Verified Aug 29, 2026

Cat · Supplement All Breed Sizes

A herbal soft chew supplement for cats designed to support calm behavior in stressful situations. It uses a blend of valerian, chamomile, passionflower, skullcap, oats, and ginger along with thiamine, all in an easy-to-give soft chew format.

8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a calming supplement, not a complete food, so it should be given in addition to your cat’s regular diet. The formula relies on a mix of traditional calming herbs and thiamine in a soft chew that most cats will find easier to take than liquids or tablets. It can be considered for cats who tend to get stressed during travel, vet visits, or household changes.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses several well-known calming herbs like valerian, chamomile, passionflower, and skullcap in combination.
  • Soft chew format is usually easier to give to cats than pills or powders.
  • Contains thiamine, which is often included in calming products for additional nervous system support.
  • Free of artificial ingredients according to the description, which some owners may prefer for sensitive cats.

Considerations

  • This is a supplement only and does not provide complete and balanced nutrition for cats.
  • Herbal responses can vary a lot between individual cats, so effects may not be the same for every pet.
  • Cats with food sensitivities to poultry or yeast may not tolerate the natural poultry flavor or brewers yeast well.
  • If your cat is on other medications or has chronic health issues, you should talk with your vet before adding herbal supplements.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Valerian Root
Valerian root is an herbal calming ingredient typically used in treats and supplements (not as a nutritional protein, vitamin or fiber) to help promote relaxation and reduce anxiety in dogs and cats through mild sedative/anxiolytic effects. Some cats may show an initial excited response followed by calmness; potential side effects include drowsiness, gastrointestinal upset, and interactions with other sedatives or certain medical conditions, so use under veterinary guidance and avoid in pregnant animals or pets with liver disease.
02
Chamomile
Chamomile is an herbal botanical commonly used in pet supplements, treats and topical preparations as a mild calming, anti‑inflammatory and digestive aid rather than a primary nutrient source, with flavonoids and terpenoids that can help soothe gastrointestinal upset, skin irritation and mild anxiety in dogs and cats. It is generally safe in small, properly formulated amounts but can trigger allergic reactions in animals sensitive to the Asteraceae family, may interact with blood‑thinning medications, and concentrated essential oils or extracts should be avoided without veterinary guidance.

03
Passiflora Incarnata
Passiflora incarnata (passionflower) is a botanical ingredient used in pet supplements and calming treats for its mild sedative and anxiolytic properties rather than as a nutrient; it contains flavonoids and alkaloids that are thought to influence nervous system activity in dogs and cats. While it may help reduce mild anxiety or promote relaxation, evidence in pets is limited and it should be used cautiously—avoid combining with other central nervous system depressants, and consult your veterinarian before use in pregnant or nursing animals or pets on medications due to potential interactions and dosing concerns.
04
Oat
Oats are commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (beta‑glucans), plant protein, B vitamins and minerals, which can support healthy digestion and help moderate blood glucose and cholesterol. They are generally well tolerated by dogs and can be included sparingly for cats, but owners should avoid flavored or sweetened preparations (and ingredients like xylitol or raisins), be mindful of possible grain sensitivities or cross‑contamination with gluten, and prefer cooked oats for better digestibility and portion control due to caloric content.
View ingredient
05
Skullcap
Skullcap is an herbal botanical sometimes included in calming or joint‑support supplements for dogs and cats because its flavonoid compounds (e.g., baicalin) have antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory and mild anxiolytic effects. Evidence in pets is limited and products vary in potency, and skullcap can interact with sedatives or drugs metabolized by the liver and has been associated (rarely) with hepatotoxicity, so it should be used under veterinary guidance, especially in pregnant/nursing animals or those with liver disease.
