Animal Essentials’ Valerian Herbal Tonic is a single-herb liquid supplement that delivers powerful, plant-based calming support to your pet’s nervous system. Known as one of the most trusted nervine herbs in traditional herbalism, valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) has a long history of use to help the body manage stress, regulate excitability, and promote restful states—naturally and without sedation.

Valerian works by helping modulate nerve sensitivity and reactivity, allowing the body to relax from a state of tension or hyperarousal. It's ideal for pets who experience intense reactions to triggers such as loud noises, car rides, vet visits, or separation. It also support restfulness during high-stress periods like travel, holidays, or boarding.

Unlike synthetic sedatives, valerian does not dull the senses or force sleep. Instead, it gently supports the body’s ability to unwind and self-regulate. With its alcohol-free, glycerin-based formula, this product is suitable for use in both dogs and cats and can be given daily or as-needed to help your pet feel calmer and more at ease.

Animal Essentials’ Valerian Herbal Tonic is crafted from certified organic valerian root—never extracts or powders—ensuring that your pet receives the full range of active constituents found in the whole plant. We produce this formula in small batches in the USA using a glycerin-based extraction process that preserves the herb’s potency without the use of alcohol or synthetic preservatives. Like all our products, it’s free of fillers, dyes, and artificial ingredients—just clean, honest herbal care made with your pet’s well-being in mind.
