Hi, i was just wondering if anyone has used valerian for their dog?? My dog Harry is quite nervous and i want to see if there is somthing i can give hime to "chill him out".

Can it be given long term? Are there any side effects? How much would i give a 20kg dog?

Any advice would be appreciated as im not having much luck finding anything on line about the effects and dangers.

Thanks Peta

There's a product I recommend called "Sleepytime Tonic" that has valerian in it. Seems to work pretty well.

As far as straight valerian? I couldn't tell you...perhaps look up a holistic vet and give them a call?

I used valerian root on one of my gsd's many years ago for TStorm phobia,,didn't do much for him, I do give them melatonin which seems to kick in faster and chills my now, aussie right out. No she's not perfectly konked out, but she definately isn't as "freaked" out by Tstorms with the melatonin.

She weighs 45# and I give her 10mgs.
