What is the dosage of Xanax you can give your dog?

( posted by someone else)

Xanax is actually a prescribed medicine for dogs.

As long as you have a prescription from your vet it is safe to give to your dog. If you are unsure of the dose or the current dose is not working, you should contact your vet to discuss your options.

My dog is on xanax, she is 13lbs and can take up to .5mg a day.

Just so everyone knows, the xanax dogs take is the exact same kind that humans take, my dog's prescription was filled at a Kroger pharmacy.

It is absolutely not safe to dose your dog with your xanax though. Vets know your dogs condition and any possible reasons your dog could be harmed by ANY medicine. ALWAYS get medicine from a veterinarian for your animals, that is the only way you can know the correct dose to administer.

After all we would not give our children prescription medication without discussing it with a doctor, same goes for your pets!!!!
