Reviews about the drug
Alina. I recently purchased a Caucasian Shepherd puppy. The dog is large and serious, so I took up its upbringing closely. As a result, she unquestioningly learned to follow all commands and got used not only to me, but also to all members of my family. But recently she went into heat. This became a real test for me. The dog began to show aggression, barking incessantly, and rushing at me. The veterinarian recommended the drug Kot-bayun as an effective sedative. After a week of use, I noticed that the dog became calmer and more balanced. A very good drug, no side effects.
Oleg. After purchasing the puppy, at first there were no problems. But over time, I began to notice that the dog was afraid of noise and loud sounds. I went to the veterinary clinic for advice, and they recommended the herbal preparation Kot-bayun. I started giving it to my dog according to the instructions and very soon noticed the results. She became much calmer and stopped reacting to minor stimuli.
Dog owners note that the drug helps their animals cope with restless behavior.
Inna. I read a lot of conflicting reviews on the Internet about the drug for dogs Kot-Bayun. I want to say that it helped my dog a lot. Natural ingredients are not addictive, have no contraindications or adverse reactions. The only negative is long-term use.
Folk remedies
As folk remedies, infusions of sedative herbs are used, which can be purchased both at a veterinary and at a regular pharmacy. This option will be the safest and most gentle for your pet, but not always effective.
Valerian
Helps with neuroses and panic conditions. Valerian is an antispasmodic, which helps cope with stress-related diarrhea. In some cases, an allergic reaction in the form of overexcitation of the nervous system is possible, which is especially not recommended for large aggressive dogs. At the first signs of such a reaction, the drug is immediately discontinued. The course of taking valerian is no more than a week. Dosage – 5-15 drops (depending on the dog’s weight) 3-4 times a day.
Motherwort
Indications for use and effects on the nervous system are approximately the same as those of valerian. But the result, as a rule, is much better, and there are no side effects in the form of increased excitability. You need to take it in a course, about a week. The dosage is calculated the same as for valerian: 5-15 drops 3-4 times a day.
Passionflower
This plant has a good effect on stress and panic, which are accompanied by aggression. Helps cope with manifestations of jealousy towards a new animal, guests in the house or a child. It works well in cases where valerian gives the opposite stimulating effect.
Baikal skull cap
Effective for acute or chronic restless conditions, increased excitability, nervous tension (including due to injury or illness). Has a restorative effect after experiencing stress.
Contraindicated in case of low blood pressure and heart failure. Take 5-20 drops, depending on weight, 2 times a day.
Reviews from veterinarians about the drug
Anna Ivanovna. In my practice, I sometimes prescribe the sedative Kot-bayun to correct the behavior of dogs. Some owners note a significant improvement after just two weeks of use. Others consider the drug ineffective. I think it all depends on the dog's individual reactions to the ingredients.
Elena Igorevna. I always recommend my patients to use Kot-bayun. In my opinion, this drug is very effective and safe, non-addictive. In addition, it strengthens the dog’s body’s defenses and has no contraindications.
Olga Dmitrievna. As a veterinarian with extensive experience, I can confidently say that Kot-bayun for dogs is a very good sedative with a mild effect. It is absolutely safe for health, but requires long-term therapy.
As you can see, reviews from veterinarians about the drug are mostly positive.
Veterinarians recommend the drug Kot Bayun if dogs are stressed or behave restlessly.
