Top Herbal Ingredients: California Poppy and Skullcap
The power of Comfort Plus lies in its two key botanicals, each with a respected history in herbal medicine.
California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)
California Poppy is a gentle herb traditionally used to promote relaxation and ease nervous tension. Herbalists often turn to it for its calming properties, which can help soothe occasional restlessness or discomfort. Unlike its relative, the opium poppy, California Poppy is non-narcotic and safe for animals when used appropriately.
Skullcap (Scutellaria laterifolia)
Skullcap has a long reputation as a nervine herb, meaning it supports the nervous system. It is commonly used to encourage a calm state and may help ease muscle tension associated with normal activity. Both herbs work synergistically to create a balanced formula that supports comfort and tranquillity.
These herbs are extracted using vegetable glycerine, which preserves their beneficial compounds without the need for alcohol. The result is a potent yet gentle liquid that can be easily absorbed by your pet.
Safety and Dosage Guidelines
Comfort Plus is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, because individual pet needs vary, please follow these guidelines:
-
Consult your veterinarian first: Especially for puppies, kittens, pregnant or nursing animals, or pets with known health issues.
-
Start with a low dose: Begin with the smallest recommended amount and observe your pet's response. Adjust gradually if needed.
-
Weight-based dosage: Typical dosage for liquids is based on body weight. For dogs and cats, 1 drop per 10 lb of body weight, 2–3 times daily, is a common starting point. Always follow the label instructions.
-
Monitor for reactions: While rare, some animals may be sensitive to herbs. Discontinue uses if you notice adverse effects like gastrointestinal upset or unusual behaviour.
-
Store properly: Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake before each uses.
-
Avoid toxic herbs: This product does not contain any known toxic ingredients for dogs or cats. However, never give your pet herbal supplements intended for humans without veterinary approval.
