My 7 yr old dog has separation anxiety issues. My Veterinarian recommended trying OTC Melatonin 3mg. Can someone recommend a particular brand of OTC Melatonin to purchase? I'm afraid Xylitol made be an ingredient that is not disclosed on the package. I contacted Natures Made. I was told No Xylitol in the Melatonin.

How about trying something like Trazodone instead? Trazodone works to increase Seratonin in the brain, and can cause relaxation and even mild sedation at high doses. I prefer to use this for cases of anxiety. If you choose to persist with Melatonin, I would use a reputable company like Thorne.
