Dr Monkey Dispenses Advice About Firework Phobia

Rockets and Catherine wheels may not be the only things creating a big noise this fireworks season. More cats and dogs need help to treat their phobias says the outspoken Dr Monkey, who believes that the lead up to the 5th November is a big deal for those pets that suffer firework phobia. Dr Monkey will be voicing his opinions on the blogosphere in the lead up the event to help make pet owners more aware of the issues. But Dr Monkey is far from being a crackpot or a firebrand. He is in fact a nine year old Border Terrier from Dorset who will be bringing his own real-life experiences to the attention of millions of pet owners on Facebook, Twitter and at http://dorwestdrmonkey.blogspot.com from 27th September. Dr Monkey’s activities will be part of Dorwest Herb’s Firework Phobia No Fear campaign now in its fourth year. Several years ago, Dr Monkey joined thousands of other cats and dogs and conquered his fears by taking Dorwest Herb’s Scullcap & Valerian Tablets – the company’s number one best seller in veterinary practices. The company sells over a million doses of their licensed Scullcap & Valerian Tablets and the supplement Valerian Compound in and around the fireworks season. Both can be used alongside other treatments or alone and they produce relaxation without causing drowsiness or disorientation. Roly Boughton, Marketing Director at Dorwest Herbs explains, “Dr Monkey will be helping us empathise with the millions of pet owners who have watched their pets suffer because of noise and firework phobia. As well as giving practical tips and information in the 6-week lead up to the big day, Dr Monkey will also be explaining to pet owners that their vets can help and will encourage them to visit their local practice.” Dorwest Herbs has experienced fantastic growth in the number of veterinary practices stocking their products over the last few years in particular. The demand for safe, natural treatments and quality preparations that can be trusted has driven this growth. The company will be supporting the profession by offering a 40% discount on all Scullcap & Valerian Tablets and Valerian Compound purchased between 1st September and 31st October 2010 to those practices who order direct. In addition, there will be a ‘Pick N Mix’ of promotional goodies available to best suit how practices want to communicate the issues to their clients. There is a choice of client leaflets, leaflet holders, posters, shelf wobblers, a counter top display unit, badges and postcards, all available direct from Dorwest. Dorwest has also been active in producing technical papers that gather the evidence for the mode of action of herbal treatments so that veterinary professionals can make objective decisions and their latest Technical Sheet on phobias is freely available on request.
