Herbal Medicines and Supplements

Many people use herbal remedies and they can be just as effective for our pets too. These herbal supplements and medicines tend to be most effective where there is chronic disease; conditions such as eczema, arthritis, urinary problems and constipation often respond very well. These products can be used together with conventional veterinary medicines with little likelihood of adverse reactions. Do consult your vet if your pet is unwell since these medicines should not be used as a substitute for veterinary care. We have sourced high quality herbal medicines and dietary supplements for your animals so take a look through this section to see if there is anything here for you.

Organic Valerian Compound

It is also useful for stressed and fearful animals, for example during thunderstorms or fireworks, and it also works well if given before a trip to the vet or the grooming parlour.

This a particularly easy way to make fractious cats much more manageable.
