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!

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.

Yes, Trazodone is an anti-anxiety medication used in dogs pretty regularly. There are also other anti-anxiety medications that can be used if Trazodone does not seem to help Precious's unique situation, so keep the lines of communication open. I hope that this works however. Best wishes and take care.

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!

If your dog has never had this drug before I recommend giving one and then gradually giving more until the desired effect is reached. For example if you give one and there is no effect after 30 to 45 minutes then give another pill. You can repeat this up to 400 mg. Is easier to get more if your dog does not get sedated versus if they get over sedated from a high dose. 400 mg is a safe dose but starting low with increasing is also an acceptable route.
