I have a 7 month Collie who echobits rxtreme anxiety when I want to take her on the car. She starts excessive drooling even before she gets into the car. I have tried leaving windows open but she drools on the car. The vet gave me Cetemia 164mg bu
Hi, I can understand why you are anxious for your road trip! It sounds like Ainsley has quite severe motion sickness. Cerenia is the best drug for this and has two dose ranges (one for general nausea, and another range which is higher for motion sickness ). Legally I am not allowed to give dosing information about medications without having performed a physical exam on her. I am certain that your vet would be able to tell you if she's at the maximum dose for her weight. Also they can advise on the safety of using other drugs alongside cerenia. You could also consider trying Adaptil which is a pheromone product which can help with anxiety, particularly for travel. It comes as a collar and a spray that would likely help her as well.

Chewy would need to be examined by a veterinarian in order to prescribe any medication. Set up an appointment for a general check up with a local veterinarian. During the apt, you can can discuss medications to relieve anxiety or stop vomiting/drooling if needed. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Cerenia is a drug called maropitant, it is very effective but unfortunately it is very stingy on injection. I imagine this has scared him a little, but if he seems out of sorts for an extended time I would consider going back.

Are there anti anxiety medications for dogs
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, they are all human medications used off label in animals. There are long acting drugs like prozac, zoloft, clomicalm, etc and then short acting medications like trazadone, acepromazine, xanax, etc. These drugs need to be prescribed by your Vet and work best with behavioral training. I hope this helps and I wish you and Buddy the best!
