Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Male | neutered | 1 year and 3 months old | 32 lbs
My 32 poodle has separation anxiety. He stretches at our doors until injury while we are away. We are slowly working up to leaving him for longer than 10 mins but may need an over the counter drug in the meantime. Any suggestions?

You can try these calming aids ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-calming-aids ) along with your behavior modification techniques. Be patient and be consistent. If you end up needing a prescription medication, you will need to have Mozart physically examined by your veterinarian first.
