Trazodone is an antidepressant medication that is sometimes prescribed off-label for dogs to help with anxiety, fear, and behavioral issues. It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can have a calming effect.
Trazodone may be prescribed for dogs experiencing anxiety related to travel, veterinary visits, thunderstorms, fireworks, separation, or post-surgical recovery. It helps reduce anxiety without causing excessive sedation.
Trazodone should only be used under veterinary supervision. It may interact with other medications and is not suitable for all dogs, especially those with certain health conditions. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions precisely.
Common side effects may include sedation, lethargy, gastrointestinal upset, or agitation. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog experiences severe side effects or an allergic reaction.
