Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, this medication works very well for anxiety. However, I do not recommend starting this unless it has been prescribed by your veterinarian to make sure that he is healthy enough to receive it. Have a great day!

My vet prescribed Trazodone for my reactive dog. The prescribed dosage is 2 150mg pills. He is approximately 65 lbs. Is this an appropriate dosage? Is there anything I should watch for to make sure he doesnt' have an adverse reaction prior to arriv
Yes, that dosage is appropriate; even a bit low in my opinion. This drug has a very wide dosing range and I have found that most dogs need a pretty high dose for it to be effective. Here is a link to an article about this drug, side effects, etc: ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/trazodone )

My 65 pound dog has been prescribed 400 mg of Trazadone daily. Doesn't that seem excessive?
Trazodone has a very wide dosage range due to the variation of an individual dog's response to this medication. While Alice's dose is near the upper dosage range at 13.5mg/kg, it is still within a normal dosage range. If you have concerns about the dose or any possible side effects, please contact the prescribing vet.

Is 100 mg of Trazodone too much for a 20 lb puppy?
Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach. The dose for a 20lb puppy would be approximately 25mg every 12 hours with a max dose of 50mg. 100mg would be too high of a dose but would likely not cause significant problems. A dog with too high of a dose of Trazodone may exhibit sedation, lethargy and incoordination when walking. I hope this helps answer your question. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

Is 20mg of flouxetine a safe dose for a 47 lb. American Foxhound given once s day? Also is trazadone 50mg once daily safe to use with flouxetine?
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question. Twenty mg of fluoxetine given once daily to a 47lb dog is within the recommended dose range, so yes it is safe. The trazadone dose is also within the recommended dose range when used in combination with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which is the classification of fluoxetine. There is n increased risk of developing a disorder called serotonin syndrome when these two drugs are used together, but the lower dose range of trazadone is used when they are given together to try to prevent that. The normal dose range of trazadone is higher than what Hank is currently being given. I hope this helps!
