Is dog Trazadone safe if left in a hot car for separation anxiety?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 8 months old | 30 lbs

Our vet prescribed Trazadone for my dog’s separation anxiety, but I accidentally left the bottle in a hot car for several days. Is the drug still going to be safe/effective?

The medication is supposed to be stored at room temperature but it will likely be okay since it was just a few days. If you notice that it doesn’t seem effective then you could ask your vet for a refill.
