I do not recommend giving human sleeping pills to Jammy. VetriScience Composure once daily calming chews are often very effective in treating anxiety in dogs and do not require a prescription. They are available on PetCo.com and Chewy. com. If they do not adequately calm your pet 30 min after dosing, I recommend making an appointment with your vet re: prescription sedative options including trazadone. Good luck!
