GREAT PRODUCT
We adopted a rescued ~3 year old Beagle in May of 2013. �He is the best thing that has happened to me since my daughters were born. �When we brought Eddy home he was afraid of everything. �We would move the chairs on the deck and he would notice and shy away from going out. �I bought him a new dog bed and he was to scared to even go sniff it (he loves it now). �Eddy would also spend his day upstairs in the bedroom and only come down when he had to go out or eat, �He would shy away when anyone would come towards him.
Well...in June our veterinarian suggested we try Anxitane (well not us, but Eddy). �We bought a package and Eddy seemed to be getting better. �We then thought after Eddy had been on the Anxitane for the full package that maybe he was better just because we had him long enough. �We discontinued use and within 3 or 4 days his fearful tendencies returned. �I immediately went back to the vet and purchased some more Anxitane. �Eddy returned back to a calmer, more well-adjusted pal.
After that we started to purchase the Anxitane from Vet RX Direct due to the considerable price difference.
This is a great product (without being a prescription type like Prozac) that Eddy will be on for the rest of his LONG life!!

Really helps fearful dog that is noise reactive
From UndisclosedComments about Anxitane (L-Theanine) M and L, 100mg L-Theanine per Tab, 30 Tablet BoxFormer street puppy, came to me at 6 months very fearful and timid. Gradually came out of her shell and became fairly confident over the next year but recently started becoming very fearful and stressed over odd things. She was very noise reactive, and scared of things that didn't bother her before. No physical reason could be determined, vet wanted to try her on Prozac. That lasted 6 days, it made her even more frightened and she stopped eating. I bought the Anxitane tablets along with an Adaptil collar, and they have made a world of difference. No longer oddly scared of random things, the noise phobia is much less and I have a much happier dog. I don't know which product is more helpful, or whether it's the two in conjunction, but am planning on continuing the use of both for the foreseeable future. #sweepstakes.-
Relaxed and happy!

Helps with my dog's anxiety
From UndisclosedComments about Anxitane (L-Theanine) S, 50mg L-Theanine per Tab, 30 Tablet BoxI purchased the Anxitane tablets for my 16 year old pup. She sometimes has anxiety when I leave the house . Anxitane helped calm my Delilah and ease her anxiety. She loves the flavor , so it's easy to give her. It works! -

May be helping
From UndisclosedComments about Anxitane (L-Theanine) M and L, 100mg L-Theanine per Tab, 30 Tablet BoxThe behaviorist suggested Anxitane for both of my cats because Jasper gets very excited when he sees Stella and tries to chase her. I'm not sure the Anxitane is what's helping calm them downbecause Jasper is also on Reconcile and Stella is also on Zylkene, but it's definitely not hurting and may also be helping; it's just hard to know.-

Good for Separation Anxiety
From UndisclosedComments about Anxitane (L-Theanine) M and L, 100mg L-Theanine per Tab, 30 Tablet BoxMy dog suffers from serious separation anxiety and used to bark, scratch at doors, and carry on. This medicine helps so much when I have to leave to work! It is costly for a large dog and the pills are quite big, so keep this in mind.-

Possibly working- will have to check back in a few days
From UndisclosedComments about Anxitane (L-Theanine) M and L, 100mg L-Theanine per Tab, 30 Tablet BoxI think it might be working. I purchased this 1.5 weeks ago and only finally started giving her 1 pill consistently for the last 2-3 days. And any form of medication can take atleasr 15 days to adjust a body. It says under 55lbs gets half a tab twice a day. She is under 55lbs but I still gave her 1 full pill in the morning with her breakfast then I give her CBD chews in the PM with her dinner. What really shocked me was last night when I was on the phone with a friend, she actually calmed herself down on the couch after a few minutes. Usually she is all up in my space or trying to get into something to get my attention. She actually laid down on the couch and tried to sleep. Sooooo maybe the medication is working?! 🤷🏼♀️ -

Reliable and Consistent
From UndisclosedComments about Anxitane (L-Theanine) S, 50mg L-Theanine per Tab, 30 Tablet BoxHave used this product for years with good success. Half a tab when our kitty Diego is agitated or stressed really helps. Takes about 20 min. to have a calming effect. And it must smell good to him since he always gobbles it up like a favorite piece of kibble!-
Diego endorses Anxitane!

Q & A
-
Both of my cats are on Anxitane (20 lb cat 1/2 tablet twice a day, 8 lb cat 1/4 tablet twice a day). I prepare pill containers for each of them for a week at a time so our morning and evening routines are easier. I just noticed that it says to keep in the blister pack until ready to use. Is this a problem, or is that just to prevent people from taking all of them out and not using for weeks? Thank you.?
-
The manufacturer of Anxitane, Virbac, recommends keeping the tablets in the blister pack until they are ready to be used to fulfill stability of the drug formulation. Removing the pills from the blister pack can potentially expose it to other substances and could result in cross-contamination with other medications if added to a pill box unwrapped.

My under 22lb dog ate a whole pill that i accidentally dropped while breaking it. Will he be okay?????
-
According to the manufacturer’s directions for use, small dogs weighing up to 22lbs, should recieve 1/2 tablet twice daily for long term or maintenance administration. During stressful events, dogs weighing up to 22lbs may receive 1/2 tablet every 12 hours and 2 hours before the event and a 1/2 tablet every 6 hours during the event. According to those directions, 1 whole tablet daily does not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. If you have any additional concerns regarding this medication and your dog, please contact your veterinarian immediately.

My two 10-year-old cats both eat a prescription diet of "low molecular weight food" due to one of them having a skin allergy. They recently began fighting with each other (cause unknown) and this was one of two similar products recommended by my vet to help with calming them and reducing aggression. The vet was unsure whether this supplement would interact/counteract the good that the prescription food is doing, simply by introducing a new "ingredient" to their diet. Can you please advise if this product is considered hypoallergenic or allergen-free??
-
The manufacturer states their have been no studies done in regards to this product with low-molecular weight diets. The manufacturer recommends to use this product at the veterinarian’s discretion.

In your description of this product you recommend it for dogs who get anxious when they are left, yet in the information about the product it says that it's not for dogs with separation anxiety. This is false advertising! Please enlighten me as to how "Not intended for use in animals with severe phobias, separation anxiety..." Is different from "If thunderstorms or your absence cause your dog or cat to be anxious or fearful, there is help." Please, which one is true?!??

Anxitane contains L-theanine, a natural occurring amino acid found in green tea that has been associated with relaxing effects. The manufacturer recommends this product to help reduce anxiety during stressful moments such as; thunderstorms, fireworks, car rides, socialization, aging, and traffic noise. It is not intended for use in animals with severe phobias, separation anxiety or in animals with a known history of aggression. During trials of this drug, owners were with their dogs while on the medication in order to report efficacy. In some cases, behavior problems were associated with separating (owner leaving or death of another pet), moving (to a new home or a change in animal's immediate environment), and traumatic events (accidents). Talk with your veterinarian to determine if anxitane is something you dog can benefit from. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I missed a dose, can I give my 40 lb dog a full tablet.?
-
Anxitane can be a beneficial adjunctive supplement when combined with a behavior modification program in pets exhibiting nervousness, anxiety or environmentally induced stress. The manufacturer recommends giving ½ tablet twice daily for long term administration in dogs weighing 22.1 - 55 pounds. They also state that during an episodic event to give ½ tablet, 12 hours and 2 hours before the event and ½ tablet every 6 hours during the event. Always check with your veterinarian prior to doubling the dose of any medication for your pet in the event of a missed dose. Doubling the dose may lead to increased side effects and may not have any benefit over skipping the missed dose. Follow the manufacturer's dosing guidelines for Anxitane and resume the normal dosing schedule of ½ tablet twice daily for your 40 pound dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect
