Are there anti anxiety medications for dogs
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, they are all human medications used off label in animals. There are long acting drugs like prozac, zoloft, clomicalm, etc and then short acting medications like trazadone, acepromazine, xanax, etc. These drugs need to be prescribed by your Vet and work best with behavioral training. I hope this helps and I wish you and Buddy the best!

Can I give my dog Benadryl if he takes fluoxetine?
It is not recommended since the combination can increase side effects such as lethargy/drowsiness or confusion. In s senior pet, this could be risky. Contact your veterinarian in the morning to discuss your concern further as well as options. If Winston is having a severe allergic reaction, consider a visit to the nearest veterinary ER.

Hi! My dog had ACL surgery yesterday. She has been on 20mg of fluoxetine for months. She was super anxious after the surgery so my vet gave me Trazodone. She was acting really lethargic so I looked up drug interactions just to be careful and saw it i
Serotonin syndrome is certainly possible with fluoxetine and trazodone together, or even just fluoxetine by itself, but what you're seeing with Luna does not sound like serotonin syndrome. With serotonin syndrome there's just too much of everything, too much energy, too much vomiting, too much diarrhea, too much muscle movement (tremors and seizures), too much pupil size. Sedation is an expected and desirable side effect of Trazodone, so in this situation I wouldn't worry. I would recommend giving a slightly smaller dose of trazodone tomorrow to see if that is enough to keep Luna calm. And always, if you're worrying about it and not sure, take Luna to an emergency clinic for an quick check in. Also, these two drugs are used together VERY commonly in veterinary medicine, but I don't think human doctors use them together, so you'll see lots of precautions against it while reading online. I hope that helps you feel better! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My dog suffers from extreme anxiety. I hate the idea of putting him on an anti anxiety prescription. I have read about melatonin for anxiety in dogs. Is this safe to try first?
I am sorry that your dog is having anxiety issues. Melatonin is used by some to treat anxiety. I have had success with Adaptil collar/diffuser and Composure treats. You could try them and see if they help. If not, talk to your vet about Prozac or Trazodone. Some dogs really do need medication to help. http://www.adaptil.com/us/ http://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=900780060
