It promotes relaxation and a sense of tranquility during occasional stress, making it one of the most recognized herbs for supporting normal stress responses in cats.

Ans: Yes. The manufacturer lists several situations requiring caution: do not give before anesthesia; avoid with CNS depressant medications; use with caution in cats with cardiac or kidney conditions or those taking steroids; and do not use excessively or long-term due to potential Licorice root effects.
