Episode 82 – How young is too young to start Behaviour Meds?

“Oh, I’m sure they’ll grow out of it…”. A phrase that makes my heart sink when it comes to young dogs with obvious behavioural diagnoses.

Now, what do I mean by “young”? We’re talking about dogs somewhere between 6 and 12 months of age and yes, it is absolutely possible that these youngsters already have a behavioural diagnosis based on genetics, epigenetics and early life learning experiences.

Should we wait to treat them?

Absolutely not!

In this episode, I chat through my reasons for making this bold statement and present you with a nice study by Dr Jill Sackman, DACVB, et.al. “Outcomes and side effects of Behavior Medications in young dogs”, that shows that the use of behaviour medications in young dogs (6-12 months of age), is safe and prevents the continued development of more troublesome problem behaviours!

To learn more about adolescence in dogs, have a listen to Episode 67 of this podcast !
