Through the regulation of serotonin and the inhibition of 5-HT2 receptors in the neurological system,
these kinds of medications can be helpful in treating the symptoms of depression and sleeplessness in humans.
In dogs, trazodone has an effect on serotonin levels as well, which helps to reduce anxiety
and aggression in situations that would otherwise be very provoking.
For the purpose of managing chronic anxiety disorders as well as keeping dogs calm for short periods of time,
it is an extremely useful tool in the field of pet therapy.
Dr. Butzer emphasizes that trazodone will not prevent your dog from biting in situations where the dog is exhibiting aggressive behavior.
