8mg Reconcile Chewable Tablet for Dogs - Single Tablet
379359
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.

What is separation-related anxiety disorder in dogs?
Separation-related anxiety disorder is a behavioural condition commonly seen in dogs. It occurs when a dog exhibits signs of stress, anxiety, or distress when separated from their owner or primary caregiver. The symptoms can vary from mild to severe and often appear within minutes of the owner's departure.
Common signs include:
- Excessive barking, whining, or howling
- Destructive behaviour such as chewing furniture, scratching doors, or digging
- House soiling despite being house-trained
- Pacing or restlessness
- Attempts to escape from confined spaces
Separation-related anxiety is not a result of disobedience or poor training. Rather, it reflects a genuine emotional distress that can severely impact a dog's wellbeing. Dogs with separation-related anxiety often show signs of agitation even before the owner leaves, such as panting, drooling, or following the owner around the house.
Separation-related anxiety may develop at any stage of a dog’s life, though it is commonly seen in dogs that have experienced changes in routine, rehoming, long periods of isolation, or traumatic experiences. Early intervention and consistent behaviour modification are key to improving outcomes.
How 8mg Reconcile works
Reconcile Tablets contain fluoxetine hydrochloride, which belongs to the class of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, anxiety, and emotional stability.
By increasing serotonin levels, Reconcile helps reduce symptoms of anxiety and improves a dog’s ability to cope with periods of separation. This change can support a calmer state of mind and make behavioural training more effective. Reconcile is not a sedative. It does not induce sleepiness or suppress a dog's normal behaviour when used at the prescribed dose.
Reconcile is intended to be used as part of a behaviour modification programme. Medication alone is not sufficient for managing separation anxiety. Owners are advised to follow the training plan outlined by their veterinary behaviourist or veterinarian. This may include desensitisation exercises, environmental changes, and consistent routines.
Administration and dosage
Reconcile 8mg Tablets are to be administered once daily, ideally at the same time each day. Tablets may be given with or without food. Each dog’s dosage is determined by their weight and individual response to treatment, and it is essential that the dosage is prescribed and monitored by a veterinarian.
Owners should not alter the dose or discontinue the medication without veterinary advice. In some cases, it may take several weeks to see the full effects of Reconcile. If no improvement is seen after 8 weeks of treatment, veterinary reassessment is recommended.
