Product Info:

Buspirone reduces anxiety and fear in dogs and cats. It also treats urine spraying in cats. It differs from benzodiazepines, another class of drugs often used to treat anxiety. Unlike benzodiazepines, buspirone does not have muscle relaxant effects, has little to no sedative effects, and does not affect GABA binding, which is important for Central Nervous System (CNS) function.

For:

Dogs and Cats

Benefits:

  • Treats certain types of behavior disorders.
  • Anti-anxiety agent used for behavior modification

How it works:

Buspirone is in an anti-anxiety drug and works by modifying the chemicals used by neurons to communicate with each other. Buspirone will generally not cure a behavior problem, but will control the symptoms. It generally takes several weeks to reach an effective level in the body.
