Trazodone is a SARI, or serotonin antagonist/reuptake inhibitor. It appears to work by releasing serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates behavior, awareness of pain, appetite, body temperature, movement, and function of the lungs and heart. Dogs showing complusive behaviors, chronic pain, separation anxiety and situational fears like fireworks or thunderstorms are often prescribed Trazodone to keep them calm. Similarly, cats can experience generalized anxiety disorders and the same situational fears as dogs. Trazodone is prescribed, as a short-term anxiety medication, for anxiety and aggression during certain situations where the cat experiences increased levels of anxiety and stress, such as being transported in a pet carrier.
Benefits:
- Helps pets stay calm: Commonly prescribed to ease stress, anxiety related to vet visits, grooming, travel, changes in routine and as ajunctive treatment of behavior disorders.
- Supports relaxation during recovery: Often used to help dogs and cats rest comfortably after surgery or injury and to facilitate postoperative confinement.
- Can be used cautiously with other medications: Trazodone may cause additive CNS depressant effects or Serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition, when combined with certain drugs. Always let your veterinarian know what drugs your pet is being given.
- Used by Veterinarians: Recommended for treating anxiety-related conditions, cage rest after surgery, transportation stress and to improve overall comfort in pets.
- Easy-to-give tablet: Can be given with food, hidden in a treat, or on an empty stomach.
