Who has put their pets on medication for anxiety disorders?

This is an add on question to a previous one. I thought Oliver was getting better and more calm but the other night we left for 2 hours and he dug the carpet up from underneath the door, Im afraid he’ll get worse and seriously hurt himself. Have you medicated your dog for this problem and did it help?
Well we have crate trained him and he has tottally distroyed it. I cant leave him outside (ive tried) he just comes to the door and cries. He’s very attached to us and follows us everywhere. he’s been diagnosed with separation anxiety but i have avoided medication, to seek other alternatives, now it’s the only option left.

Hi, and yes. I know how you feel. I don’t really like my dog being on it but it has helped. I have a 2 yr old rat terrier and I adopted him from the pound. I am gone all day and live in an apartment so I tried to cage him and he broke out every time even if it meant he had to hurt himself. My vet recommended a separation anxiety pill for dogs like mine called CLOMICALM. It’s worked really well. My dog stays in my apartment all day through the week and I’ve had no problems. He is happy and doesn’t tear anything up. So I like it. I would like to wean him off sooner or later but my doc thinks he should stay on it. So I am not sure what will happen. My friend says that after about a month he stopped giving it to his dog and all was fine. Good luck and feel free to email me if you have questions.
