

Many situations can make a dog or cat nervous - thunder, fireworks, strangers or simply a new experience are a few of the situations that can affect a nervous animal. Often the problem is not really nervousness but more the fear of exactly what is expected when a new situation or experience arises. This apprehensive behaviour is often noticeable in young dogs but with encouragement and appropriate treatment they will overcome this as they mature. Unfortunately this uncertainty can easily be transmitted from the owner, so behaving in a positive and encouraging manner is essential to instil confidence and security. Scullcap & Valerian tablets should be given to relax and calm the animal and so increase its confidence and concentration. The dosage of this tablet can be given at either the maintenance or treatment dose depending on the individual response. The length of time that they may need to be administered will also vary with each animal, but as there are no recorded adverse reactions or long time side effects associated with this herbal medicine, they can be given for as long as is necessary to overcome the problem and establish confidence.
