Dog Anxiety

Dogs can grow to be much attached to their owners and unfortunately there comes a time during the day where you’ll have to leave them home alone. This can lead to separation anxiety and stress related disorders or your dog may be fearful of new things in their environment or they don’t travel well. These conditions can cause havoc in your household from continuous barking to destruction of furniture. Many of these problems can be fixed with calming supplements that are sold specifically to help calm your pet down for whatever the situation may be, they of course should be used in combination with training. Allivet offers many of these supplements from travel anxiety relief drops to a pheromone diffuser all to help relieve stress.

Anxiety in dogs can be easily confused for bad behavior such as excessive barking, howling, whining, yelping or crying. Though you may feel the need to reprimand or correct your dog’s behavioral problems with training you should know that your dog may be suffering from anxiety or dog separation anxiety.

Medications such as Fluoxetine are used in the treatment of separation anxiety. This medication affects the chemicals in the brain that cause depression, panic and anxiety helping aid the problem.Other non-sedating medication effective in treating anxiety is Clomicalm a medication that helps reduce symptoms associated with separation anxiety, excessive barking and destructive behavior.

Reconcile is another highly recommended flavored chewable medication that can be given to dogs and puppies 8 weeks or older. This is a highly effective medication that helps reduce the frequency and severity of anxiety symptoms.

Dog anxiety is unlikely to go away if untreated and may in fact intensify but by investing some time and patience and applying the appropriate medication treatment as directed by your veterinarian you may very well be on your way to curing your dog’s separation anxiety.
