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!

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Ellie. I'm sorry she's having trouble with anxiety! Yes medications can help with anxiety, but she would need to see a vet in person to get the medication. We cannot provide a prescription for it from the site without seeing her in person; it's illegal, and against the user terms of the site. I recommend contacting her vet to make her an appointment to discuss the use of medication. A thundershirt may also help in conjunction with medication. You can buy them online, I also recommend looking at one of those. A tip to keep in mind when she is afraid is not to console her. It's natural to want to do that, but it actually reinforces the behavior. By consoling her, you are telling her it's ok to act this way. I hope this helps!

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!

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

If Xanax was an effective medication for Ali's anxiety, I would definitely say that you should stick with regimen. If the current veterinarian is not willing to provide you with a prescription for this, I would find another vet who appreciates the situation a little bit better. In terms of Prozac vs Zoloft, Prozac has much fewer side effects in dogs than Zoloft, so sickness with one does not necessarily translate to sickness with another. Behavior issues including anxiety are often very difficult to resolve so if at all possible, find a way to keep Ali on the medication she currently is have success with.
