Valerian root contains a terpenoid chemical valerinone.  This chemical is very similar in nature and activity with cats as catnip's nepetalactone. 

Our certified organic valerian officinalis root grown in British Columbia, Canada and in Washington State, USA is used to produce our line of pure valerian root feline pleasure pals, and our ever so potent valerian root oil spray. 

Through the process of steam distillation followed by CO2 extraction and gravity settling, pure valeranic acid derivative oils are produced. The pure oil is diluted down using spring water to a specific and critical percentage that cats enjoy immensely. Pure valerian root oil is to potent for cats, but our tried, tested and true oil spray is just purrfect for kitty !
