Hi there and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! For anxiety, there is a product over the counter that you can use, which can be found online or at your local PetCo, called NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin. I would start this supplement and see if it helps relieve the anxiety. You can also try the Adaptil collar and thundershirt to see if this also aids in relieving the anxiety. If the anxiety worsens or does not improve, I would schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss anti-anxiety medications. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
