We transferred our dog's existing script to Chewy for convenience (vs. picking it up once a month from them). His anxiety was very well managed. Exact same prescription, exact same dosage - but the Chewy formula didn't work at all! We had three days of using it and an increasingly upset dog before frantically calling our vet to get a replacement from them. 24 hours later, no other changes at all besides the vet's pills vs. Chewy's, and everything was back to normal. I did notice the pills were slightly larger than the ones our vet gave us, so I think it must be a different generic formula that just doesn't work for our dog. Please be aware of this possibility when switching pharmacies!
This is by far the best product I would ever recommend for my highly stressed pit! There is nothing that doesn’t scare her and cause her to go into full blown panic mode! We just recently moved into a new home and she went into full destruction ruining 2 of our couch cushions that we just bought the night before, then started using this and we haven’t had any issues with panic or anxiety or even her freaking out when I’m not in the same room as her! She only gets 2 pills every few weeks depending on if there’s going to be a rain storm or fireworks that night, then she will get 2 if needed. She refuses to take the pills, but if I crush them up with the back of a spoon and mix them with whipped cream she has no problems!
We came across trazodone for my dog, "accidentally"...after she ended up at the emergency vet for a tear she received during daycare...they prescribed her trazodone as she is a 65 pound CRAZY ENERGETIC 2 year old black lab...seriously, her energy can be off the charts! If we're awake, she thinks it's playtime. all.day.long... Anyways, they gave it to me to keep her calm as to not disturb the stitches as she wasn't allowed to jump or play or run for 2 weeks!!! I've actually taken Trazodone before for myself, for sleep issues and always loved it when I took it. We've had our pup, Olive, for about 8 months now and since coming to be with us, her energy, sometimes, can be a lot to handle... We also have a 6 year old lab who is not as energetic (although he has his moments!) They do love to play together, but he'd rather lay on the couch all day until it's time to go to the park. I do work from home and she would sit here barking at me while I am working, hindering my work, making me frustrated and angry. :( (c'mon I'm human!) I want to play with her, but I just can't because - I'm working. I try to take her to the dog park, daily, to release her energy, but that's usually not until after I get off work...otherwise I try to take her on a walk in the mornings...but that's just not enough for her. So when trazodone came into our lives...seriously. This stuff is a god-send. I asked our vet about keeping her on this, daily, to help with her anxiety and barking ... and she immediately agreed that it would be a great idea and safe to do! I will add, we HAVE put her through obedience training, which has helped, but obedience training isn't BEHAVIORAL training...(which we are looking into) And I also take her to day care on Fridays so that she can have all day to play with other dogs... So the pill is 5mg per kg of weight which for her ends up being 136 mg per dose... I have quickly learned she doesn't even need that much! I give her 1 - 50mg pill daily (more like 4 out of 7 days/week) and she is so much calmer and happy during the day while I work! I'm so happy that I can get it easily through Chewy!
They do all the work! Need refills? They call the vet office. Sign up for automated refills and never have to worry about running out. Arrives at your door like clockwork. My Sheba is very happy!
I purchased a prescription for my Dog and Chewy took care of getting the vet prescription and getting it shipped out super fast and the price was great.

Our rescued chow-chow has fear issues and dislikes being restrained, coat combed/clipped, or having nails trimmed. We tried just Ace and Gabapentin plus Acepromazine to mildly sedate her. But, even with higher than recommended levels of Ace, she was still anxious and fearful to the point of biting. When Gaba was combined with the Trazodone (vet suggested) , she was much more receptive to grooming. I then easily purchased Trazodone, in bulk, from Chewy at a very reasonable price.
The Kansas City fireworks are absolutely ridiculous. Some of the private celebrators use professional-grade explosives. Over a pound in a single firework. The terror goes on for days with near continuous blasts from dusk to 2 in the morning. I took my first pill at five and then another around 2 and was able to get some sleep. We had used up our supply before the fourth and our re-order arrived in time !!!
My dog suffer from extreme anxiety during storms. I have tried everything and finally had to resort to prescription drugs. This works well for him. I am very pleased that we finally found the remedy for his problem. The only problem was trying to get a prescription from my vet as they no longer accept phone calls I had to go in person to pick it up and mail it to Chewy. But Chewy being the great customer service that they are , mailed the item before they received the RX in the mail. Thank you Chewy. You guys are the best
I needed a fast refill today and paid $20 for 20 pills at a local pharmacy vs $2.80 for 20 pills with free shipping from Chewy!! I guarantee I will do better planning next time. My dog has extremely annoying car anxiety and 75 mg of Trazodone calms her for long trips. It doesn't knock her out but eliminates the whining and restlessness which provides a much better ride for both of us. Competent and friendly Customer Service have been standard since I began using Chewy and there's no chance of me switching!
