Gotta take my dog to the vet this morning for a checkup and toenail trimming. God, I hate doing this. Stresses us BOTH out.

Sending good vibes. It usually takes two people in this household to cope with that.

Thanks!! 💕 I know it's silly, but he's an old country dog and not a fan of being in a car or out in public.

Have the vet prescribe trazodone for the next visit. It will take care of his anxiety. It works wonders.

I asked for some yesterday! They gave me 20 100mg pills for Bear. Being gone so long for that concert and hearing that he was crying and looking for me settled it. It's impossible for me to go anywhere for very long. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good deal. How big is Bear? I have 50 mg for mine. I give them a half with a little peanut butter and that usually zones them. If it’s prolonged thunder I give them another half. I only have a prescription for 1 dog and stretch ‘em out. If all else fails, I take one and sleep 😉

😆 sure you do. He weighs 45 lbs. I'll only give him half and maybe another half later.

Yeah, I’ve never had one in my life. I have 2 I treat that weigh probably 30 lbs. the border collie weighs 60-70 and he responds well to a half and it knocks him for a loop. He doesn’t like peanut butter so I hide it in a small ball.

Luckily my black lab/huskie mix that weighs 110lbs doesn’t need them. It would take a whole bottle

We adopted a dog that’s scared of straight, big men. That’s not exactly something I can schedule for.
