separation anxiety advise

Separation Related Behaviours and medication - Wolfgang's example

Each dog is different; some dogs don’t need the help of meds to learn to feel comfortable being home alone, and some dogs do. And for some of those dogs the anti-anxiety effects of a single medication may not be sufficient. 

Wolfgang has been on Clomicalm for a while, with great results. 

However, her brilliant vet and I have discussed trying Gabapentin additionally as she suspected potential neuropathic pain. And after consulting a vet behaviourist on the matter, we decided to give it a go.

And wow, Wolfgang, who is 11, has (almost) transformed into a puppy again. 

And she’s doing even better with her absence training!!!
