Sleeping pills

When dogs are referred to as "sleep aids", this means drugs or substances that are used to help a dog sleep or relax. These drugs are usually used to help dogs with anxiety, hyperactivity, stress or sleep problems.

It is very important that you do not use sleep aids without the direction and supervision of a veterinarian. Different dogs react differently to medication, and what is safe for one dog may be dangerous for another. The vet can determine the right sleep medication and dosage for your dog based on factors such as age, weight, health status and the specific problem to be treated.

There are also natural alternatives or calming methods that can help relax a dog, such as special diets, calming music, pheromone therapy or training. These methods can be a gentler alternative or a complement to medication. Talk to a veterinarian or dog trainer to find the best options for your dog.
