SOOTHING STORM NERVES - SILEO

For many pet owners, helping their dogs cope with storm phobia can be a real challenge. The anxiety and fear triggered by thunderstorms can leave our furry companions trembling, pacing, panting, hiding, and seeking comfort. In some cases, this overwhelming fear can even lead to destructive behavior, excessive barking, or health problems. Thankfully, there's now a groundbreaking solution: Sileo, a medication designed to specifically alleviate the stress caused by storm phobia in dogs.

Sileo offers a targeted, highly effective approach to managing this type of anxiety. Unlike sedatives that may leave your dog groggy or unresponsive, Sileo is uniquely formulated to calm anxiety associated with loud noises like thunder without causing drowsiness. The active ingredient, dexmedetomidine, works by inhibiting the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in the body's stress response, providing your dog with relief without affecting their overall behavior.

This innovative treatment comes in an easy-to-administer gel form, which you apply directly between your dog’s cheek and gums using a pre-calibrated syringe. The gel is absorbed through the mucous membranes in their mouth, quickly providing relief from anxiety. The effects of Sileo are fast-acting, allowing your dog to stay calm yet alert during stormy weather.

Sileo can be given as needed, with the option of up to five doses in a 24-hour period, based on the severity of your dog's anxiety. It’s important to follow the veterinarian’s recommended dosage and instructions to ensure the best results. The pre-calibrated syringe makes it easy to deliver the right amount tailored to your dog's size.

Before starting treatment, it’s essential to consult with your veterinarian. While Sileo is generally safe and effective, it may not be suitable for all dogs. Your vet will take into account your dog’s health, any existing medical conditions, and any other medications they may be taking to ensure the treatment is right for them.

If your dog suffers from storm phobia, don’t let thunderstorms cause them distress. Sileo offers a safe, effective, and easy-to-administer solution to help your dog feel calm during stressful weather.
