• My family was affected by hurricane florence which has caused us to move around a bit. We are now in a hotel for an extended stay. My dog has become very stressed and is chewing on her back and paws and constantly scratching. Benedryl doesn't seem to be helping her (she is about 60 pounds and I give(2) 25 mg pills). My question is is there anything else I can give her otc until her appointment in 10 days? Calming pills, melatonin, anything safe and effective? She is a 2 year old healthy dog with no health issues. Thank you

    Hi Jennifer,
    I recommend that you call and talk to your local veterinarian about this. There may be other over the counter medications that can be used but this will depend on your pet’s size, breed, and overall health. Your local vet knows your pet’s medical history so they will be able to give you the best recommendations on this.
