The prior owners both take prozac. The dog was on prozac. I suppose they figured what's good for them is good for the dog too.
(The dog is doing very well. No prozac)
- serf 3y ago>The prior owners had decided to kill it. On the advice of the dog's psychiatrist. that's the kind of story that makes it upsetting that 'dog psychiatrist' is a title, a real psychiatrist would never eventually resort to 'Well, how about euthanasia?' i'm glad the dog is doing well.
- pugworthy 3y ago> On the advice of the dog's psychiatrist This is where I started scratching my metaphorical head. This is what makes me think the reason for high Prozac prescriptions is that there exist such a thing as a "dog's psychiatrist" as a profession.
- punyearthling 3y agotangental story, but my dog had chronic ear infections since we adopted her as a puppy. my vet at the time told use she had a gluten allergy and to put her on grain-free foods. years later, i'm seeing another vet and he says that's all non-sense and grain-free diets actually cause heart issues in dogs. he tells me much of the pet care industry immitates the human care industry, e.g., fad diets and medical trends. i can't help but notice this whenever i go to a pet store now. the labeling on foods and the push for "CBD for pets" - can't help but feel the pet care companies co-opt marketing strategies for people
