Health & WellnessWhat can I give my dog for loud noise anxiety on Fourth of July?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Lilly!
Neither are used or labeled for noise phobia. Melatonin is more to help with sleep and benadryl is an antihistamine that potentially makes the pet drowsy. Of the 2 I would chose benadryl but I personally recommend discussing Lilly's issues with your Vet. They can prescribe drugs that will actually work to sedate Lilly. Drugs like Trazadone, Xanax, and Sileo can work very well.
I wish Lilly the best!
