32mg Fluoxevet Tablets for Dogs
Fluoxevet 32mg Tablets for Dogs are a veterinary prescription medication designed to support the management of separation-related disorders in dogs. This medicine contains fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which is widely used in veterinary behavioural medicine to aid dogs suffering from chronic stress or anxiety associated with separation.
Separation-related disorders are common in dogs and often present serious challenges for both the pet and the owner. These disorders can significantly impact a dog's wellbeing, and they often require a combination of behavioural therapy and medical support. Fluoxevet is intended to be used as part of a comprehensive behavioural modification plan and should only be administered under the direction of a veterinary surgeon.

Description
What Are Separation-Related Disorders in Dogs?
Separation-related disorders refer to a set of behaviours displayed by dogs who become anxious or distressed when left alone or separated from their owners. These behaviours are often triggered by the anticipation of separation, and they may persist even when the dog is left for a short time.
Common signs of separation-related disorders include:
- Destructive behaviour, such as chewing furniture or scratching doors
- Excessive barking, howling or whining
- House soiling, even when house-trained
- Pacing, restlessness or attempts to escape
- Self-injury through excessive licking or biting
These behaviours are not signs of disobedience but are expressions of distress. Separation-related disorders can develop in dogs of any age or breed and may be more prevalent in dogs with a traumatic history, such as rescue animals or those who have experienced sudden changes in routine or environment.
If left unaddressed, these conditions can worsen over time, impacting the dog's quality of life and potentially leading to further behavioural complications.
How Fluoxevet Works
32mg Fluoxevet Tablets contain fluoxetine hydrochloride, a well-established SSRI that works by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood, anxiety, and behaviour.
In dogs with separation-related disorders, low serotonin levels are often associated with increased anxiety, impulsivity, and stress. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, Fluoxevet helps to maintain higher serotonin levels, which can improve emotional stability and reduce anxious behaviours.
It is important to note that Fluoxevet 32mg is not a sedative and does not produce immediate effects. The therapeutic benefits of the medicine generally begin to appear within one to two weeks after the start of treatment. Full behavioural improvement may take several weeks and is best achieved when the medication is used alongside a tailored behavioural training programme.
Usage and Administration
Fluoxevet Tablets are available in 8 mg and 16 mg strengths and are scored for easy division if needed. The appropriate dosage is determined by a veterinary professional based on the dog’s weight, condition, and response to treatment.
Administer once daily, with or without food
Always follow the dosage instructions provided by the prescribing veterinarian
Tablets should be given for the prescribed duration, even if behavioural signs begin to improve earlier
Owners should not adjust the dosage or discontinue use without veterinary advice. Abrupt withdrawal can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of anxious behaviour.
Fluoxevet is a prescription-only medicine and should only be used under the supervision of a qualified veterinary surgeon. Before initiating treatment, a full behavioural assessment should be carried out to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether medication is appropriate.
During treatment, regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor the dog’s progress, assess for any side effects, and adjust the dosage if required. In some cases, long-term use may be necessary, depending on the severity of the condition and the response to behavioural therapy.
Veterinarians may recommend additional behavioural techniques or refer the dog to a qualified animal behaviourist to ensure the best possible outcome.
Fluoxevet should not be used in dogs with known hypersensitivity to fluoxetine or other SSRIs
Do not use in dogs that are pregnant or lactating
Should not be used in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or other medications that affect serotonin levels
Not intended for use in dogs weighing less than 4kg. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place
Some dogs may experience side effects, including reduced appetite, digestive upset, or changes in behaviour. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Any concerns should be reported to a veterinarian promptly.

8mg Reconcile Chewable Tablet for Dogs - Single Tablet
8mg Reconcile for Dogs is a prescription medication that contains fluoxetine. Reconcile 8mg is available as chewable tablets and it's indicated as an aid in the treatment of separation-related disorders in dogs manifested by destruction and inappropriate behaviours (vocalisation and inappropriate defaecation and/or urination).
Reconcile is a prescription-only medication for dogs suffering from separation anxiety. The 8mg dose is typically prescribed for small to medium-sized dogs, depending on the animal's weight and condition. Reconcile is designed to be used in combination with a structured behaviour modification programme, under the guidance of a veterinary professional.
Reconcile contains fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This active ingredient works by increasing the amount of serotonin available in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, anxiety, and behaviour. In dogs with separation anxiety, serotonin levels may be imbalanced, which can contribute to distress when left alone. By restoring this balance, Reconcile can help reduce anxious behaviours over time.
Separation anxiety is a common behavioural issue in dogs. It occurs when a dog becomes distressed or exhibits undesirable behaviours when separated from their owner or primary caregiver. Common signs include excessive barking or howling, destructive chewing, attempts to escape, urinating or defecating indoors, and pacing. These behaviours often begin shortly after the owner leaves and can be distressing for both the dog and the household.
The 8mg strength of Reconcile is usually prescribed for dogs weighing between 8.1kg and 16kg. Dosage is typically given once daily, and it is important that the medication is administered at the same time each day to maintain a consistent effect. Tablets are flavoured to aid compliance and are often well-accepted by dogs when offered with food or as a treat.

16mg Reconcile Chewable Tablet for Dogs - Single Tablet
16mg Reconcile is a prescription medication used to manage separation-related disorders in dogs. Each tablet contains 16mg of fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that helps regulate mood and reduce anxiety.
Reconcile is prescribed for dogs experiencing distress when left alone. It is designed to be used alongside behavioural modification therapy to help dogs develop healthier coping mechanisms. This medication can improve a dog's overall well-being by reducing anxiety-driven behaviours.
How 16mg Reconcile Works
Reconcile 16mg contains fluoxetine hydrochloride, an SSRI that increases serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood, emotions, and behaviour. Low serotonin levels can contribute to anxiety, stress, and compulsive behaviours.
Fluoxetine works by preventing the reabsorption of serotonin in the brain, allowing more of the chemical to remain active. This helps stabilise mood and reduce the emotional distress that leads to unwanted behaviours in dogs with separation-related disorders.
Reconcile does not cause immediate changes in behaviour. It takes several weeks for the medication to reach full effectiveness, during which time dogs may gradually show signs of reduced anxiety and improved responses to training.

Affected dogs may exhibit destructive behaviours, excessive barking, inappropriate urination, or attempts to escape.
