Valarian root is an herb that can be safely used with dogs and cats. It has similar effects on dogs as with humans, namely the sedative properties, seemingly calming the nervous system, aiding the digestive system and helping with restful sleep. When combining valarian root and dogs, consult with your veternarian on the dosages according to the size of the dog. When considering valarian root and cats, I can offer some suggestions as I have experience using this herb with many cats who need to be redirected from negative behavior. Valarian root has a similar initial effect on cats much like catnip. It is an immediate stimulant, in fact much more potent from my experience. The cats love it. Then, as with catnip, the valarian root calms them and basically puts them right into a nice lull or even full blown nap. I will sprinkle 5 or six 1/2 centimeter root bits on the floor for them to roll around or eat. Or, if I am trying to help a cat who is having to deal with a stressful social situation, for example, I sill sprinkle a pinch of valarian root powder from a capsule into each of the morning and evening meal.
