Tips for using Sileo Gel for Dogs (Dexmedetomidine Oromucosal) 0.09 mg/ml, 3 ml syringe
In conjunction with Sileo, there are several easy steps you can take to modify your dog's home environment and help ease stress. These include:
- Act normally through noise - for example, watch TV, read a book, or play with your dog.
- Be present. Your present comforts your dog.
- Encourage your dog to have a safe haven, such as a soundproof bathroom, closet, or basement.
- Limit visual stimulation during fireworks by keeping the room brightly lit and closing the curtains.
- Play music to mask scary noises. Classical music has been proven to have a calming effect in some dogs.
- Minimize or restrict exposure to noises that scare your dog.
- Do not pet your dog or say "It's okay." This sends a message that it is okay to bark, pant, or pace during the noise event.
- Do not punish your dog for damaging property or having accidents during a noise event. This makes them even more afraid of the noise. Keep in mind that they are not misbehaving. They are acting out of fear.
Overview
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
SILEO is administered onto the oral mucosa between the dog’s cheek and gum at the dose of 125 mcg/m2. The gel is absorbed through the oral mucosa and therefore it
should NOT be swallowed. If the gel is swallowed, the product may not be effective. If the gel is swallowed, do not repeat the dose for at least two hours.
The following table provides the acceptable dosage for each weight range. Each dot (●) represents 0.25 mL of SILEO.
Each ml contains the equivalent to 0.1mg dexmedetomidine hydrochloride.
Dosage by body weight :
Bodyweight (lb) / Number of dots

* If the dose is more than 6 dots, divide the dose between both sides of the mouth
The first dose can be administered:
Approximately 30 to 60 minutes before the fear and/or anxiety eliciting noise stimulus
Or immediately after the dog shows first signs of anxiety or fear related to noise
Or when the owner detects a typical noise stimulus (e.g., fireworks) eliciting anxiety or fear in the dog
If noise lasts greater than 2–3 hours and the dog’s signs of fear and/or anxiety reappear, another dose may be given:
At minimum intervals of 2 hours between doses
