Is it safe to give my high-energy dog gabapentin and trazodone?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I would love if a vet could check and verify that these two drugs are comparable. I’ve had a dog overdosed in the past by a vets prescription so I just want a second opinion. 42lb extremely high energy was given both gabapentin 300mg and trazodone 50mg to take concurrently. I see they can increase symptoms when given together in humans. Is this safe for a puppy?

I am a veterinarian, and yes it is safe to combine gabapentin and trazadone. Without seeing your puppy in person, I cannot say specifically it is safe for your dog, but it is a combination that can be used. I hope this helps!
