First, have Archie examined by your veterinarian to diagnose any medical causes. Next, increase exercise and activity during the day to tire him out. Discuss melatonin use with your veterinarian. A pheromone product, such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser, may decrease any nighttime anxiety.
