JF - Veterinary Evidence JA - VE VL - 2 IS - 3 SE - Knowledge Summaries DO - 10.18849/ve.v2i3.67 UR - https://veterinaryevidence.org/index.php/ve/article/view/67 SP - AB - <p><strong>Clinical bottom line</strong></p><p>There is currently no evidence to show that alpha-casozepine is effective as an anxiolytic when administered to dogs shortly (minutes to a few days) before exposure to an anxiety provoking stressor. There is limited and weak evidence to suggest that it may have a role to play in reducing anxiety in dogs over the medium to longer term but the available evidence is of low quality and / or high risk of bias, with confounding variables providing alternative explanations for the findings. More research is needed in this area.</p><p><br><img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access"> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed"></p> ER -
