My dog has noise anxiety. What medications or supplements help?
There are prescription medications that can help with noise anxiety in dogs, such as Sileo, alprazolam, or trazodone - but you will need to discuss this with your veterinarian, since he/she will have to be the one to prescribe the meds if they feel this would be a good option for Tiger. You could also try a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure, and/or a DAP pheromone collar to help relieve some of his anxiety. These can be ordered online without a prescription, and are generally quite safe to use in any dog.

Is Sileo, a dog sedative, safe for my cat's travel anxiety?
Hello. Yes, the medication in Sileo is used in cats all the time, but actually using this particular product in cats is considered extra-label & therefore you are using this at your own risk. Since the smallest amount that can be dispensed from the tube is one dot, I assume that is the maximum that anyone would want to use on a cat, but PLEASE contact your pharmacy or your veterinarian for the exact amount to be used. Otherwise, I can not recommend the use of Sileo in cats. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

My dog's Acepromazine isn't working for anxiety. Can I increase dose?
Unfortunately Acepromazine does not take away fear and anxiety. It just sedates the dog, he will appear quieter, but inside, she is just as anxious, just cannot express it. There is a much better medication for that and it is called Sileo. Your veterinarian can provide you with that and give you the proper dosage for Bella. We are not in a position legally to give out dosages. In order to do legally so we would have to have a patient-veterinarian-owner relationship with you. Your veterinarian also knows your dog and the potential risks for your dog receiving acepromazine.

My dog has anxiety. What are the best ways to help and treat it?
Hello. Much depends on what is the underlying cause of your pets anxiety. Noise phobias can sometimes respond to gradual conditioning to that noise. Training & training tools & toys can sometimes help with separation anxiety. Often, we turn to pharmaceuticals & supplements. I always recommend OTC products like Zylkene or Composure. These are natural supplements that contain ingredients that are not harsh or dangerous. CBD may help with anxiety, but you need to be sure the company you use has scientifically formulated their products to be sound. Canopy Growth seems to be one doing so for pets (https://canopy animal health.com ) & yes, this is the one associated with Martha Stewart. Prescription medications are often used, as needed or for help with behavior modification. Sileo, Trazodone, acepromazine & anti-anxiety medications like Prozac have all been utilized, but you will need to work with your veterinarian on these. Start with some of the supplements, like Zylkene & go from there until you find the right fit for your pet. Thanks for contacting PetCoach.
