Hey, so I was at the park with Luna and someone mentioned trazodone for their dog. Anyone know how much is okay to give? Just trying to keep things chill at our next BBQ without worrying. Not sure if this is a dumb question!

Hey there! No question is a dumb question when it comes to keeping Luna happy and safe. Trazodone is a medication some folks use for their dogs to help with anxiety, but it's important to use the right dosage specific for Luna's size and situation. Before giving any to Luna, it’s crucial to consult with your vet who can provide the right guidance based on her specific needs.

If Luna were to get into anything potentially toxic, here’s a quick guide for symptoms and actions:

• Watch for symptoms like: Restlessness, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or unsteady walking.
• Emergency: If Luna shows signs of severe symptoms, such as seizures, extreme lethargy, or a rapid heartbeat, contact your vet or an emergency animal hospital immediately.
• Non-emergency: Mild symptoms like slight restlessness could be monitored at home, but still let your vet know as soon as possible for advice.
• At home, ensure Luna has plenty of water available and a calm environment to chill out until you can speak to your vet.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
