Can I give my dog Trazadone for his anxiety? He’s a 35# Bulldog Schnauzer.
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 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.

My 3 pound dog was prescribed 25 mg trazodone for anxiety yesterday. Vet is closed and I'm fearful the dose will be too high. What do you think?
It has a very high variable dose range and each pet responds differently to it. You can always give 1/2 if you are nervous for the first dose to see how Lilly responds. If you see no change then you know you have to give the entire dose.

It is possible Petey has built up a tolerance to Trazodone. This can happen if used long term. Discuss an increase with your veterinarian. Consider also desensitization therapy and a pheromone product, such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser, to further help decrease anxiety.

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.
