Sileo Gel for Dogs - 3ml
Sileo for Dogs: Alleviating Noise Phobia in Dogs
What is Sileo for Dogs?
Sileo for Dogs is an oromucosal gel specifically formulated to help dogs suffering from acute anxiety and fear induced by loud sounds. These noises, often unpredictable, can range from fireworks and thunderstorms to construction noises and other sudden, loud disturbances. Designed as a vet-prescribed medication, Sileo provides an effective and measured response to help calm dogs experiencing significant stress due to noise phobia. Administered via a preloaded oral syringe, it allows for precise dosage that is absorbed quickly through the tissues in the mouth.
How Sileo for Dogs Works
The active ingredient in Sileo is dexmedetomidine hydrochloride, a compound that works directly on the nervous system to alleviate symptoms of noise phobia. When administered, Sileo interacts with receptors in the brain to inhibit the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter associated with alertness and the body's "fight-or-flight" response. By reducing norepinephrine release, Sileo calms the dog, lessening feelings of fear and anxiety that occur when exposed to specific triggers like fireworks or storms. Unlike some calming medications, Sileo does not sedate the dog but instead brings a sense of calm while allowing normal activity and behaviour.
Sileo is applied using a pre-dosed syringe that is placed between the dog’s gum and cheek. The gel is absorbed into the mucous membranes, leading to rapid onset of action. This convenient form of delivery makes it accessible and quick for pet owners to administer, especially in situations where a sudden noise or event may induce stress. The gel form also ensures that dosing can be accurately adjusted based on the dog’s size, as per veterinary guidance.
