take your dog outside more, especially in the morning. your body produces serotonin when you're exposed to sunlight, you don't have to be directly in the sun. serotonin is the precursor to melatonin. it'll be good for both of you,

Dr. Jones, you are absolutely right about the use of melatonin for dogs. I have a sixteen-year-old dog with some dementia and about three months ago he was keeping me up all night howling and it was me who wasn't getting rest. He was put on melatonin and now he and I both get to sleep and to me it's a wonder drug.

this works for hair loss and everything you say. My daughters mini 5 lb. pom lost almost all her hair and it came almost completely back. also works for my highly immune suppressed rescued at 8weeks now 5 yrs old..papillon mix. I feed balanced home made salmon/vitamins meals I make (she eats better than we do) ;)). It all help her but have to keep on top of her weakness. I don't think she will ever be completely healed of her immunity weakness. Im now doing your flea and tic remedy for her (Daisy), she looks like a 12 lb papillon, white and apricot...so cute...love her to pieces. She's worth every bit of my energy and time and I just hope I can outlive her. I really worry about that because I'm 77. I don't think anyone would ever commit to all the care and love it takes to keep her cared for.

Be careful using any human meds because many, especially gummies or chewables, are often sweetened with Zylitol which is extremely toxic for dogs! Read ingredient labels carefully! Best to buy a melatonin capsule with zero additives

@binkysimpson1878 10 ай бұрын

Please do not give your dog the gummies. Please read the ingredients. The sweetened ones almost always contain Xylitol (sometimes it may say birch bark or birch sugar). Xylitol is very poisonous to dogs. I give my 15 year old dog melantonin because he seems to have sundowing and wasn't sleeping at night. It works. But the vet told me to check carefully to make sure I only used the unsweetened. ones so he would not be ingesting Xylitol
