mushroom 12,352 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Kay have you tried those valerian root pills? We had a dog that could be be a bit of a cnut with others, years ago. Vet said to try it, half human dose in its food everyday. Seemed to work but you have to watch out for lethargy. If the dog seems lethargic then reduce the dose As for moulting, I have to vacuum everyday or I start to get a white carpet on my tiled floors 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am willing to try anything to be brutally honest, i will have a look at these Valerian root pills as well.. I have been looking at these adaptil collars but there very pricey & only last a month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
