This week, Jess and Scott discuss questioning your veterinarian or behaviorist before you begin administering a prescribed drug to your dog, especially as it relates to behavior. Big Pharma has a clear agenda that has recently been spilling over from the human world into the dog world. Of course while many drugs can be lifesavers and greatly enhance one’s quality of life, maybe we shouldn’t we be so quick to give our dogs psychotropic medications.
Topics Discussed:
Who should you consult when considering medicating your dog for behavior issues?
How do you determine if your dog is a good candidate for psychiatric medication?
What are some possible side effects of these common psychiatric medications for dogs?
