hyperactivity and phobias, such as those from fireworks, thunderstorms or gunfire.

ideal for those needing to be settled for travelling, showing, training or obedience

work. Given prior to a journey will calm nervous travellers and is useful where new

surroundings or situations might cause apprehension or anxiety. In cats, this tablet

is also effective to control territorial spraying as the tranquilising effect reduces the

impulse to mark territory. Under veterinary supervision this tablet is used in the

control of epilepsy, often in conjunction with conventional anti-convulsant drugs.
