Happy pup and Happy family
My girl Pepper was nervous about so many common things. The dog sitter recommended I ask the Vet to prescribe anti anxiety meds and this has made our lives so much better. She is a happy, loving, more confident dog.

Happy with 1-800 Pet Meds
We purchased Fluoxetine for our dog, Vivianna. She is 3 years old and had been very anxious with other dogs & people. She has become less shy & will approach other dogs & people timidly. She also goes to Doggy Day Care 1 x a week & this helps too. We are happy with Pet Meds & the price of this medicine. Thank your, Pet Meds.
