Relaxing Valerian – Natural aromatic root for cats
Relaxing Valerian is a premium preparation made from specially selected valerian roots, processed using a specific cutting and drying method to preserve its potent, natural aroma. Often referred to as a “cat stimulator,” it effectively boosts a cat’s mood and encourages active play.
Valerian is safe, non-addictive, and can even help stimulate the appetite in some feline friends. It serves as an excellent alternative for cats that do not respond to catnip.
How Valerian Works
Upon smelling or consuming valerian, most cats enter a state of temporary excitement—playing, rolling, and exploring. This “happy” phase typically lasts 10–20 minutes, followed by a period of relaxation and drowsiness, which is a normal and healthy response.
- Stress Reduction: Use a pinch in carriers or cages to lower stress during travel or after veterinary visits.
- Play Enhancement: Sprinkle on scratchers or use it as a natural filler for cat toys.
- Age Factor: While adult cats usually adore it, kittens may not react to valerian until they are older.
