Lesson series
Mix-n-Matching Meds
Veterinary behaviorists commonly use multiple behavior medications at the same time to best support their patients. But if you aren’t working with a veterinary behavior team, concerns about interactions, dose timing, and side effects can prevent the most dedicated veterinarians from prescribing more than one medication .
The good news is using medications together is not new; some of us have been doing it for more than 20 years! At Behavior Vets, we believe improvements happen faster with an educated team.
In this Two-Part series, we will cover the complexities and benefits of using medications together.
