IMHO. Drugging your dog instead of teaching it to be good.. so American. Then again my dog is far from.. civil. But that's his character. |

I think so, if the problem(s) couldn't be cleared up by training and the dog was driving everyone nuts -- like neighbors complaining about the barking or something. Kind of like a last resort. It supposedly has all-natural ingredients, but you might want to ask your vet first. |

No.... What's this, like doggie valium? Psychotropics for dogs? I'm afraid to ask 'what next' |

No, and if you have to use one of these, you shouldn't be allowed pets. |

No I do not take it, but it looks like something that might help my behaviour.  |

I don't have a dog. If I had a dog who needed to be calmed down, I would find out what was in this product and use it if I thought it was ok for my dog. I might ask my vet's advice. |

I want to say "no" because it's awful, but the truth is a hyperactive dog would probably make me want to use this stuff.
Hopefully, I will avoid every owning a hyper dog, though. |

No. I got a whippet puppy last week and he's close to driving everyone in the household nuts, but I would never use a substance to calm him.
He's getting his second set of injections on saturday, which means I'll soon be able to take him out for proper walks, and I fully expect that when he's out walking for two or three hours every day, he'll much calmer and better behaved.
I love watching the 'Dog Whisperer', I think the guy on it has such a brilliant way with dogs and their owners, but it does seem that many of the problems he encounters arise because of people not exercising their dog enough - the last episode I watched a couple walked their dog ONCE a week. What's the point in having a dog if you're going to inhibit it's natural way of life that much and never walk the damned things?! |

I might.
It would be a last resort if I did, I would do the non daily instant first, and if there was nothing that proper diet, training, checking for parasites wouldn't cure and the dog still acted like an butt-hole, than I might. |

Not to argue, but as an example, I have acquired a 4 1/2 year old dog that is a rescue dog. She isgetting much better, but the first 2 weeks she bit me several times. she is unpreductable, and the gromming experience abd the vet experience is more than my adrenals can handle, I need the tranqquilizer more than she does. BUT the dog is improving in the 4 months she has been with us. I walk her 2 to 3 times a day. I do not let anyone pet her, unless she is clear about wanting to be petted. If things do not get good enough that I don't feel like she is a liability, than I would give her a dose for any of her 'appointments'. Why do I have this dog? Things happen. Why do I kep this dog? Because I have fallen in puppy dog love with this little dog. She makes me very happy. Life is not perfect, pet owners are not perfect and dogs have their own quirks too. I may go as far as knitting a sweater for her that says "do not touch" if I have to to keep her. Everyone has a right to have a pet as long as no one loses an eye, or any appendages...or excessive blood loss...or...um....anyway, I would be very sad if she had to go. |

That's fudgeed up. |
| jettles | | posted 11-Jul-2008 9:23am |
no, i wouldn't if i could. i think that most of our pets are anxious for some reason either not enough exercise, not enough attention, etc..... i would try to find another way to remedy the situation if i could. |

I don't have a dog. If I did have a dog, I would not use it. I don't think there's any more chance of random herbal treatments bought off the internet working for a dog than there is of them working for humans. |

I'd ask my vet first, and I'd only use it if I had a dog that got really upset over car rides or something - very rarely would I use it. |

I am not familiar with Poyz and am too lazy to click on the click, but it sounds like some sort of dog Ritalin. I don't think I would use it. I'd find a different way to deal with an unruly dog. |
| laurenk1 | | posted 13-Jul-2008 11:42pm |
i would definetly NOT use something like this on my dogs. i thought that medicating our children was out there...well this one takes the cake |
| diabeticdave | | posted 21-Sep-2008 1:06am |
Yeah treat it with drugs like everything else. Maybe the dog has DAD "Doggie Attention Deficit" |
