Is Sileo, a dog sedative, safe for my cat's travel anxiety?

Question

The pet pharmacy gave us sileo as a sedative to use for our cat during traveling. But all I can find online is that it’s for dogs, no mention of cats anywhere. Is sileo safe for cats? Is it effective. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 6 months old | 13 lbs

Hello. Yes, the medication in Sileo is used in cats all the time, but actually using this particular product in cats is considered extra-label & therefore you are using this at your own risk. Since the smallest amount that can be dispensed from the tube is one dot, I assume that is the maximum that anyone would want to use on a cat, but PLEASE contact your pharmacy or your veterinarian for the exact amount to be used. Otherwise, I can not recommend the use of Sileo in cats. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
