www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-12-30-natural-calming-herbs-for-catsStory at-a-glance Managing stress in cats requires a comprehensive approach, but a variety of calming herbs and supplements are available for support When synthetic feline facial pheromone spray was used in a veterinary clinic, cats had significantly fewer vocalizations, suggesting stress reduction Cat-specific flower essences can support your cat’s emotional health L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, may help to relieve stress and anxiety by increasing brain levels of serotonin, dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) Ashwagandha, hops, valerian, rhodiola, chamomile, tulsi and skullcap are additional calming herbs that may benefit cats; always consult an integrative veterinarian for proper dosage My notes: What helps is to have a vet who is holistic or at least willing to gain some knowledge into herbs. We have a holistic vet, although she is pricier so we don't see her for general checkups.

We've only given catnip. Never tried any other herbs.

We've only given catnip. Never tried any other herbs. Plus you want to be sure it's safe for your pet too!
