I usually start with the natural supplement Solliquin. It is effective for anxiety and I’ve never seen side effects. There are similar products sold also at PetCo. Taking your dog to a traing class with other dogs can often help them learn proper behavior, and will build their confidence which will decrease the anxiety. If needed your veterinarian can prescribe medication. There are several good ones and the one they would choose depends on your dogs behavior, and medical condition. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Token.
