Questions

1 - 2 of 2 Questions

can i use this for my 3lb yorkie and my 8 lb Morkie?

  1. My dog was having severe anxiety and panic attacks. This medication has worked very well for her.  The results have been amazing. She is back to normal since she has been taking it.   I think that the dosage is based on the weight of the dog, so you would need to contact your veterinarian to request a prescription for the appropriate dosage. 



Is this suitable for cats? 

  1. My vet prescribed it for my elderly cat.
