My dog won't sleep at night. What calming supplements can I give him?

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. I would recommend using a treat by NaturVet called Quiet Moments calming treats with Melatonin. You can find these online or at your local pet store. I have had great success with using this product in cases such as Charlie's. The Melatonin in the product helps calm dogs and can cause mild sedation in some cases. I would also recommend a white noise machine that plays rain or something so that he cannot hear the wind. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further.

With canine cognitive dysfunction (dimentia) night waking is really common. I have used an anti anxiety medication called alprazolam with varied success. Also melatonin can be helpful. It seems some patients respond nicely, while it doesn’t seem to affect others at all. However, it is worth a try. I would recommend calling your veterinarian and discussing if a prescription for these would be ok for Kimi. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Try Zesty Paws Calming Bites, Composure chews (VetriScience) or Zylkene (Vetoquinol). Be aware that not all products will work for all dogs. The trick is to find the one that works the best. If Maggy's anxiety is severe, she may need prescription medication. Discuss options with your veterinarian.

A pheromone collar, such as the Adaptil collar, may help decrease anxiety. Gradual desensitization is also strongly recommended. Calming chews, such as Composure chews (by VetriScience) may help but they are not "magic pills". You will need to modify her behavior. This may require the assistance of a certified trainer.

I would recommend trying NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin. I have had several clients use this product, which can be found online or at your local PetCo, and it has worked great for these dogs. I would also recommend using the Adaptil collar to see if this helps calm Dozer. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Poor Lucy! You could start with some calming chews like composure or the prescription form (stronger) composure pro to see if this helps. You can also put a calming collar like adaptil on her at the same time. If this doesn't help, I would talk to your vet about putting her on an anti-anxiety medicine like fluoxetine to see if this helps. I hope this helps!

Hi there. In terms of natural products, you could try an Adaptil pheromone diffuser or collar, along with a calming supplement like Zylkene or Anxitane - both of these work well for some dogs, in my experience. These can be purchased over the counter or ordered online without a prescription. If the anxiety does not improve, I would suggest getting in touch with a veterinary behaviorist in your area who can evaluate Charlie in person and help you put together a plan to work on his anxiety issues, which may include prescription medication if needed.
