Calming Supplements
Does anyone have a preferred calming supplement for dogs? This is for my personal pet, but I haven't worked in GP in about 6 years, so I don't necessarily know the most up-to-date information regarding Adaptil/Solliquin/Composure/Calming Care vs. anything else.
Little history - I have a surrendered English Bulldog who has a very obsessive personality. It's very difficult to break his attention from something once he's fixated. He's been through over a year of training (and somehow graduated three Good Manners classes??), and we are working on breaking through to him, but I think a little supplement management would help. I'm hesitant to put him on fluoxetine in case it lowers his inhibitions (and we have a bite incident trying to remove an item he's fixated on), and pure sedatives do not seem to phase him even at the upper end of the dose limit. It doesn't help that he's a very active dog and I've haven't been able to take him for walks the past few weeks since it has been well over his temperature threshold here.
Any experience (personal and professional) is appreciated!
