My dog won't eat/drink after moving to apartment. How long to adjust?

Question

We just moved from a house with a yard to an apt and no yard. It was a two day drive and we had to give my dog trazadone for the trip. Since we got to the apt. , she has barely drank or eaten and follows us around continuously. How long will it take her to adjust? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 56 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In my experience, this process can take up to 1 week. However, while decreased appetite is common, it usually does not last that long. If this appears to last longer than 3 days, I would recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Make sure that she is drinking water at least as if not, she could become dehydrated. If not drinking water, have her evaluated sooner. Good luck and have a great day!
